I got one from Checkers for about R200 when they were having the DIY sale.
It blows, so I guess it does the job

Re: Electric Blower Option
I use a little electric one I got from Vish http://www.pristinedetailing.co.za/prod ... actor.html. I have no complaints with it and its relatively small size is a plus.
IMO the only thing you really need to be conscious of is trying to dry a car with a petrol blower - you obviously don't want all the exhaust fumes and stuff being blown onto the car, so electric all the way!

Re: Electric Blower Option
extension cord to the rescue.. but its abit too cumbersome with the extension cord/reel thingy. so I may extend the cord of the blower. need to find a neat solution, hate those insulation tape connection jobbies. need to get the proper connectors.jippo wrote: Power cable is too short, only gets as far as the car's boot
