Glad you liking your blower..! I have a Blo Air RS very similar to your Rokit.. Yes agree to all you are saying. BUT the best thing with a blower is Disc Brakes "This is a game changer".... Orange Rusty Discs. Nightmare after spending time on getting your rims looking good, then BOOM the moment you drive away and brake the Barrel is contaminated with Da Rust. Just use the blower to dry the disc after rinsing and not allow Oxidation to kick in.
@@epicautomotivedetailing I have seen So many detailers online giving back their precious vehicle with this issue. Give it a go. Do a quick Vid on it, will help many.
@@petersmith7126 there is a smaller model coming which I am testing soon. To get the best out of a car dryer id always advice a sealant spray / rinse aid
@@epicautomotivedetailing i also have a cordless one charge it up with phone charger for when i restore headlights instead of me dragging out my big blower
@@epicautomotivedetailing Just suggestion but I think a lot of people would appreciate a video of you testing Autogylm producs, like the demonshine or halfords video
@@snapz122 yeah feature a few products throughout the year with autoglym. I often do new product releases as many people already know so much about the older range but I'll be adding more brands to the channel very soon with that style of content
Just bought a Blo Air GT for £220 brand new, more powerful than the Big Boi pro, and half the price. It warms the air +30c above ambient (the Big Boi only does +20c above), and has an 8m hose (Big Boi 5m). I think it's probably the most powerful of all (8HP motor), and is a very competitive price.
I’ve been using a dedicated car dryer, metrovac master blaster for over 5 years. It has more power than the ones you showed and is safe/effective. No drying towel has touched my car. Only downsides are price, noise (use ear protection) and need for dedicated 20 amp circuit.
It's so powerful for something so small. I think I'll be using it way more than my Hyundai for blasting out dirt for the interior. It will save me a lot of time
This is the one thing I havent got yet. Seen a lot of them but never decided which to get though this looks good. Iv used my pc blower I use to clean my desktop pc lol. Handy for mirrors etc
It's not essential for everyone but for unit based detailers or any business that's offering a premium instead of a basic wash would definitely benefit from one
@@epicautomotivedetailingI’ve never YET used mine to dry the cars BUT it’s been used as an excellent patio leaf clearer, garage floor cleaner and a kitchen floor drier lol. Car cleaning to follow haha
I actually have the same blower, albeit from another brand. It's quality stuff and does the job perfectly. You forgot to mention it can blow hot air as well. At least mine does. I don't really use it that much on my car. But on my motorcycles it's become my go to tool. Especially on older air cooled engines. Ear protection is definitely required.
It would be great to see some cordless equipment for those testing the waters in car detailing, usually things like that arnt as powerful but would be good to see some in action for sure. Another great video Dave.
You’re very welcome I’m very choosy about who I watch and always found you to be more honest that some others on here, I’m also concerned that a good few videos that I’ve liked in the past didn’t show and I had to re like, strange lol😂
I've used the Bruhl Dryers for years! I started with the single Turbine Dryer, and then a couple of years later, I gave it to my son, and I upgraded to the Twin Turbine Dryer. I cannot fault them in the slightest! Please consider checking them out and / or comparing them?
The blo Air GT is one mega powerful machine BUT what let's it down is the lack of spares availability or a dedicated manufacturer website. I bought one used and within weeks the hose had holes in it. You can buy spare hoses but attaching them is a nightmare.
We have a video coming soon on various cordless blowers, got a few more to order from Amazon, temu etc before video comes out so probably towards autumn time
@epicautomotivedetailing cool. I use the Bosch ALB 18 LI because i have many batteries from my other bosch devices, and i 3d print exhausts if needed :)
What kind? I said in the video that I made a video few years saying all let dryers are the same but I was so wrong. Yes things like leaf blowers all blow air but the actual difference in force is quite vast, ego make cordless blowers which is something I'm bringing to the channel soon so once I get enough tools I'll do an actual comparison 👌
@@epicautomotivedetailing Yeah. I use the most powerful one that EGO makes. Also have the fan and light so the battery gets to be used across all three. It's nice to be cordless.
I've got no access to mains power where I wash my car, are there any battery powered options? I have quite a few Ryobi 18V batteries so using those would be an advantage.
Hello Chris yes I have a video coming out on the best option but it's costing a bit to source the right tools to film but hopefully next month I'll have something interesting
You still need towels, car dryers won't solve every problem. For businesses I'd recommend using a towel in conjunction with a dryer. So dryers key attributes would be for things like door shuts, wheels, lights etc.
Coming out in a video next week. Something similar is a foam sealant. I recently made a video with a dramatic thumbnail saying stop waxing your car lol. It covers everything you need
@@epicautomotivedetailing those switches are dodgy as mine has recently started playing up. I suggest turning the dial right the way down when switching it on and then slowly ramping it up because it doesn’t have a slow start motor and I’m not sure if that will make the resistor last a bit longer?
The unfortunate aspect of opinions on youtube is that when you change your opinion in one video, your older videos are still being recommended and watched and viewers will need to watch all of them to find the most recent state
£170 to blow dry your car is a lot of money. Is it really worth bothering, I’ve used a kids soft leather wiper for years cost me £3.50 and is still fine after all these years.
A good video for the product. The only thing I would not do is use such an item for blowing inside a car. To me that is just blasting the dust everywhere know matter how much you direct it at certain spot. Then again I’m a fussy amateur detailer and by that I mean I clean my car myself. I don’t even allow the garage to clean my car when serviced even though they claim they provide a “free” car wash service. In my experience this claimed “free” service is generally outsourced to mobile cleaning companies who do a rush job because time is money or workers who seemingly move the dirt around. Anyway I digress, on the subject of car dryers, I would comment that years ago before I was aware of car dryers, I bought a Bosch leaf blower dedicated for only car drying. I find this works perfectly well and is also quite powerful. I also have an air compressor with a long lead which is far more powerful and is excellent for those areas that are water traps.
Maybe a nice bit of kit but at that price, I simply couldn't even consider it. I couldn't justify that price tag based on the price of other options avaialble.
Totally understand that, that's why I wanted to put a mix of other tools in the video. Although the difference is vast in terms of performance you can always get by with less expensive products in life
Yeah its definitely not for everyone and every situation. I think for Studio based detailers is essential. For people on the go the idea of a cordless blower could be a good alternative
@epicautomotivedetailing I'm sat wondering if your fave discount site, Temu , would do one? I got their little 3" polisher when it was about 30 quid and it's OK. Not brilliant but OK. Maybe worth me looking on there OR my local charity shops for leaf blowers to see if they could work. But again I'd maybe still use my Sam's drying towels
It takes a minute or two to plug in and saves so much time on drying, especially on the awkward bits, use it every single time…… absolute game changer 👍🏻
@adrianwynne4236 it's space to store it though Adrian and I do seriously think I'd think fudge it and not use it. I get what you are saying I'd not get use from it to warrant the outlay
Yeah it is, I've already made a video on alternative machines such as the cheap £50 pet dryer, the Hyundai wet vac with blower function and an air compressor and microfiber towels so plenty of other options out there for all budgets
Let me explain why this comment gets on my nerves so maybe you can understand how this works because I am one of the very few honest ones out there within this industry so maybe you should read this to get a better understanding. My job is to feature everything that's trending within the detailing industry, Doesn't matter if its Business related content, News, Products or tips & Tricks.

On this occasion I do (not) get paid any affiliate money if people use the code to save them money.

The only difference with me is I don't often go public about giving away items for free because I get bombarded with messages all the time. So now you know what I do with these items let me break down some simple costings of running such a channel: my unit costs X amount per month along with rates, electricity, wifi etc. £1500+ camera, monthly fees on software to create content, the days spent designing thumbnails, editing, It all adds up. and comes out of my bank. This all requires skill, I had to invest my own money & time every day and night. That's why I have a following of wonderful people who appreciate what I do. So what do I do now? Do I just only film products that I buy and make a heavy financial loss? No. To keep the channel running I have to think logically and mix content with products purchased and products (Borrowed for short term!) I even tick the paid promotion box because UK law states without proof of purchasing something being mentioned in a video I would be liable. So to answer your question. No i'm not selling these, no i'm not getting paid for this video but what I am doing is being one of the very few detailing channels to actually tick the legal disclaimer under paid promotion because it was received without any financial transaction. If you honestly think all the other detailing influencers whether its on Instagram or UA-cam are playing fairly by the book then you are very mistaken. As with all of my videos which you can check, if its been received without me paying then I have to legally put PAID PROMOTION regardless of whether I get paid any money to feature a video on my channel. So Please all I ask is you spend a little timing thinking about how this all works before presuming everyone is cashing in on such a low earning industry.
@@epicautomotivedetailing hi thanks for your reply. I must apologise first as I didn’t expect or mean to provoke such a reaction. Maybe I didn’t phrase my comment correctly - I was only asking whether you had received the blower either from the company and asked to review it or whether you had just obtained it, and then reviewed it. Some tubers who review products start with a statement outlining how they have no links or ties with the products and purely just reviewed it .. versus being sent it from the manufacturer to review and in someone ways, advertise it. Personally I don’t mind either way, I just like to know. I’d like to think your audience is intelligent enough to make their own decisions not just based on one video I subscribe to your channel and I’ve bought things based on your reviews, and I enjoy and rate your content, so again am sorry if my comment has touched a nerve, that wasn’t my intention.

The blo Air GT is one mega powerful machine BUT what let's it down is the lack of spares availability or a dedicated manufacturer website. I bought one used and within weeks the hose had holes in it. You can buy spare hoses but attaching them is a nightmare.
