Smile New way to dry your car !!

This is ether going to be super cool or I just waisted $250.00 I will have it Monday or Tuesday 7th or the 8th

The Portable Metro Vac N' Blo is one of our most popular vacuums. Now you can enjoy 4.0 peak horsepower and the convenience of dual functions in a wall-mount unit with an extra long, flexible hose. The 24 ft. hose potentially reaches around large vehicles for drying and vacuuming, out to the driveway to blow leaves or dry your vehicle, and even into the house!

Here is a video of how it drys a car

I will do a full review after I get it .
Hey let me know if you have used one of these I know we have some Detailer out there,
here is why you don want a leaf blower or a compressor

I have this exact one. with the 20ft hose and all of the accessories to it. Best vacuum ive owned and having a 20ft hose makes cleaning so nice since you dont have to drag the vac around.

now on you point... on a waxed car it works good. on a non waxed car not so much. I usually will use the flooding method/sheeting method with the hose to dry most of the car and follow with a high quality microfiber waffle weave towel. then I use this to dry all of the crevices of the car which it works fantastic at.

Either way you use it it will impress you im almost for sure.. it did me

cool man I am super happy I did not just waste money I figured that at least I was going to get a good Vac . what I liked best about this was to get the water out from behind the mirrors, tail lights ,the rims ,ect you know all the stubborn spots . If you have any other tips feel free to share please I am allways looking to speed up my detailing and with a white car I do it once a week in the summer .

Hi Keith,
I did not vote, and did not want say it was a good or bad investment or not until I read your review...., or did more research...
It was good to read Jaws review...

To me it's expensive, but I already have a shop vac & I use my leaf blower to blow `off my ride....LOL..From your posted vid, I think my blower has more power.....I did put a soft rubber on the outlet of my blower so that I don't scratch the paint (or get a disease: ) LOL

Look 4ward to your review b-4 I Vote in the poll : )
Can you return it `if it does not live up to your expectations ?

Good Luck & thanks for sharing for our member's to see & state their opinions...

I used something like that on my Harley. But on a full size car???? I use my air compressor for around the Tail lights, mirrors and Wheels. I turn down the pressure and go at it. Works great for me...On both cars

I think it will work good
Space I thought about using my leaf blower to dry my car too but I'm sure my neighbors already think I'm weird enough for washing it every other day.
