Those blowers have some serious kick Maz from Garage therapy owns the same model I believe there brilliant bits of kit but your 100% right on a protected car there very quick but non protected a lot slower
Cheers Paul and hope your well. Yes a bit disappointed on the car initially but after we applied the ceramic infused QD it was a game changer and slightly arousing lol.
Great review matey, having used a dryer for a while now, the ease and effectiveness of the drying process comes down to how well protected the vehicle is. I find using AG Polar seal makes drying a lot easier. Albeit as you mentioned it’s time intensive, but a lot safer for the car.
Cheers Sean. Totally agree. Disappointed with the performance on clean paint but very impressed with the performance on a coated vehicle. I suppose it adds weight to us keeping our car protected. Cheers.
Very good review and agree as my car is very well protected so will be easier to dry a car in full and obviously safer, I’ll also find this method of drying more therapeutic. I’ll certainly get this machine when my current dryer packs up.
Roberto, many thanks. Your right it's very therapeutic to use. All the best.
Thank you for this video. I've just ordered one. We'll see !
Cheers buddy. They are a great bit of kit. Mine is still going strong with no issues.
Thanks for the very thorough and also honest test. Very interesting to see the difference between a flat paint without any wax or coating, and the coated one. I am what you would call a car enthusiast. My cars is always protected, either by wax or ceramic coating. I think this would be perfect in my garage😍 Thanks again!
Thank you. The blower is very effective on a coated car without doubt. On an unprotected car not so much but great for blowing out wing mirrors and around with dogs and light clusters etc.
I keep my vehicles coated with a hydrophobic coating. I've been researching this brand Thanks for the honesty and review
Cheers Dan. Yes the test clearly shows the benefit of having some protection on your car.
This is something I'm considering in investing in as I'm fed up of keep going around after I've dried a car wiping the drips from mirrors etc. The worst point for collection of water on my BMW 7 series is the boot. Thank you for sharing the video I look forward to seeing some more.
Cheers Simon. I have to admit I'm starting to like the blower. Although better suited for coated cars, I am using it regularly after an engine clean, blowing out grills, seals, wheels and wing mirrors. Definitely a useful accessory that you will start to enjoy over time. Looks cool as well lol.
Great video Andy. 👌
Thanks buddy as always.
Superb review. I've just bought one but I haven't used it yet. Car has been waxed with Bilt Hamber Double Speed wax and on its next wash I'll be testing the GT drier. I look forward to the results. Eventually I'll try Polar Seal with its hydrophobic properties to see if the drier performs more efficiently.
Top job and thanks for positive feedback, always appreciated. Feel free to join our Facebook group and post your results and share your experience. Thanks again.
Great review. Answer is simple really, if you protect your car, it’s a fantastic piece of kit. If not, don’t bother and go with the traditional method of using towels. I would find it hard to believe that people buying a £150 drier to blow water off their car isn’t an enthusiast and hasn’t got their vehicle protected in some way. Nevertheless, I’ve purchased one after this video as it looks incredible on protected paintwork. Good job 👍🏼
Cheers buddy and agree with all your comments. Have fun with your blower.
Looks good mate good honest review
Cheers Rab.
An honest review- thanks for sharing.
Many thanks. We try and be honest and fair with all our reviews otherwise they have no real value to potential buyers. Cheers.
Had my Blo Air GT for over 18 months now. It’s not used much during the summer months due to I find it dries the water rather than blow it clear. However from this time of year onwards, it’s used I would say at least 4 out of 5 washes, mainly as it keeps my hands warm.lol. Don’t forget to wear some hearing protection, you catch a panel gap or wheel nut hole just at the wrong angle and it’s deafening! Don’t think I’ve ever used the fan blade attachment I tend to just stick with the jet nozzle.
Cheers Dan. Yes forgot about the other attachment during the review. Totally agree with how you use it. I would suggest I will be using it during the winter as the warm air is a bonus and I would not be as worried about the water drying. Cheers buddy.
Really good video. Seems more suited to a coated vehicle. Could be good for pesky water traps though.
Billy. Yes without a doubt these machines come into their own on coated cars. On a none coated car, they are useful for blowing out door shuts, wing mirrors and around light clusters etc. Thanks for watching.
It's a lot quicker using the dryer if the car is already protected wax sealant etc apart from the q d you used the car didn't look like it had any protection hence the water behaviour at the start good video though 👍
Totally agree buddy. On a coated or protected its a useful bit of kit. On a car with dead paint I would say it's real use is limited to blowing out wing mirrors and water trap areas. Thanks for comment .
towel + the time it takes to clean and hang the towel to dry afterwards
Great for body(on a protected car) , wheels and trim, still need a drying towel for bits me thinks
Agreed buddy. It has its place but not a total replacement for towels. Cheers.
Great honest review mate!
Thanks buddy. Appreciate the positive feedback.
Love my GT....
Blows out the water from nooks and crannies and stops those streaks you get from the mirrors and out of the window trims and lights.....
Hiya Dave. Thanks for comment. I think I should have used the smaller nozzle as part of the test. And agree a great bit of kit to get water out of the leaky parts of the car. Cheers.
@@thecarboutique2467 only use the small nozzle now... and waft it across Seams and joints... sort of blast it out...
And for wheels.... dries the lug nut Wells and the tyres on a damp day ready for dressing
@@dave2166 Agreed. I am doing another product review at the weekend so will give the other nozzle a try. Cheers.
Hi great video Can you tell me when the warm air side of it kicks in how do I know if it’s working properly and not faulty??👍🏻
Hiya Carl. The only control this model has is blower strength. The warmth side comes on automatically irrespective of the blow strength setting. The air warms up pretty quick so you would know within seconds if the heater element is not working. Hope this helps.
@@thecarboutique2467 ok cool thanks for that mate
For a protected car - these are a winner. But definitely not for an unprotected car.
But I doubt an enthusiastic/detailer that is gonna buy this has an unprotected vehicle anyway lol
Totally agree. That comment did make me laugh. Cheers buddy.
You don't Need to have protection to use this! All you Need is a decent rinse aid! On any car with no protection... rinse aid then blow... works as good as a hydrophobic coating .
I agree with the rinse aid suggestion as it will without doubt help the drying process. I would still suggest that it is more suited to a coated car than without coating. Cheers
