For drying bikes, nothing beats a bikini girl with a bath towel!

Works for me, when she's done with yours could you please send her over to do mine?

 

I use a leaf blower just because I have one hanging on the wall 10 feet from the bike. I suppose I could buy a Blaster but the leaf blower works good enough I guess.


I've never been happy with S100. After three washes I gave the bottle away. I know a lotta people swear by it but it left my bike with a wicked dull film and I always had to wipe the entire bike down inch by inch afterwards.

 

Thanks for all the input gang. I went out and bought a blaster yesterday and tried it out last night. I will have to say that it works excellent. One advantge I can see over the leafblower (which I tried) is that you can blast the air in all the nooks an crannies of the bike, even underneath because you can bend the hose where you want, plus the attachements. I was shocked at how much water was trapped in various parts of the bike.

Anyway it is a little pricey, but gets 2 [sm=smiley20.gif]from me.

 

No Brainer. Blaster. My son's own and operate a detail shop in Latonia KY mostly cars and trucks but they do some bikes. I tried their Blaster and it cut wash and wax time from two hours to about thirty minutes. Unlike leaf blowers or shop vacs it blows warm air with no particulates. Much rather be riding instead of drying.

 

If I wash my bike and it's 85 degrees out, do I really need heated air?

 

Need-no. Want-yes. The heated air is the key to drying it fast. Here in the midwest it is typically 85* and 60%+ humidity just blowing it won't dry it off. The heat actually dries the bike off.
