Planning to buy corded air blower for drying after car wash & occasional removing dust... hindi ba bitin 530w or 600w dapat?

600w (2899ph) - Makita UB112 Dust Blower 4.1 m3/min ( 6W ) with VARIANTS | Lazada PH

Matibay ba ang MT SERIES?

530w (1848ph) - Makita M4M Blower ( 53W ) with VARIANTS | Lazada PH

600w (2389ph) - [URL="https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/makita-m4000m-blower-600w-i106486604-s107204709.html?spm=a2o4l.10450891.0.0.466d31delol RVv&search=store&mp=3[/URL]

I bought this one:



Since it's not on sale, it's "expensive" right now.

The one you posted surely is better than the one I have. However, I won't be bothered if it breaks too early for the price I paid.

I’ve been using a blower for my car for a few years now. I bought it in True Value, matibay naman. Handy in blowing water out of crevices & prevents hard water stains. Pero I was so glad I had it when Taal erupted. My car was covered in ash & by experience from the Pinatubo eruption, if I had left it overnight or got it wet, moght have corroded the paint & body or hardened into plaster. I blew it all off the moment I got home & power washed the car in the morning. No scratches.

The one I posted has over 4000 sales! And I suspect that blowers we have came from the same manufacturer and was just rebranded.

I have used it also for drying my fat lab.

This is how i usually clean my car diko din alam kung tama yung method ko pero gusto ko talaga DIY pag cleaning ng sasakyan kasi pag carwash sa labas madalas punas lang ng punas kaya nagkaka swirl marks.

First Remove all the mattings inside,
Vacuum the car from dash to carpet, using a soft bristle detailer brush para sa mga crevices like aircon vents.
I use 3 bucket, 1 is for rinse, 1 is for shampoo, 1 for mags and tires, iba kasi yung grime ng gulong kaya sperado gamit ko. all have the grit guard para stay sa baba yung dumi and hindi na mapahid sa paint which usually causes the swirl marks.
Pre-rinse the mags and tire
clean mags and tires (inuuna ko ito para pag tapos na yung buong car tuloy tuloy yung drying)
Pre-rinse the car body, sa part na to, i rinse the car well to remove as much dirt as i can. By the way i use a Karcher Power washer K3
Spray the car with foam canon (Meguiar's Foam Canon and Gold Class for snow foam, matipid naman like 100ml for 1 liter of foam canon mixture, pero i usually do 100ml to 600ML of water).
I use soft bristle brush for the car logo, grills, plastic trim, door handles, window edge and gas door.
Then pupunasan kona yung car with my personal mix ng car shampoo and 2 bucket method, 1 for rinsing the microfiber and the other is where the shampoo and water mixture is.
Syempre yung pag punas single motion hind pa ikot ikot para maka iwas pa lalo sa swirl mark.
Drying:
I use a leaf blower to aid me drying the car, and hindi ko kinakalimutan yung mga nasa door, open each door then with a microfiber towel and leaf blower pinapa tuyo ko yung mga singit singit.
I use Rain X 2 in 1 glass cleaner + rain repellent.
I use Aerospace 303 for my dash and plastic trims, gusto ko to kasi hindi siya ma oil, and it protects it from UV light for up to 6months.
For my tire dressing i find the one from Rivers (Lazada) to be okay, hindi rin siya glossy finish, parang natural new rubber lang.

Pero once i a while dinadala ko mga sasakyan ko sa shell for under wash, wala kasi akong lifter to perform it properly.
