Buy one of those instead. Cheaper and work far better.

Greenworks Electric Blower - $30 @ AMZN

This is the first blower I've bought and it does the job. You'll need an extension cord to go along with it. The plug is located in the back of the handle and recessed, so make sure you don't have an angled outlet on your cord.

A couple tips:
-if you have any spare screen material, attach this to the intake to prevent sucking anything in (I sucked in a fly once and spewed fly bits all over my clean paint)
-tie the cord in a knot around the handle to prevent unplugging the extension cord

I'm fairly new, myself. I've driven clunkers most of my life. Spent about five years downtown where I didn't have a car. Now I'm back in suburbia, so I've got a brand new GTI, and it's the first one I've ever cared to take good care of. Here's what I started with:

• Meguiar's D101 APC - the D103 APC+ has apparently been discontinued.
  
• Two Chemical Guys detailing bucket kits, which each have a bucket, lid, grit guard, 16oz citrus wash, and some washing pad thing I didn't really want.
  
• Two-pack of Rag Company Dry Me a River towels
  
• Five-pack of Rag Company detailing towels
  
• Bottle of Stoner Invisible Glass
  
• Two-pack of Griot's Garage microfiber wash mitts
  
• A Nanoskin wash mitt
  
• 32oz Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax - for use as a quick detailer and easy maintenance washing.
  
• Lexol leather care kit
  
• Thee-pack of spray bottles
  
• A microfiber window towel
  
• A cheap electric blower
  
• 16oz Chemical Guys Jetseal
  
• Microfiber applicators
  
  I should have picked up some of Chemical Guys' citrus wash and clear, too, to help deal with a winter's worth of grime left by terrible touchless car washes. I've also got a tire brush, hand vacuum, and some assorted cheap microfiber towels around already.
  
  Your kit looks a lot more cost-effective, though. Throw in some cheap buckets, grit guards, wash mitts, and drying towel, and an extra stack of cheap microfibers and you're still under $100 for practically everything you would need for a proper two-bucket wash and wax.

Power off. Go to a ventilated area. Secure all the fans with tape, blow them hard with something like this

Remove the tape, check all the connector are inside the things. Plugin in, power on.

End.

Total time per rig, around 10 min or less.

Need suggestions for a blower

My job gave me a $50 gift cord a while back, so I'll be using that to help pay for it.

So far I'm looking at these:

Thanks in advance

I use this cheap one from amazon, works good for the price

Hi all, my goal is to construct a fluid bed roaster capable of roasting a half-pound of coffee per go.

For the motor, I'm looking at this electric leaf blower, and for the heating element, I'm looking to dissect this heat gun.

I'll use a pyrex baking tube, and a cocktail shaker to cap it off at the base. And then some machining magic to couple it to the mounting pipe.

Does it seem like this will get hot enough to roast a 1/2 pound?

I'm trying to upgrade from my current popper setup which can roast a max of 60 grams at a time (and that's with me constantly agitating with a shish kabob stick).

Edit: One possible improvement could be increasing the wattage of the heater to 2000W. Does anyone have a recommendation for a really cheap blower (or just the element itself)? Or would this water heater element work?

If I reclaim the air from the exhaust back into the pump, would this allow a 1500W heater to work?

Would you give $33.79?

Thanks for the advice.

I plan on getting 3 buckets tonight and getting a blower, there's one on Amazon, for $25 but I'll check home depot first, maybe Costco as well.

There's a Costco nearby, I did a google search, there these right?


> Also, if you really want to care for your car, take into account how much time you will be spending on this. If you are just getting into it and don't mind spending hours a week (or month if you are slightly less OCD) pampering your car, you may want to seriously consider getting the work done by a professional. Many of them can be mobile, or will pickup and deliver to your work. Something to consider.

I have no problem washing it myself, it feels like I'm suppose to be looking after my car. I'm thinking about washing it once per week. There's a good feeling, that I'm getting, who knows this might be a new hobby for me.
