I have just purchased and used for the first time a blo-air RS. Wow, what a big difference it makes to the pleasure of detailing my F-Type to a spotless shine!

I already use a ‘minimal touch’ washing technique using the Autoglym Polar snowfoam range (Polar Blast, Polar Wash, Polar Seal) only gently agitating the Polar Wash stage with a microfibre wash mitt, as recommended by Autoglym in their Polar series ‘how to use’ tutorials on YouTube.

The Blo-Air dries the car to absolute perfection without touching it and the best bit is that it blasts out the water that’s hiding in the gaps between panels, lights, trim, wing mirrors, etc so there are no water drip marks.

The less the car is touched during detailing, the better, reducing the risk of introducing swirl marks to the finish.
 
I am always amazed at how much water I blow out around the lug nuts when I dry mine after a wash. I use a Blaster Sidekick to dry mine.
 
That's a good way to make the neighbours hate something else other than the F-type's cold starts in the morning 😂

I've been seriously into detailing for about 10 years and tested lots of products and processes. If you like looking after the car regularly, I'd recommend shifting to rinseless washing as it uses a lot less water, it's arguably the safest method to contact clean a not so dirty and well protected paintwork and requires little equipment (a pump sprayer, a bucket, a grit guard, a dedicated sponge and 2 or 3 MF towels per wash).
 
I use 'Spotless Water', around £1 for maybe 40 litres or so, sprayed through a camping shower (5L maybe), followed by the dog blower which is very similar to the above photo, but pink!
