Looking for something small and effective for blowing out pads, drying off engines, etc. The jobs for a part time detailer.

I have one similar to this and it works fine. The only thing is the smaller tank you get, the more times you`ll have to refill it.

Looks good, but I`d go with one from costco. Their return policy is amazing for when it will eventual fail.

Looks like a good one.

But for the price, you`re better off using a brush for the pads and a $20 electric leaf blower for engine/drying.

I have this unit. It will run constantly if you`re blowing out crevices and pads, but is perfect if you need to take it mobile.

I bought a larger reconditioned (with warranty) compressor that was about that price but 6 times the size. Can`t tell it isn`t new. Look at reconditioned stuff. Lots of places will sell them locally.

Should work just fine for you, but there might be better options if you ever plan to use it for other things.
