What would the advantages be of the MB as opposed to using an air compressor in conjunction with a blow gun?
Great reply Troy!
I probably would have said the same thing but mine hasn`t showed up yet......

Talking about the 20 amp thing. My house is plumbed for a central vac, which I have never installed, but there is a single plug in the garage on one wall plate (rather than the standard 2 per plate) and the outlet is the shape of a circle (see photo). I assume this was put there for the central vac unit. Is this a higher amp outlet?
Love my Metro Master Blaster,
should I also mention I bought it used for $120?
I have had the smaller one with a single motor for several years. I use it everyday at my shop. It was half the price and works very well. It does not need a 20 amp circuit and still has warm air.
The junkman over on youtube has a video abut this very subject. Worth the watch.

Do It Right or Don`t Do It At All!
While it is in an interesting watch it is hardly definitive. There are many far more experienced and knowledgable detailers who have used both a leaf blower and a master blaster, and almost without exception, chose the Master Blaster.
I used a leaf blower for the longest time (and it is certainly a cost-effective approach). However, the option to use filtered air is much better.
We have all seen the sand blasting effect of driving a car on the expressway at 65-80 mph. Over time the finish (particularly the front bumper, mirrors, and lead edge of the hood) will appear to have 1000s of pin holes caused by debris blasting across the finish at speed. Now the effect isn`t noticeable the first time you take your pride-and-joy on the freeway, but it quickly adds up.
Blasting unfiltered air across your paint at 200 mph is, over time, going to sand blast it.
On the flip side if you are a professional detailer, using filtered air is going to help protect the finish of your client`s paint, which is something that will help you stand out from your competition. Additionally, if you are an enthusiast who wants to maintain their vehicle in the best possible condition, the same applies.
Does a leaf blower work? Yes, and it works well. Is it the best option? No, not even close.
As said previously,most that have purchased one, prefer it over the leaf blower. There are other uses for it as well. I call it precision drying unless you add the hose feature to the leaf blower like some have done.

Is the master blaster just a dryer and not a vacuum as well?
