Detailing Air Blower:
A must have for any professional and car enthusiast

Dedicated detailing air blowers can be complex, cumbersome, and incredibly expensive. But you can skip the hype and keep things beautifully simple by borrowing a common tool from an entirely different industry.

Whether you are a driveway hobbyist, a passionate car enthusiast, or someone looking to break into the professional detailing world without breaking the bank, a standard leaf blower is your secret weapon.

It eliminates the need for massive, pricey air compressors and heavy hoses that you have to haul from job to job.

All you need is an extension cord and a standard outlet.

In fact, over my 25-year career running a professional detailing business, I didn't even own an air compressor.

This simple setup was all it took to get the job done.

Detailing on a Shoe-string Budget

Regardless of you being a driveway detailing enthusiast or someone looking to get into the world of professional detailing, a certain reality exists:

• Everyone will have the need for "compressed" air.
• You can go big, or you can go simple and inexpensive.

I have used a common electric leaf blower as my go-to tool ever since the beginning of my professional career and continue to carry a leaf blower like the one recommended just below:

• All you need is electricity and you have instant air pressure.
• Not too big, but big enough.
• Much less expensive than "official" detailing blowers as seen below

Darren's Professional Detailing Tips

Most guys starting out in the business understand the numerous needs and advantages of having compressed or blown air.

While the car detailing industry has their own versions of a detailing air blower, I find that most of them are over-priced and come with limitations as compared to a standard leaf blower.

• Blow car off after washing to prevent water run-off.
  
• Blow dust off car after polishing, or final wipe down if a layer of dust has collected.
• Use to blow excessive trash, debris, and dirt from the inside of car during the detail process.
• Replaces expensive and bulky air compressors, hoses, and attachments.

Darren's Professional Tips:

I get endless calls and e-mails from guys (and gals) from all over the country looking to get into detailing at a professional level. I often find that guys want to go "level 10" and over-spend themselves into debt before they have even made a dime doing detailing.

I am a big fan of keeping it simple and basic until you gain some customers and make a few dollars along the way. Using these electric leaf blowers is a great way to remain "lean and mean":

• I still use one to this day.
• You need the right combination of power versus size.
• It is a more simplistic way to buying and dragging around a heavy compressor, air hoses, etc., in order to have the advantages of blown air.

I hope my "voice of logic" has helped you whether you are a driveway detailer or attempting to get into the business
