Full exterior all door shunts, boot shunt, alloy wheels and the worst offender the front grill and front bumper air intakes trust me you can spend 45 mins easily getting it dry, a car blower 15 mins and no elbow grease required or washing drying towels which l hate with a passion, and l forgot drying the tyres which is a pain

£180 ain't much if it saves me time and most of effort

Ps Too many Drama Queens on here lol

I'm in for a group buy if we can organise one. Definitely. Judging by this grumpy lot though we might struggle for numbers, lol. Thought you were supposed to be the grumpy yin! Does x2 count as a group buy? Lol. Messaged Imran at In2Detailing anyway to see if he's planning to stock/what it would take (will follow up with a phone call if I don't hear back from him).

That's a bare unit, once you've added a decent 5ah battery and charger that price will triple. Prefer the idea of a dedicated car drier than a leaf blower personally. The Flex doesn't strike me as crackers money (as a package including battery and charger) compared to other dedicated car dryers out there. Would get used twice a week (on 2 cars, + occasionally when I look after ma Mam's) 52 weeks a year, so cost per usage wise, it soon starts to make sense for me. Looks kinda fun to use as well :blush:

THIS. But will be less than £180 after a good discount code is used. And filler cap housing, and roof rails (on mine), and wheel barrels (as well as bolts and spokes), and rubber mats (outside the car after I've taken them out and washed them, those beggers hold water and are right pain to dry off and put back in), and those annoying drips that keep going for hours after you've finished from wing mirrors and other nooks and crannies you can't actually get to with a drying towel.
Hadn't even considered the ball-ache/cost/time of washing/drying towels afterwards - even more sold now :footy:

I might be thinking too hard about this. But wouldn’t a blower throwing at at over 160mph at our cars damage seals or anything ???
