Metrovac SK-1 Air Force Blaster Sidekick - Pocket Sized Typhoon Powered Air Dryer

[@walterhagans1465]

I love watching Rick explain things. He's such an awesome choice to have as the face of Rally Sport Direct! He is why I buy stuff 😁😄

[@rallysportdirect]

Hahaha thank you!!!!!! I always feel super out of place on KZbin with all the cool "car dudes" but reading this makes me want to keep on doing it and do better. Thank you again!!! Rick

How practical would it be to dual wield this

[@SilveryFoxster]

To shift surface water efficiently, the car ideally needs a good coating of wax or similar protectant which allows the water to sheet. The Sidekick is great for removing water from nooks and crannies but not drying a whole car, something bigger would be better.

[@rallysportdirect]

Oh for sure. Doing a whole care with this would be ultra tedious. Possible I'm sure, but I would not want to do it. I do love having it around though, I always find little things that it just works perfectly for. :) Thanks, Rick

Even my 800cfm 135mph worx leaf blower doesnt do the job unless its freshly applied sealant/wax or ceramic coated and even then there are left over water on some places that you have to go back and get. Sidekick paired with drying towel and drying aid seems perfect.

Hi, Thanks for putting this review. Does it blow hot air too?

[@Menace_sti]

Use it all the time and its so handy

[@jasonwalsh9211]

I think the power cord is too short...risk of the plug touching the bodywork

[@puffy514]

Would of been nice if it came with a three foot hose.. Save you from waving that can around your paint!! Hold the can in one hand, dry with the other.. Also keeps that cord a bit further away from the car.. Less chance of marring the paint.

The Datavac is less powerful than this. The intended use is for computers obviously,but apart from accesories and longer cord its the same as the Sidekick. I own the Sidekick and a friend of mine own the Datavac. Its basicly the same product and can be used for the same purposes. Although it really dont work SUPERB on drying cars. On MCs its good.

[@JPTinioMedia]

This would be perfect on a car treated with ceramic coating other then that, seems not worth it.

Pretty sweet for blowing off dirty r/c cars.

[@rickkienzlen]
