What do you think of this Air Compressor
Ok, so I'm getting frustrated with rusting rotors after a wash.... hating the water that drips from the mirror and some of the side molding/impact strips, and dispise the dirty brake dust/dirt/crap hidden behind the spokes of multi-peice wheels...
so, i figure, a blast of high pressure air would do good to clean and fix those problems...
I don't need it for anything heavy duty, just basic duties as mentioned above... and maybe adding air in my tires...

I thought about the same thing, however I believe a electric blower is a better option. Air compressor lines can get water in them etc and can actually just respray water onto your finish.

thats something i read about too...
so, if an electric blower, what do you recommend?
i think i would use the air compressor while still drying the car, just to get the bulk of the trapped water out of the crevices...

I use an Air Compressor all the time to blow water from crevices when I wash my car. I have a dryer installed however in line with the air coming from the compressor that removes any water from the line/air.

Oh come on!!!! If this is for your personal use to wash your car twice a week at most why dont you shamy it and then go for a quick fast drive with tons of braking and then shamy the car again and it solves all your problems
