The right choice for you

We'll help you choose.


01 | Why use a dry blower

We say this often, but once you've tried one you can't live without it.

Do you really need one? If you put time and energy into foaming, 3-bucket method, invested in a super soft and safe wash glove, why risk wax scratches at the end of your delivered work?

Contact-free drying with no chance of scratches or streaks left by a damp or dirty cloth.

Quick and easy to dry details - especially your rims and tyres, saving time and effort.

Cracks and crevices such as door handles, grilles and mirrors are completely de-watered so that water does not keep spilling out as soon as you start driving.

Wheels and tyres - no matter how complex they are and even around the wheel bolts, no water will be left behind. So your tyres are perfectly prepared for the application of tyre dressing.

Discover all the steps leading to the perfect result in our popular Weekly Wash.


02 | So, why BLO?

There are several dry blowers available, why choose this blue canister?

Ergonomics & design

These machines were designed specifically for detailers.

Flexible, soft plastic hose - for easy storage and incredibly flexible.

Soft rubber nozzle that does not scratch.

Dual action handle on the small machine that reduces pressure on the wrist while blowing lower panels dry.

All the above and more make car maintenance so much more enjoyable.


Filtered air and flow rate

We tested them all and for a plug-in-and-go machine with no need for a compressor, these deliver the best flow rate for blowing a car dry.

Variable flow rate on each unit, which allows you to adjust the power to the job, e.g. doorways can be tackled gently enough such that you don't blow water into the car.

Finely filtered air, free of dirt or dust. Hard to match any dry blower but very important for scratch-free drying.


Price/quality

BLO was designed when we saw a huge gap in the market to offer this level of machine at today's pricing.

So without having to raid your piggy bank, for a very competitive price, you get the same quality features as the more expensive alternatives at BLO.

Not only are they quality products, moreover, all parts are available separately, should anything wear out over time.​

03 | Our 3 machines

Each with its own purpose, design and benefits.

BLO AIR-S

Designed for smaller tasks such as grilles, crevices and cracks that you can't easily reach with a drying cloth.

Too small to dry a whole car, but the ideal power for (motor) bikes

Double action handle to reduce strain on your back when drying lower panels.

2 speeds that allow you to adjust the power to the job.

 

BLO AIR-RS

The perfect all-round machine, whatever the job to be performed. Often used in our studio and recommended for everyone: the RS is exactly what you need.

Perfect power & flow for any job - this machine allows you to dry the whole car.The perfect all-round machine, whatever the job to be performed. Often used in our studio and recommended for everyone: the RS is exactly what you need.

Flexible 5-metre hose with a comfortable foam handle.

Additional heating element for hot air.


BLO AIR-GT

The GT is the machine of choice for those who want to invest in comfort and extra power. 

Longer 8-metre hose for more freedom of movement.

Less noise with dual motors compared to 1 large motor - this also means no heating element is needed as the dual motors heat the air on their own.

On wheels so the machine follows you everywhere.

Pro Tip: the S solves all your traditional drying problems. The RS and GT offer a completely non-contact drying process.

04 | Our 3 working methods

& get down to business in a good way.

Classic working method

Dry the car quickly with a microfibre drying towel, from top to bottom.

Blow dry the details - Don't chase every drop of water.

Finish with a Quick Detailer and cloth to soak up all water residue.

Quick reverse drying

Blow dry the edges and details so that the water is collected in the centre of the panels.

Finish with a Quick Detailer and drying cloth to soak up the collected water.

The quick detailer removes residual water, eliminates the risk of water spots and adds a light layer of protection.

Contactless drying

Only for the RS & GT.

Blow everything dry, from top to bottom.

To avoid blowing the same water droplets over the panels all the time, you can use a drying mitt.

Last but not least, quick detail as you normally do - here are our quick detailing tips.

Pro Tip: If your car doesn't have paint protection, use GYEON WetCoat which makes the droplets fly off the panels during the drying process.
