1 Why use a blow dryer?

We say this a lot, but once you start you really will never go back.

Is it really necessary? If you've put the work in to foam, use 3 buckets, invest in soft safe mitts, why wouldn't you finish the job properly and not risk scratching your paint right as you're at the end!

Touchless drying without marring or streaks left behind by a damp or dirty towel, saving your paint from towel-drying scratches.

Fast & easy to dry your details - especially your wheels & tyres, saving a lot of time and effort.

Cracks & creavaces like door handles, grills and mirrors are fully cleared of water so they don't start leaking as soon as you drive away.

Wheels & tyres - no matter how complex they are, even around your lug nuts, will be completely and easily freed of water. This preps your tyres perfectly for tyre dressings - no sling in sight.

2 So, why BLO?

There are lots of dryers out there, why go blue?

Ergonomics & design

These machines have been designed with detailers in mind.

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

Soft rubber tip that won't scratch.

Double-action handle on the small machine, lowering wrist stress when working low down.

Just to name a few - all of these elements make your car care experience better.

Clean air & flow rate

We've tried them all, and for a plug-in-and-go machine with no compressor needed, this is the best flow rate for car drying.

Flow rate is variable on every device, allowing you to be as powerful or delicate as you need to be - for example, door openings can be dried without creating chaos inside your car.

Finely filtered air, free of debris, dust & dirt. This can't be expected from all blowers, and is an absolute must for scratch-free car drying.

Price / quality

BLO was created when we saw a huge gap in the market for this level of machine at this price point.

So, without breaking the bank, in fact remaining very low in the market, we created BLO to offer all of the innovation and features of the bigger players in a compact, budget-friendly package.

Not only are these reliable tools, but all parts are available separately, should anything wear out over time.

3 Our 3 machines

Each with it's own purpose, design and advantages.

BLO AIR-S

Designed to cover the finishing touches - grills, gaps and details you may not be able to reach with a drying towel.

Too small to do a whole car, but perfect power in your hands for details - or bikes & motorbikes.

Double action handle to ease back strain when drying low areas by using it upside down.

2 speeds so you can choose the right power for the job.

 

BLO AIR-RS

The perfect all-round machine for you, no matter the job. Used in our studio and recommended to all: the RS it exactly what you need.

Perfect power & air flow for any job - you can dry the whole car with this one machine.

Flexible 5 metre hose with a comfortable foam grip.

Extra heating element for warm air.

BLO AIR-GT

The GT is a treat for anyone willing to invest in comfort and that extra power.

Longer 8-metre hose to do more from one position.

Less noise with its powerful twin machines instead of 1 big one (still not quiet) - this also means you don't need the heating element as the twin engines warm the air on their own.

On wheels as standard to follow you around the car.

Pro Tip: the S solves your towel-drying problem of post-wash water streaks. The RS allows you to do full touchless drying.

Speed things up with a protective foam

4 3 ways to work

& get you started in the right way.

Classic technique

Dry the car quickly with a microfibre towel, working top to bottom and removing the majority of the water.

Blow the details dry with any of the machines - don't chase every drop.

Finish up with a quick detailer and buffing towel to pick up any remaining water drops.

Quick reverse drying

Blow dry the edges and details first so the water is gathered in the center of the panels.

Finish up with a quick detailer and drying towel to smoothly pick up the gathered water.

The quick detailer removes the last water drops, leaving no chance of potential water spots, and adds a light layer of gloss.

Touchless drying

Only for the RS & GT.

Blow everything dry, starting at the top and clearing each panel - and every detail - completely as you work your way down.

To make sure you don't spend hours blowing the same bits of water all over the car, try blowing into a drying mitt.

Last but not least, quick detail like in all other techniques - here are our quick detailing tips.

Pro Tip: If there's no protection on your car, use a drying aid like GYEON WetCoat to vastly speed things up, as the water will really fly away from your BLO dryer.

5 Choosing the one for you

Build it straight into your garage setup.

Get into the details

Use the BLO S to speed your way through the details like grills, panel gaps, mirrors - with no more frustrating drips that ruin your otherwise perfect finish

Wheels & tyres are a breeze, saving huge amounts of time.

All of this, for an incredibly low price - everyone should have one.

The BLO S's 1.5 HP engine also makes light work of bikes & motorbikes.

Want to start touchless drying?

Worried about wash swirls? Don't let the drying towel touch the paint, simply blow the whole car dry with this powerful, compact machine.

The right power, a decent hose length, and the same functions as its big brother at a lower price.

Extra comfort

If you're looking for a little luxury - the wheels, extra twin-engine power & a longer 8-metre hose make the BLO GT something of a luxury version compared to it's smaller brother.
