Lookie what I found in my radiator! Just doing normal vacuuming out of dead leaves and such..... it was the such that freaked me out.

That's your car's grandfather. Be sure to put it back and let it rest in peace.

 

Taste like chicken.











This is where the MasterBlaster gets the win. Twice before each car wash; once when everything is dry, and again after the car is washed. Lot's of stuff comes flying out. Easy peasy.

 

That’s funny. We have a ton of little lizards around here (5-lined skinks, to be precise). I have found a couple mummified skinks in my radiators over the years.

The most common recognizable item I find in there are cigarette butts.

 

Whoa. Thanks for sharing. I need to do this over the winter on mine because lord knows what's in there... Assume you aren't running grilles in there Bruce?

 

Are you just using compressed air to blow yours out or is the masterblaster something else?

This forum spends too much of my money. 8hp!! Wow.

 

A 20 amp line really helps. It will run all day long on 15...........as long as it's alone.

 

Really, everyone should be running screens on the fronts of their cars to keep all this stuff out of those compartments. The amount of leaves, pine needles, cigarette butts, etc that I pull off my screens is remarkable.

 

This. Forum. Is. A. License. For. Spending. Money.

Love this, great link @LexVan. I just wish it also vacuumed, would help justify(?) to, you know...

Thx!

/\ Hi Bob. It's not a vacuum.

I deprived myself of the MasterBlaster for many years. Then I finally bought one when Phil at Detailers Domain did a Christmas sale; 25% off and free shipping. Best $300-ish dollars I've ever spent on myself and car care tools.

 

Totally understood -- I just wish it was also a vacuum to try to, ahem, "rationalize" the purchase with 'others'...

Definitely want, and may get if there's an after-Christmas sale.

Thanks for the testimonial...sounds awesome.

Thanks @Ironman88 -- hopefully it does the trick. Love the concept.
