He bought me an air blaster sidekick. Tried I out on various guests (more to my amusement than theirs!).

Roll on some nice weather.

Great little piece of kit. With a bit of practice, I’ve found it’s powerful to dry pretty much all the water off my car when I’ve washed it; a drying towel deals with any remaining water droplets.

The Sidekick is particularly good at dealing with all those water traps:- door mirror housings, grille, tailgate handle, around the light clusters, wheels. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with it.

Thanks chaps, although the current forecast is pissing down with a touch of stark bollock freezing.

He brought me an OBDeleven - cleared a couple of stored fault codes and started a bit of research for turning features on etc.

How are you finding it? For the money it really is a great bit of kit as long as you don't jump in without doing some research first.

You won’t regret it 👍 it was a god send on my sensitive Lapiz Blue paintwork when I hadn’t got the time to dry it manually. Also they are fantastic as others have said at blasting away the annoying dribbles from door mirrors, lights, bumpers etc 😁

To be honest, not done much ore than connect it and clear codes. I'll be giving it a proper blast later, hopefully I'll not screw it up lol.

Just make sure you back up before you change stuff. That way if you do feck it up you can revert back.
