Expert Notes

The BLO AIR-S is a hand-held dryer for the detail areas that a towel struggles to reach. BLO rates its single motor at 1.5HP and 21,800 FPM, with warm filtered air up to 25 degrees above ambient and two speed settings, so the gentler setting suits badges, trim and tight gaps. It comes with a choice of 3 nozzles and a 5M power cord, and the handle still grips properly with the dryer flipped over for wheels and lower areas. We see it working well for motorcycle owners, for chasing water from grilles, mirrors and engine bays after a wash, and for quick interior dusting. Pair it with a plush drying towel and a hydrophobic sealant or coating.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Grilles and bumpers
  • Air vents
  • Door mirrors
  • Wheels
  • Engine bays
  • Badges
  • Motorcycles and bikes
  • Interior dusting

Caution: The AIR-S is mains powered: keep the dryer, plug and cord away from standing water and spray, and never aim the airflow at people or animals.

How To Use

Using it

  1. After washing and rinsing, fit the nozzle that suits the area you are drying.
  2. Plug in and start on the lower of the two speed settings.
  3. Hold the ergonomic handle and chase water out of grilles, vents, mirrors and badges.
  4. Flip the dryer upside down to reach lower areas such as wheels and bumpers more easily.
  5. Switch to the higher speed for wheels and larger areas once the delicate parts are done.
  6. Work from the top of the vehicle downwards so dried areas stay dry.

Cleaning and storage

  1. Switch off and unplug before changing nozzles.
  2. Keep the air intake clear and check it regularly for dust or debris.
  3. Wipe the body and nozzles clean and dry after use.
  4. Keep all three nozzles with the dryer so the right one is always to hand.
  5. Coil the power cord loosely without kinks and store everything indoors in a dry place.
  6. Check the cord and plug for damage before each use.

Top Tip: Hold the nozzle slightly angled to the surface so water is pushed off the panel rather than scattered.

Performance Benefits

  • Chases water from grilles and vents
  • Dries motorcycles and bikes
  • Gentle speed for delicate areas
  • Reaches lower areas when flipped
  • Dries wheels and engine bays

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AIR-S designed for?

The BLO AIR-S is designed for driving water out of grilles, vents, mirrors, bumpers and wheels, and for drying motorcycles and bikes. It is also useful for dusting interiors.

How powerful is it?

The AIR-S uses a single 1.5HP motor rated at 21,800 FPM, with warm filtered air up to 25 degrees above ambient temperature.

How many speed settings does it have?

The AIR-S has two speeds, so you can use a less forceful airflow in tight areas or on delicate surfaces and the higher setting elsewhere.

What comes with the AIR-S?

BLO supplies the AIR-S with a choice of 3 nozzles to suit different jobs, and the dryer has a 5M (16ft) power cord.

Can it dry a whole car?

Yes, the AIR-S is capable of drying a whole car, though less efficiently than a larger floor-standing dryer. It is most useful on detail areas such as wheels, engine bays, grilles and mirrors.

Is it good for motorcycles?

Yes, BLO lists the AIR-S as ideal for drying motorcycles and bikes, and its size makes it easier to aim into tight crevices on smaller bikes.

Where can I buy the AIR-S in the UK?

The BLO AIR-S is available from The Drivers HQ with UK-wide delivery, and you can also visit our walk-in store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire.

  4. Keep the cord away from puddles and wash water.

  6. Use it for quick interior dusting between washes.
  7. Pair it with a plush towel for pat drying larger panels.
  8. Available with UK-wide delivery from The Drivers HQ.

The Brand

BLO

BLO Car Dryer is a specialist brand dedicated to touchless car drying systems designed to eliminate water without ever touching the paint. Developed for detailers and enthusiasts who want a safe, swirl-free finish, BLO combines powerful motors, precision airflow, and ergonomic design. BLO says most swirl marks and scratches happen while a car is being dried, and that drying with forced, warm, filtered air means a drying towel never touches the finish.
