The Master Blaster videos show it works pretty good.
In your experience, are there any drawbacks?

I'm still in search of a good soap but I use both a chamois and a microfiber cloth to dry. The chamois absorbs the water and the microfiber cloth removes the streaks. Everything shows on the black vettes. :soapbox: I guess I need to look into the master blaster also.

I use Meguiars Crystal gold on all my vehicles,I have never waxed my F-350 but because of the Crystal gold it beads up like crazy.

I use Meguiars Gold Class soap and dry the car with the Master Blaster. Of all the soaps I have used I think Meguiars is the best.

The Master Blaster works good. It saves a little time, but the major advantage to using it is not having to rub on the car and it gets the water out of all the places you can't get at hand drying.

I used the Mother's wash and Mother's clay bar last spring with very good results. I want to try the Maguire's I think this spring. Just from posts and pics I've browsed it seems to create a deeper shine.
