Few things are as kryptonite-like to the proud bike owner as water spots and water streaks on a freshly washed bike. Even the most diligent towel and shammy users will admit that getting those stubborn water drops out of every nook and cranny can be next to impossible.
If your wife is about ready to kill you for ruining her 15th hair dryer to blow-dry your bike, you might want to check out the Harley-Davidson HOG Blaster Motorcycle Dryer.The HOG Blaster is about the size of a Big Gulp in your hand. The electric 1.3 hp motor blasts a nice stream of warm, dry and filtered air at 18,000 feet per minute to basically push water off or out of your bike. This particular version has a nice Harley-Davidson logo on it, although as you might guess, it works with any brand of bike.
The whole package is a bit pricey considering a towel will essentially do the same job. But if you're a stickler for detail and can swallow the price, it does get the job done and sure beats trying to buff out those life-sucking water spots. It's also made in the USA, and comes with a full one-year warranty.
