"Hi, this is Dowell again helping you wash your vehicle like a pro. This is on my list of important items if you really want to do a great job washing your car in removing the water. Of all our employees favorite tools. I think they've talked to you about compressed air. What I'm holding here is a compressed air gun. We've got our air piped in here. At your home you can buy a small air compressor at the local you know home repair center and it's worth the money if you want to do a great job doing you know cleaning your vehicle. What we basically use this for is to remove water from cracks, crevasses. You know it does a great job of getting that initial after you've finished washing the car you get the you can blow the initial excess water off before we start towel drying. When we're detailing a car the interior of it we'll talk later in other segments about that but as far as just getting in one of the problems we have is water just tend to get into cracks and crevasses. You jump on, on the road you get on the freeway and the next thing you know. That dirty water that we were unable to get off the vehicle runs down the side of the car and leaves soap and a film again and so compressed air is the best way to get that. One of the tricks we like to do here at The Firehouse is on the rear view mirrors. What we tend to find is that water will collect inside these rear view mirrors and we can get around them and blow out the cracks and crevasses there our customers are much happier. With the results of their car wash when the leave because they don't have the streaks running down their car."
