Best thing: Warm, filtered air
Honest catch: Corded — needs an outlet nearby
If you care about swirl-free paint or own a motorcycle, a dedicated dryer is one of the best upgrades after a good wash mitt, and the SideKick is the compact, affordable entry into Metrovac's line. The trade-offs: it still needs a corded outlet, the warranty is one year, and drying a large SUV takes longer than with the bigger Master Blaster.
Fewer swirls: drying with air means less towel contact on freshly washed paint.
No more drips: blow water out of mirrors, grilles, badges, wheels and lug nuts before it streaks.
Clean air only: the intake is filtered and the air is warmed to about 30°F above ambient.
Light and compact: about 3 lb and 4.5 × 7.5 × 9.75 in, easy to hold and store.

It blows warm, dry, filtered air — Metrovac says about 30°F above the surrounding temperature. It is a dryer, not a heat gun: the point is to push water off the car with filtered air.
A one-year limited warranty on the unit, motor, parts, switches and cords; carbon brushes, filters and general maintenance are excluded.
Researched from the maker’s specifications, the store listing and published information — not lab-tested. We never accept payment for a recommendation.
