The Rag Company Ultra Air Blaster – High-Pressure Air Cleaning Tool for Automotive Detailing
What Is This Product?
The Rag Company Ultra Air Blaster is a high-performance air-powered detailing tool designed to efficiently remove dust, dirt, and debris from hard-to-reach areas in vehicle interiors and exteriors. Ideal for cleaning carpets, vents, dashboards, trim, and engine bays, this tool connects to an air compressor to deliver powerful airflow, making detailing faster and more effective.
Why Should You Choose This Product?
The Ultra Air Blaster is a must-have for professional detailers and enthusiasts looking for faster, more effective dirt removal in areas where vacuuming alone falls short. However, the original version has an exposed bearing system that requires proper maintenance to prevent premature wear or failure. When maintained correctly, the Air Blaster delivers excellent performance and longevity.
Major Flaw: Exposed Bearings & Maintenance Requirements
One key issue with the original version is its exposed bearing design. Over time, dirt, dust, and moisture can penetrate the bearings, causing performance issues and potential failure if not maintained properly. To prevent this, regular maintenance is required.
Maintenance Guide for the Bearings
- Routine Cleaning: Every few uses, spray the bearings with WD-40 to remove dirt buildup.
- Lubrication: After cleaning, apply a high-quality bearing lubricant to keep them running smoothly.
- Use a Water Separator: To prevent rust and moisture damage, always use a water separator with your air compressor.
- Monitor Performance: If the tool begins to slow down, repeat the cleaning and lubrication process.
