BlowR FAQ's
General Automotive Blower Questions
How do bigboi BlowR dryers help prevent scratches?
bigboi BlowR dryers use touchless drying to remove water from your vehicle with warm, filtered air.
This helps reduce the need for drying towels, chamois, or cloths that can drag dirt, dust, or debris across the paint and cause scratches, swirls, or marks.
Can I use a BlowR on all vehicle surfaces?
Yes. bigboi BlowR dryers are safe for use on vehicle surfaces including paint, glass, wheels, chrome, metal, and fabric convertible roofs.
They are also suitable for delicate finishes such as vinyl wraps, satin finishes, matte paint, and ceramic-coated vehicles when used correctly.
Are BlowR dryers good for ceramic-coated cars?
Yes. BlowR dryers are ideal for ceramic-coated cars.
A quality coating helps water bead and sheet off the surface, and a BlowR lets you really see that coating working in real time. Water gets pushed off panels, out of gaps, and away from badges, mirrors, wheels, and trim without needing to drag a towel across the paint.
Honestly, few things are more satisfying than watching water fly off a freshly coated car. Tiny hydrophobic theatre. Very good garage cinema.
Does a BlowR still work if my car is not ceramic coated?
Yes. A BlowR still works extremely well on vehicles without ceramic coating.
A ceramic coating can make drying faster because water beads and releases more easily, but the BlowR is still designed to remove water from paint, glass, wheels, grilles, mirrors, trims, and hard-to-reach areas on any well-maintained vehicle.
For the best results on an uncoated car, make sure the surface is clean, protected where possible, and regularly maintained with a quality wax, sealant, or detail spray.
Are BlowR dryers suitable for professional use?
Yes, selected bigboi BlowR models are designed for professional detailing use.
The BlowR PRO MKII and BlowR PRO+ MKII are best suited to high-volume professional use. The BlowR MINI+ is a strong option for enthusiasts and lower-volume professionals, while the BlowR MINI, Buddi JNR, and ChargD are great for enthusiasts, mobile convenience, or specific drying tasks.
Can BlowR dryers help prevent water spots?
Yes. BlowR dryers help remove water quickly and thoroughly, reducing the chance of water drying on the surface and leaving water spots behind.
For the best possible result, especially in hard-water areas, pair your BlowR with a bigboi D-IonizR filtration system to reduce minerals and impurities in the rinse water.
Do BlowR dryers use heated air?
Yes. Most bigboi BlowR dryers use bigboi Temperature Technology, or BTT, to warm the air and improve drying performance.
The exact heat control depends on the model. Some models use fixed heat above ambient temperature, while others offer selectable or adjustable heat settings.
Do BlowR dryers have built-in filters?
Yes. BlowR dryers use built-in filters to help prevent dust and debris from being blown onto the surface you are drying.
These filters help keep the drying process cleaner and safer for paint, glass, chrome, wheels, and delicate finishes.
Are the BlowR filters reusable?
Yes. The foam filters are reusable.
Wash the filter when required, allow it to dry fully, and then reinstall it before using the unit again. Never reinstall a wet filter.
What maintenance is required for a BlowR dryer?
The main maintenance requirement is checking, cleaning, and replacing the filter when needed.
How often this needs to be done depends on how frequently you use the unit and the condition of the filter. If the filter becomes dirty, damaged, blocked, or worn, it should be cleaned or replaced.
Are BlowR dryers waterproof?
No. bigboi BlowR dryers are built with materials designed to handle normal detailing environments, including moisture and humidity in the air, but they are not waterproof.
Do not leave your BlowR exposed to rain, standing water, or direct water spray. Always store it in a dry place when not in use.
Can I use a BlowR hose longer than the supplied hose?
Do not extend or alter your BlowR hose.
bigboi offers 5m and 9m hose options depending on the model. Using the correct hose helps maintain proper airflow and performance.
Can I get spare parts for my BlowR?
Yes. Spare some parts are available for selected BlowR models and can be requested through bigboi support or the spare parts section where available.
If you are unsure which part you need, contact the support team with your product model, issue, and photos if possible.

BlowR MINI+ FAQ's
What is the BlowR MINI+?
The BlowR MINI+ is designed to bridge the gap between the BlowR MINI and the BlowR PRO models.
It uses a twin motor design to deliver strong, touchless drying performance in a smaller and more accessible format. It is ideal for enthusiasts and lower-volume professionals who want more power than the MINI without stepping up to the full PRO range.

BlowR ChargD
What is the BlowR ChargD?
The BlowR ChargD is a cordless touchless car dryer designed for enthusiasts and detailing professionals who want drying power without being tied to a wall outlet.
It is powered by a 58V 4.0Ah Li-ion battery and uses turbine fan technology to deliver strong, portable airflow.
Who is the BlowR ChargD best for?
The BlowR ChargD is ideal for mobile detailers, home users, and anyone who wants cordless freedom when drying a vehicle.
It is especially useful when working around large vehicles, in driveways, in garages, or in areas where power access is limited.
How powerful is the BlowR ChargD?
The BlowR ChargD delivers up to 650 CFM of drying power, moving a large volume of air through a large outlet to help push water off panels, glass, wheels, mirrors, trims, and hard-to-reach areas.
Unlike narrow-nozzle blowers that rely on a small, sharp jet of air, the BlowR ChargD is designed to move serious airflow across a wider area. This makes it ideal for chasing water off coated panels, clearing grilles and badges, and drying more of the vehicle with each pass.
It also includes a Turbo Boost mode that increases airflow by 22% when you need extra power for stubborn water or faster drying.
Hose Reel FAQ's
What is the BlowR MKII Hose Reel?
The BlowR MKII Hose Reel is a wall-mounted hose management accessory designed to work with wall-mountable bigboi BlowR models, including the MKII range.
It helps keep your drying hose neat, organised, and ready to use.
Does the BlowR MKII Hose Reel include a hose?
No. The hose reel does not include the main BlowR hose.
It includes a short lime hose with adaptor, metal wall mount, and hose reel. You can use your existing compatible 9m BlowR hose with the reel.
Can you extend a BlowR hose?
No. It is not recommended to extend or alter your BlowR hose.
bigboi offers 5m and 9m hose options to suit different setups.
What size hose is recommended with the hose reel?
We recommend using the 9m hose with the hose reel.
The 5m hose can feel too short when the unit is wall-mounted.
What size hose is recommended with the hose reel?

We recommend using it with the BlowR MINI+ and above, including larger BlowR models where the extra hose length makes the reel more practical and comfortable to use.
For best results, we recommend using the 9m hose with the hose reel. The 5m hose can feel a little short once the unit is wall-mounted, especially when moving around a full vehicle.
