It's a high pressure air blaster, blows water out of all the nooks & crannies, great for drying wheels too.

No probs, yes mirrors, lights, badges etc are a pain. It's a good gadget IMO, enjoy

They're overpriced, look out on ebay for a pet dryer.. do the same thing & are cheaper! Check out the auctions rather than BIN and you'll get one for under £30.
Just be mindful that either a pet dryer or the sidekick is quite noisy, much louder than a hoover..

I had a pet dryer before getting the sidekick, they are too bulky, the sidekick is much easier to use. But each to their own

When I cleaned mine the other day I thought there's alot of nook and crannies for the water to sit it. Could be a good gadget
