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

Just ordered one in the dog house now  I'll soon be out the dog house once she's played with it.

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

It is mate, I can highly recommend it, although you do get strange looks from passers by, lol
