Give Your Vehicle a Spotless Finish in Just Minutes
Compact and portable, the Sidekick removes water from places towels simply can't reach. When it rains, water accumulates in crevices, around lights, and on body panels. After you take your wheels out for a spin, the accumulated water forms droplets that stream down, leaving unsightly streaks and spots behind. Fortunately, the Sidekick lets you clean off the accumulated water before it can mar the surface of your favorite ride.

Designed to be used at home or on the road with a waffle-weave towel, the Sidekick removes water from under the air spoiler, mirrors, door handles, tire rims, and more. Its 12-inch rubber nozzle is a snap to position, and it won't scratch your paint job.

Powerful yet Compact, Easily Blows Away Moisture
With air volume of 160 MPH/85 CFM and air speed of 18,000 FPM, the Sidekick is both powerful and effective. It owes its robust performance to a 1.3-horsepower, 8.0-amp, 950-watt, 120-volt motor, which blows warm, filtered air to dry your motorcycle or car in minutes.

Weighing only three pounds and small enough to put in a saddle bag, the Sidekick is easy to hold and maneuver.

The Sidekick boasts sturdy all-steel construction and an easy-change foam filter. It comes with a one-year manufacturer's warranty.

Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner Co., Inc.: Committed to the American Dream
In December of 1939, Hyman Gulker pawned his pocket watch and gave to his daughter and son-in-law, Pearl and Israel Stern. That was the beginning of Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner Company, the family's American Dream.

Before he founded Metro, Israel sold vacuum cleaners door to door. He was such a great salesman, in fact, that the president of the last company he worked for offered him 0 to come back into the fold. To the president's great disappointment, however, Israel's wife had the last word. She said, "Nothing doing. We're on our own now!"Since the day those fateful words were spoken, the Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner Co., Inc. has grown from a small retail store in Bronx, NY, that sold and repaired vacuum cleaners into a multidivisional corporation with an ever-expanding range of products.

What's in the Box
Sidekick with filter and 12-inch cord, rubber neoprene blower nozzle, and air flare.


Keep it in your garage or glove box to remove water from under the air spoiler, mirrors, door handles, tire rims, and more.
