I went to NorCal Hobbies in Union City, CA and they had a air compressor that was fairly large and it could clean the car in a matter of seconds with high pressure that got into every nook and cranny.

i'd love to have a small portable cheaper one but I am not sure if they make one, what are my options and where can I get something that has that pressure in a smaller size besides and aircan(aircan is weak btw)?

Here's one for $80 bucks. you wouldn't be able to run it for long periods under high CFM tasks (sanders, grinders and other high volume tools) but for a cheap compressor to blow your cars off with should work fine.

Well, quiet is not the big of an issue just a plus. If it's a air compressor most likely going to be loud.

This is the one I have and use around the house! It is great, you just have to watchout when excessively running it, mine for some reason blew the head gasket which I fixed for 2 bucks! Other then that it is great!

Does anyone use a CO2 tank? like a 5 lb tank or 10 lb? That would be nice and quit plus no water for painting...

Yes, Hebiki is right, that one is LOUD......I had it and everyone made fun of me at the track!

I think the pancake compressors are louder than other ones......I bought this one and it's not bad at all and it runs off my Honda 1000 watt generator with no problems at all....

attached is what I got at Home depot a while back within the past 6 to 8 months.......Under a 100 dollars and it's not as loud as the one that Hebiki posted.............
