How To Dry Your Vehicle ? Leaf Blower???

I use a California water blade initially, then follow that up with my new Cycle Dry, and then finish with a waffle weave MF. The cycle dry has now replaced me using my Craftsman Wet/Dry vac. The blower just gets bulky, and this new cycle dry is small and is a good blower for cars and bikes.
 
I use a CWB to get most of the water off. I then follow up with a WW towel. If I am feeling particulary ambitious, I will use the blower portion of my shop vac to bow out the mirros, crevises and body mouldings.
 
A leaf blower is a great way to dry your car but I always recommend using an electric blower over a gas one. Reason being that you may drip or spray gas on the car accidentally while using the blower.

I also always recommend using a dedicated blower just for your car. By this I mean don't use it to mulch the grass or leaves on Saturday morning and then use it again to blow dry the car in the afternoon. You will surely hurl bits and pieces of debris at the cars surface, which would not be good:bigscream

As I have said before, I have used a leaf blower for the last 6 or 7 years and never had a problem. The best way that works for me is after a final rinse I start from the top and work my way down, open the engine areas and trunk areas and blow out the water run-off areas. Open up the door jambs and blow those out plus the wheels.

I then go over the whole car with some QD and a few MF's and viola! It's done!

I think it's at www.cycledry.com.

They sell it at my Harley dealer, and then I ended up buying one at bike week.

Basically, it's a small electric blower that weights less than 3 pounds and blows at 112mph. Granted, my leaf blower is at 220, but it really isn't necessary.

I used mine for the first time yesterday, and really liked the results. Just blows the water out of every crevice. What I was really impressed with was doing the engine compartment before I applied my dressings.

It's a good alternative to the Air Force Blower, which costs $200.
