    Just picked up a blower

    So after reading alot of people's comments about a dedicated blower for their car, I decided to pick one up. I bought this one from Lowes:

    Shop Troy-Bilt 7.5-Amp Electric Blower at Lowes.com=

    I will be testing this out later today. Seems like sufficient power for drying the car. I installed the nose pointing down instead of up to make drying easier.

    I have a 7.5 amp Craftsman and love it. I dry it with the blower than mist a little QD and finish with a WW. Makes a super combo.

    I have the JetSPEED and really like it. The blower is lightweight and has 6 speeds, which come in handy for different parts of the car. Some time ago, someone complained that the rubber nozzle would fall off. They fixed that and all you have to do is slip the nozzle on and give it a twist to lock it in place.

    Congrats on the Troy Built. I like that handle since most surfaces above door handle height need to turn it upside down. The 150 MPH is perfect too.

    Thanks Jimmie! I didn't get to try this today...was too hot today and ended up running all around the world running errands. I'm going to try to make a video tomorrow.

    I also picked up the new Jet speed dryer and it does a good job of drying. I use it most for the areas that trap and hold water like mirrors, lug nuts, around lights etc.
