metro air blower

Are there any drawbacks to using the air blower used to dry motorcycles on your car after washing it ?

Re: metro air blower

It's a good thing..anytime you can get the water off without touching the surface just protects it more.

Re: metro air blower

I always use the metro blower to knock off about 95% of the water on my cars after I wash. Great for engine details too.
No more mirrors, tail lights, etc dripping.

I bought one for my motorcycle and love it. I also use on the cars and it does a nice job.

only draw back is it has a bit less force/power than a leaf blower. I dont find it a bad thing, but do like the extra power when using on wheels and wheelwells.
