Vac/Blower
I just recently purchased a 2015 Mustang GT. I love the car but have found drying it is impossible. No matter what I do there are nothing but weepers and the Performance Pack wheels are a bear to clean and dry. I am considering using a blower. Any advise or suggested products to purchase?
Thank You!!!!

Love my DP Turbo Dryer. I should have bought it sooner.

I have the Metro Blaster Sidekick. It is very easy to use, convenient to handle and in spite of the small size, it really blasts out a strong airstream.

I use the Metro Vac-N-Blo and love it. The hose is plenty long enough to get 3/4 of the way around a car, then just swing around and get the other 1/4. Its a great vac too!!!

I have a Toro electric leaf blower and I'm very happy with it. It was around $60, very powerful (390cfm).

Thanks for the input everyone. I have noticed the high end, expensive, units also provide heat. Does anyone find this helpful? I do not mind spending the money as long as it is worth it.

I have the Metro Master Blaster that blows warm air and have found it to be an advantage over a previous blower and leaf blower I had than did not blow warm air.

Re: Vac/Blower
Using a blower to dry a car with a good layer of protection is to enjoy car care even more. While it takes a bit of getting used to manipulating a high-powered air stream through a wand of some sort around a car without touching the paint, it is a breeze (NPI) to dry a Mustang-sized car in just a few minutes with forced air. I use an Air Wand attached to my Shop•Vac's detachable blower (the same blower as the DP Turbo mentioned above) and it puts out huge air.
To catch those last few drops that may be hiding in mouldings and trim, I'd suggest a pair of Dropnetics from Microfiber Madness, but if you're at all careful with the air you'll have removed almost all the hidden water.

Agreed, just bought one and I love it! It blows stronger than my leaf blower and it' just a bit bigger than an hairdryer.
Very surprising how much air is coming out of that tiny device!
