When drying with a leaf blower...

[Eric@CherryOnTop]

Or other forced air device, does anybody worry about stirring up things on the ground and getting contaminants on the paint? The few times I've used forced air to dry I've had to back over the car with spray detailer and a microfiber to get little bits of floor dust and whatnot off the paint.

Seems like I'm better off sheeting the water off with a hose and using a microfiber with some QD as a drying aid.

Thoughts?

There is too much volume of air when using an electric blower. I recommend the metro vac n blow line, or the designated metro master blaster

If the ground around the car is still wet then you shouldn't have any problems unless you are deliberately aiming the stream of air straight at the ground. The only time this becomes an issue for me is when I'm drying tires. You just have to be careful.

I have the Master Blaster and dry the car in my shop and never have a problem with dust or dirt going back on the car.

Usually my ground is still wet. I blow the majority of the water off in my driveway , then pull in the garage to finish drying with my towels. So dust isn't really an issue.

I basically hit all the knooks and crevices with the metro and the do the rest with a MF towel and as everybody else has mentioned the ground is still pretty much wet which will keep the dust blowing factor down.

you can spray down the driveway around the car before washing and then proceed with the wash or you can do it after you wash before you start drying...

Good suggestion, I just bought a leaf blower and was planning to use it for the first time today. The idea of dust on the ground occurred to me. Thanks, this will help.

What I do is dry the truck, after that use the sidekick and dry the sides and wala im good to go, before i would use my lb but was careful not to blow it to the ground i would usually keep it in direction of the truck.
