Blow dry?
Is it better to blow dry the car instead of wiping off with a cloth?

If you’ve got really soft paint, yes.
But barring your vehicle having paint you can’t even touch without instilling swirls everytime you do.. I prefer using a towel to dry. I feel like the final pass with the drying towel helps maximize the shine because there’s always bound to be trace amounts of residue after a wash & rinse that only a damp towel can physically remove. This is even more apparent on the wheels. 9 times out of 10 I’ll use a wheel cleaner then blow dry wheels. They look good enough, but if you really want to get them perfect then you need to finish them off with a clean damp microfiber towel. Same rule applies to the paint.

Anytime you touch the car you risk scratching and maring the paint. If you can dry without anything touching it, yes that's better.

If you blow off the car you can remove the water behind the emblems and mouldings as well as mirrors. After blowing it off dry with soft towel

From what I’ve witnessed:
1.) There will be quite a bit more build-up
of Static Electricity, upon vehicles’ surfaces,
whenever they are wiped down with a cloth.
2.) Static Electricity seems to attract dust
in a similar fashion as does a magnet attract
ferromagnetic metals.

Re: Blow dry?
is using leaf blower with unfiltered air a concern ? Just don't want to be blowing dust and debris back onto the paint.

Leaf blower will work fine. I use the EGo blower.
As long as the car isn’t sitting on dirt or gravel you should be fine.

Regular leaf blower meaning gas powered leaf blower? You don’t want to use a gas powered leaf blower.

A concern...for me?
No. Not in the least.
