I am starting my own car washing business and I heard that using a leaf blower to dry a car is better than towels. Which one is better, I need to know which one to buy!!

If it is an either OR question, the answer has to be towels. The leaf blower does not eliminate towel dry for me but it speeds up the process and keeps me from using too many towels. I blow as much water as I can and then use two towels to finish up. If you use just towels, you will not get water out of the cracks and crevices.

I use both. The blower to get the water up and out of the seams, door handles etc.... Then attack with the microfiber towels.

I'd start out with the blower after using the sheeting or pooling rinse technique. The less you touch your paint, the better in my opinion.

I use towels for the initial drying and then a SHOP VAC to suck water out of the cracks and crevices.

It works awesome.
Last thing I want to happen after spending all day cleaning it up, is to drive off and have water leak from every possible nook and cranny.
It REALLY works best on headlights and mirrors.
