Re: DEBRIS when -blow drying- car
Don't overthink. Most of the time the ground will still be wet from the wash which will help cut down on dust and dirt. Just work from top down.

Re: DEBRIS when -blow drying- car
It depends on the situation, but if I’m going all out I use an Air Wand attached to my Shop•Vac’s blower, and while it’s a bit unwieldy it really does work well. Then I use a rubber tipped Prevost gun and compressed air to dry out door jambs, seals and panel gaps. A quick once over with a Guzzler or Dehydrator (or pretty much any plush mf) and the car is about as dry as I can make it. I’ve never once worried about kicking dust up with a blower, anymore than I worry about marring the paint with a drying towel. PS: I’m fully married to the Ego ecosystem, but I own the backpack leaf blower (along with a gas and another corded electric blower), so it’s kinda hard to justify yet another just for drying cars.

How much debris is blowing over your car when going down the highway?
Exactly.
If you're that worried about particles measured in microns, then check yourself into a mental institution and spend your days hitting yourself in the forehead with a tack hammer.
Oh, did I say that out loud??

Very good point.

Is that with or without the tack?

The Tack is another $79.27 if you have Obama-Care.

All other times of the year, I am using my blower+stubby nozzle and in 3-4 minutes, I am done drying....
Anyhow, who here prescribes to the (blower may blow debris) so I only use a Metro, etc
The convenience of cordless is just so much more easier.......
Nope. Not an issue unless you live on a gravel drive or a farm, etc. Leaf blower moves more air and IMO works great. No issues. Don't over think things and stress out. However, at the end of the day it's your money and time if a Metro is what you want.

Who want's be attached to a cord.....
I mean my Hilti's, Metabos, etc all gather dust. Aka, concrete/metal working tools that I would never have imagine cordless would trump
Just short of certain applications where the corded tool is superior, cordless has replaced everything in my lineup. Even have a cordless plumbing drain snake.
