Worx 20v blower. Shares same battery with my hydroshot. Excellent for blowing the water out of all crevices and side mirrors. I'll finish up with a single 16x16 PFM.

Re: Car Dryer
I initially used my noisy and heavy Stihl gas leaf blower, but I normally wash early in the mornings and I had a feeling my neighbors would kill me. So, I switched to a lighter, quieter electric Kobalt leaf blower and love it. I can get about 85% of the water off in very short time.

Re: Car Dryer
the Mckee's dryer works pretty good for the money. it's a great tool & using it with a small griots PFM towel is all you'll need. If your vehicle is properly maintained the better the dryer works. after detailing my truck last week I was able to dry it with just the McKee's dryer. but most the time you'll need a little backup from a PFM towel. And I will tell you the dryer is great for wheels, trim & mirrors. I mean it's almost worth it for just doing those. One last note if you do get a PFM towel just get the small one, that's all you'll need. I've got two small ones and one large,the large is just to big. It does absorb plenty of water but it gets a little hard to use. Once that puppy is full of water it's not that easy to wring out.
Bottom line for me is I'm glad I bought the McKee's dryer. It really helps with cutting back on dragging a towel over your paint.

Re: Car Dryer
My 8hp metro is a must have for me. It will get water out of every nook and cranny that you'll never remove with a regular leaf blower or towel. Nothing is worse than trying to polish and or apply a final LSP with water dripping.

Re: Car Dryer
I too thought about a Worx leaf blower as an option for drying out the cracks and crevaces of my car but then thought about filtered air, so I passed and bought a Metro Vac sidekick and it kicked arse. Now I leave some of my stuff down in the garage, this item was no exception and one night we came home from Chipotle and someone actually STOLE it, a $100 glorified hair dryer, hope the person is happy with what they did, karma is a beeotch! I bought another one but this one stays upstairs, times are tough out there I guess!!

Re: Car Dryer
Metro air force master blaster for me! I have a long vacuum style hose on mine and I really can't notice any decrease in CFM.
Autofiber dreadnought towels are excellent too if towels are your thing.

Re: Car Dryer
McKee's Metro Blaster to start on my truck but mostly the Griots PFM drying towel. It is the best product on the market.
