    Re: Blow dry?

    if you have a solid coat of protection on the vehicle, drying with air (less chance of marring/scratching) will blow most of the water off. IME depending on the weather, sometimes if you use a blower you can get water spotting. it would be faster to use a drying towel and if/when i do, i will either blot dry and/or drape and pull matador style. if you use a PFM (or similar style drying towel) it will make drying a lot easier. i tend to follow up with a qd/spray wax to get any left over droplets/water spots, and/or areas that may have been missed when washing...

    To save a accidental rub with the plastic end of the leaf blower I cut the end out of a beer cozy and tape it on with half of it sticking past the plastic. works great and cheap. No accidental contact

    Blow dry?

    Blow dry followed by ECH2O and microfiber. Can’t beat it.

    Blow dry with a leaf blower dedicated to my car. Spray with a batch of Merlin’s and 2 16x16 PFM’s. If I don’t blow dry still the 16x16. 2 gets the whole car. Not a Dane of big towels

    I use a gas powered leaf blower, but after doing the infamous 'fall clean-up' (suckin' up tons of leaves), do a through impeller cleaning. Lotza a gunk does get stuck in there.

    After blowing, wipe down with 'quick wax' to get whatever is left on the surface and call it finished.

    Re: Blow dry?

    Just washed my car just now and used the leaf blower for the very 1st time. Mine is electric.

    I would have to agree, it makes car drying much much easier and saves time.

    Only thing I guess I have to be mindful of is not to accidentally ding the car with the leaf blower. I touched the car with it once, lol.

    I followed that up a drying towel and that didn't even get that wet at all.

    I use my McKees dryer and then a mist of BM when I use my drying towel.

    PFM = pure freakin magic, it's a Griot's product.
