If you're going to buy some to try (you should!) try the 16x16" size first. The bigger one is heavy and hard to control. The small one is perfect and is enough to dry a car, no problem. If you have a truck you might need a second towel but that's fine, they come in 2-packs anyways.

I think I have 8 of them ready to go, it really is PFM.

you know, i feel like a 'freakin' moron!

as you guessed, i did go to ag to look them up. realized i already purchased the large one and several of the 16x16's. never use the large one (due to sizing as you say), but the smaller, light blue are the ones i reach for first. simply didn't remember they were the pfm's!

thanks again for all the help,

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.

Are you sure blow dry save time?

In my opinion, I would answer your question simply by saying Yes, it is safer to only "touch" your paint with air. As Mike has often said, anytime you touch or rub your paint you risk marring.

Having said that, I blow for 90%-95% water removal, then blot dry any residual water.

I attached a foam filter to my cheap leaf blower, just in case...

Oh yeah, definitely.

I just don't touch the paint with the tip of the blower. Stay at least a foot away.

If you have an electric or smaller CFM blower, the natural tendency is to get closer to the paint to blow more water off.

Even with a smaller blower, remember........ The name of the game is to get MOST of the water off, and from the crevasses and emblems. Not every drop.

You blow dry, then go back over with your (hopefully) PFM.

You gotta get a Sidekick, they’re just plain sweet. You’ll wish you had it sooner.

I just received the Metro Sidekick this week and it’s really cool. It’s perfect for tires, wheels, mirrors, window frames, emblems and any kind of crevice. I use the McKees 37 Turbo first but there always seems to be water seeping out of small spaces. The Sidekick finishes the job.

Yeah, well you're getting older UD.
