Re: CAR Dryers
None of my cars are ceramic coated.
I cycle through various spray coatings, Collinite 845 and Wolfgang DGPS.

I wholeheartedly agree. Instead of spending money on Wayne Carini, they should stop using cheap hoses. I never even considered a Metrovac and really like my BigBoi Blowr Pro.

btw, just because a company comes out with a certain type of product first (this can relate to all kinds/sorts of things), doesn't necessarily make it always the best/only choice. there's always room for improvement to make a good product (or idea) better, especially as time goes on. we have already seen this with many detailing tools/products...

Re: CAR Dryers
I think the style of blower that would be 'best fit' also depends on the vehicles you have (if a hobbyist). While I could get away w/ a handheld/leaf blower type of deal on 2 of our cars, the other 2 (notably the 2019 Corvette) make a blower w/ a long hose and nozzle more appropriate. A few of the really irritating places on the Corvette (hood vents in middle of hood, rear vents on top of rear quarter panels, sunken back window where water really collects in the seams, etc) would make easily getting a handheld blower/leaf blower type of deal in there not so easy.

Re: CAR Dryers
For the truck I use the McKees 37 Turbo dryer. It has a lot of power and it really moves the water. It can be a bit cumbersome. I also use the Metro Blaster Sidekick for smaller vehicles and after rinseless washes especially on the wheels and mirrors. No matter what dryer you use, you still have to have a good quality drying towel to remove any residual water. The dryer does not eliminate every bit of water.
I believe in treating everybody with respect, and clean cars. That’s what I believe in.

It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
