Drying Question

I have used California Water Blade as well as an electric leaf blower to dry. The speed is great but is there any downside anyone has experienced? Thanks!

Using the water blade can cause scratches

Definitely can scratch if not used properly. I clean it off after each swipe no no grit gets between it and the paint. The leaf blower is fantastic as it never touches car. Try it!

This is true.
And alot of my corvette clients use a electric leaf blower to get most of the water off.
I like the cobra waffle weave towels alot.

What's wrong with QDing in the winter after a wash if I may ask? Is it too humid?

The weather is great here, so i don't have any problems of water spot's on the finish from drying, now when good old summer is here, it's too humid for me.
