car drying

**molarman** · 05-12-2010, 08:37 AM

has anyone tried using a leaf blower for drying, or would it just blow tiny dirt particles and dust on the cleaned car?

Many people on here use leaf blowers to dry with. Do a search and it will turn up all kinds of talk about it.

Yes. They save so much time and prevent scratches as well. I love them.

There is even a blower made specifically for the purpose-

I leaf blower for the yard, the other for car care. No exceptions, dont touch the car unit for anything less.

I love it for drying the wheels and tires especially but it's great for the whole car.

I use an electric leaf blower on my black Monte exclusively, saves wiping and gets the water out of all the trim and mouldings. Works great. I also use it to dry the wheels, tires and when I scrub the engine compartment. It gets water out of the puddle places on the engine.

So is good leaf blower as good as the Metro blower (the big 300 dollar one), or am I going to be frustrated if I get a leaf blower and not the Metro blower. For those that use a leafblower, any basic spec recommendations?

My leaf blower is also a vacuum cleaner that I got at Big Lots for 49.99. It has a cannister that you put the motor in or put a nozzle on it for blowing leaves.
