They work great and I use my cordless one a lot before the microfiber towels come out. I have met people who use their gas powered blowers and cannot understand why that is a BAD idea.

At least its not my truck!!!!

I have always used a gas powered blower. Never an issue.

I use one similar to this. Works pretty well. Plenty of blowing power and very light weight.

Yup, if you think a leaf blower works well try the big boy master blaster. As long as paint has a good coat of wax or sealant with good beading properties, water easily blows off vehicle without risking scratches from hand drying.
