Default Leaf blower

This is probably not new to anybody, but I used a leaf blower today to dry my truck after washing it. Seemed to work well.

yep, been doing it for awhile now. Your able to blow water out of the side emblems and such less things that touch your truck less likely for scratches. Then I go over it with a soft micro fiber towel for drying.

I usually use a microfiber towel to dry it, but I couldn't find them... It definitely helped to get water out of places that you normally couldn't.

Been using a leaf blower for sometime now. It's really the only thing I use these days. Got my electric leaf blower (Toro) from Amazon, it works great.

I’ve been thinking about getting the Dewalt 20V MAX Compact Jobsite Blower for this. It is small and easy to maneuver when needed. It’s more a small shop blower and wouldn’t be a good leaf blower.

My neighbors look at me like I’m challenged when I dry the cars with the leaf blower.
Three cars dried with one towel and all emblems mirrrors drip free.

Been using one to dry vehicles for years. They are particularly effective on a motorcycle.

They also make the Master Blaster and it's sidekick for quick, easy and more portable solutions.
