[QUOTE=Merlin;5668440]I started out using an electric leaf blower - With CAUTION!
I personally would not use a gas blower but hey, that's me...
IMPORTANT: NEVER use it for leaves! ONLY use it to dry paint.
* Create an intake filter with a dryer hose clamp and mesh
Pros:
Inexpensive - pushes lots of air
Cons:
Can pick up debris and blow it on your paint
Usually has a hard tip that can bump/scratch paint.

Now let's move to the one everyone is raving about...
It comes in two flavors Metro Air Force Master Blaster
and the Metro Air Force Master Blaster Revolution
The difference is better front wheels, Wall Mount Bracket and Hose hanger.
For a couple extra nickels you can even get a 30 foot hose.
Pros:
It has 2 settings 4hp Yea! and 8hp Hell Yea!!!
4hp is safe for for small crevices (inside rear view mirrors)
8hp works great for chasing water off paint
Soft rubber tip at the end of the hose (in case you bump paint)
Up to 58,000 feet per minute of clean, warm, dry, filtered air.
Cons:
The Master Blaster costs more than a leaf blower.
Although it is light you "pull" it around the vehicle.

I just bought this battery powered leaf blower and holy schnitz its powerful. I would have never believed it unless I saw it. It blows away my 4 stroke leaf blower.
