Best blower to dry off car
I am so done with using an electric leaf blower to dry off my car, I hit the roof too many times causing small paint blemishes ... I want a dryer for my car that has a similiar system like a vacuum cleaner with a light hose so I don’t have to worry about hitting the car with it.
The master blaster seems to be the choice of some :dunno: .... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated |
I didn't know this was a thing. Can you use your wet /dry vac?
Personally I use a California water blade with a few clean microfiber towels to dry and it works acceptably for me. |

YMMV of course... |
I use a large bath towel—have had the same one since HS, believe it or not.

Blade plus a big cotton towel here.

Uhhh I think it’s time for a new towel JST

A blower isn’t going to work well unless you are religious about waxing.

Even with generally meticulous cleaning of blades between wipes, it doesn't help when shit falls on the car and you can't see it in the water beads. Too many scratches.
I bought two Chemical Guys Woolly Mammoth 25"x36" microfiber drying towels recently and am pretty pleased. It takes about 1 and a quarter towels to dry the Camaro. They seem ridiculously expensive for what they are, but I bought a few different types that were cheaper but these work best by far and give me the least angst of adding scratches. |
Yeah, I bought that blade thingy and used it for a few years,but was paranoid every time.
Even microfiber towels worry me. I like the idea of air....... in theory. But my experiments with leaf blowers didn't prove particularly effective. So I ended up back at towels |
