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 .... 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.

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

That is a nice set up Regular towels are not good for the paint but heck you’ve been using it for years so I’d say it is not a worry for you. |

There is a point at which I can’t really be bothered to care about a car’s paint. I figure if a nice cotton towel is ok for my skin, it’s fine for the car. Except the Porsche tried to eat it this morning. |

At this rate, I'm going to have to reduce my offer to buy it.
