1. Ummm... my leaf blower was in the garage when the house burned down.
2. I never used it anyway, because I didn't have trees.
3. I let the gardeners do the yard work... I don't have time for that crap.
4. I don't wash my own car either... I don't have time for that crap.

I know what you mean. I bought my leaf blower and other stuff for my house and probably used it for a month. Washing car is a pain too.

I don't have a leaf blower, but I do have a compressor. :beer:

LOL :beer: Now that I think about it, I have two compressors AND a leaf blower. BTW, anyone that washes their own car - leaf blowers are a great help for drying the car quickly and getting the water out of those hard to reach places - like the mirrors, door handles, fuel tank fill cover, etc...

Never used a leaf blower, but 150 PSI of air through a thin nozzle works nicely on body panel gaps. :thumb:

warm engine, rinse it first with water, spray on liberally diluted purple power, bout 50/50 w/ water..let it set for 10 minutes, and spray it off..blow dry the engine with a wet vac or something, then finish with turtle wax F21 spray...

Thanks for the update. I tried the Simple Green and it did what I needed it to do.




This works better and a lot more fun to watch

In terms of how good of a job each does at drying my car...

Air Compressor > Leaf Blower :)
Mexican > Hot chick

In terms of what I'd rather see...

Hot Chick with Leaf Blower > Mexican with Air Compressor
