I use my leaf blower, go over the entire car and then come back with a microfiber towel. Works perfectly. That one looks good too. Its a fancy leaf blower. LOL

Yep, slick finish + water + leaf blower = dry without spots!!!

+2 I used my leaf blower to dry my car for the first time last wk and it came out great

I use my backpack leaf blower on the engine bay as well as the whole car every time I wash my car. Follow it up with a microfiber on those places that like to drip and you're golden!

I bought a Troybuilt electric 12amp, 240mph leaf blower from Lowe's, on sale, for $45. The reviews on it for vacuuming sucked, but I only use it to dry the Mustang. It moves a hell of a lot more air than my 4-cycle gas blower and when you have to twist it and move it, fuel doesn't leak out! LOL!

But yeah, find yourself a cheap, high MPH, over 200, electric one on sale somewhere and forget that $70 one. If all I'm doing is drying my car or the wife's truck, then I don't need to spend that kinda money on one.

Edit: I just noticed it's on sale for $46. I'm sure they get you on the shipping. But that thing only has a 5amp motor in it and it must take forever to dry a car with how small that outlet opening is. Notice they say 110mph at a low RPM, but they don't tell you what the max speed is? Just the max RPM. I bet that little thing doesn't get over 140mph at the highest RPM. Just makes a lot more noise.

Leaf blower is the way to go. And the looks you get from your neighbors make it worth it lol

You guys know the heavy duty back pack type STIHL leaf blowers that the mexicans use to blow off the parking lots once they get done mowing the grass? Yep, i got one of those just for the cars. Works real good and takes about 2 minutes.

They only flow around 200mph for the top of the line blowers, but they move so much more air than the smaller ones! My dad has a big landscaping company so I take the broken ones and repair them for this reason! Great investment!

All I saw on the link was girls? Were they the blowers........?

i get lazy and just use my gas leaf blower, but i wouldn't mind having one of those chicks on that link blow me dry

I use the shop vac hose from the blower port … 20+ years. Before that I used to use the elctrolux vac that a blower port on the top.

I just use my Toro leaf blower that I picked up from Home Depot. I believe the top speed on this thing is 235 mph and its great for not only drying off the car but getting rid of the tons of leaves in the fall. Believe it cost me around $60

Where is Seer? This is good.

Gas leaf blower? Oh no.

electric 200+ mph leaf blower is good to use BUT... you cannot use it for anything else, as they have a tendancy to pick up debris through their filters and shoot out particles over time.

If you're gonna use a leaf blower, buy one dedicated for car drying.
