I actually do have one. But I can't tell if you were trying to be sarcastic or not....

Im not.. you can dry it without touching the paint! it makes the wheels WAY easier to. then after take a microfiber rag and touch up the parts that you missed. I dry my car this way 9/10 to be honest

Very serious, best, quickest, most thorough way I have found to dry the car. Especially good at getting water out of all the cracks, mirrors and wheels.

I'll agree with all of the above. When I don't have that I use 3 or 4 clean microfiber clothes. One for windows, one for hood, roof, trunk, one for doors and lower body, one for wheels.

I use air to dry most of the car too, in the form of a quick 5-minute highway run, then stop and microfiber off whatever's left

The problem with gas blowers is that they can sometimes throw oil from the engine.
