Electric leaf blower, then waffle weave towel in the door jambs & such.

MacCool · 07-12-2014, 09:28 PM

MasterBlaster. I also use it for the dogs (three Golden Retrievers and we live on a lake).

I have a cheapo leaf blower and a nicer Toro with some real juice. The Toro especially works well. The MasterBlaster is better, but not as cost-effective as a leaf blower.

Master Blaster...still have to run a 20 amp circuit for full awesomeness, though.

What I do is drench a Stay Fresh microfiber towel. I ring it out really hard!

Fold it and spray there Quick detailer while I dry.

Looks flawless every time!

I use a blower on every crevice. Lay four 24x23 and two 24x24 mf towels. I lay and then run my hands across.

Tazicon · 07-13-2014, 03:40 AM

I use my air compressor. touch up with microfiber towel

I normally drove it around for a while or to a friends house never really had waterspots or such, however the leefblowers sound like a good idea!

150 mph down the interstate! No water spots

Waffle weave towel. I have a master blaster but really only use it on the bike. Guess I'll give it a shot on the car.
