What do you find is the most efficient way to dry our cars?
????
|
I use an electric leaf blower to get the majority of the water off and then towel the remaining water off. You just need to make sure that the blower is clean (internally) or you could potentially spit harmful debris at your car.
I can completely dry my car in less than 5 minutes this way and it gets all the water out of the cracks that are hard to dry with a towel (I am still talking about the car). |
Thats what I do too. Is it bad if I use a gas blower?
|
Personally I think any blower is fine as long as it is clean internally. I know there are others on this forum that think this is risky. To me, as long as you know who used the blower last and how they used it (not sucking up sticks, etc), the risk should be minimal.
|
Yeah, I only use it for light yard work and my car.
|
I use the leaf blower also and finish it off with an Adam's great white drying towel and some detail spray. Just make sure all your towels are clean so you don't end up with swirls.
|
I have been thinking about using my Stihl blower instead of using a shami. Nothing would touch the car and it would do a more thorough job. My blower is clean as it is strictly used to blow the grass after cutting, however I am worried that something might get blown against the paint at 150 mph. I'm interested in what others have to say.

Dry it with water (water sheeting) and then an ELECTRIC leaf blower. If u use a gas leaf blower, particles and fumes from the exhaust will attach to the clearcoat of your car. Check video #4 here: Junkman's 2-Bucket Wash Technique - Detailing World If u are gonna use a towel, pat the car dry, don't drag it across the paint... but for 30 bucks I would get a leaf blower and use it only for the car http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...5&blockType=G5 Hope that helps :tup:
