Leaf blowers

[01TriBlack]

Okay, I've seen many, many people talk about how great these are for drying our cars. I've got a black car and it is a royal pain in the arse to dry it with towels. I tried the leaf blower once and I didn't think it was really blowing the water off or drying it very well. When do you use the leaf blower? Immediately after washing or do you use it after a cursory wipe down with towels?

First you need to have plenty of glaze (wax) on it...Then I use my 125 mph blower...then just a quick (hardly any)towel

That's one way. One thing you have to be careful with that is that when you do it you can blow out some dirt from beind the emblems. Then if you go to wipe you can be grinding the dirt into your paint. Here's another way to do it: How To Dry Your Corvette With Water. That's an interforum link to a video that I did.
