Blower for drying anyone tried this one?

[daddycreswell]

I was looking for a blower to dry off the Bronco after cleaning. I've seen the $200.00 and up ones and I will not pay that much for one. Of course I hit up Amazon and I ran across this one, 50 bucks and gets decent reviews. Thinking I might pull the trigger on it, any else bought this?Mini blower

I use $100 2 cycle leaf blower, I have been for years and most of the people I know who are professional detail guys use the same thing.

The convenience of something being small is nice until you need something big. Keep that in mind

The big boi uses filtered heated air

I've had a few coreless one in the past. They aren't powerful as corded ones.
I don't see the wind speed mentioned on yours. But get a corded blower if you can.

My corded blower is rated at 155mph.
It is able to blow liquid off my ceramic coated cars easily.
Though it gets harder to blow off liquids as the coating wear out.

I have been using my blower to dry my cars for at least 15years. I feel it’s one of the most important tools to properly dry a car so all the water is out of the seams and such so you get zero drips after you drive away. I use a mf towel to dry the body and the blower is to blow out all the water that’s hidden.

A gas one? I had read not to use a gas one because it might blow oil on it. I've been hoping to run across a battery powered one cheap somewhere.

Oh definitely not gas. That will blow crap all over it. I either use my corded one that has heated air or my Makita cordless depending on what I grab.

this will work fine if you don’t want to spend a lot.

Or any cheap cordless blower on Amazon will work. Just have enough batteries

I've been using gas leaf blowers on cars and bikes for 25 years. I fail to see how it will get oil all over things assuming you are running the correct mix ratio. The air inlet and exhaust are opposite sides of the blower - on my Stihl anyway. That said, if I were shopping I'd probably pick up a rechargeable. No fuel to mess with and you can run it indoors without the smell.

I dry the whole vehicle first then do the 75mph blow dry then come back and go over the water spots with the damp microfiber towel. Works pretty good.

DYI.....
Have a leaf blower? Mod your wet vac attachment or create a new nozzle end for you blower.
