That's a good looking blower.

Down boy down!!!!

 

Yea, but no need to dry your car afterwards. You use the CR Spotless to do your final rinse and let the car air dry, even if in direct sun. Zero particles in the water=zero water spots or drip marks. Just rinse and walk away!

 

Does it really work like that? Just leave it wet and zero spots? Sounds pretty unbelievable.

 

I watched the video, seems to work. In theory if there are no minerals in the water, it should dry spot free

 

Yes, it truly does. I have a client with one and a couple detailer buddies of mine (to include Greg Nichols from Reflections Detailing of Utah) have them too.

 

I gotta try the CR spotless, i burn through my waterless stuff too fast! My customers keep calling me for quick washes and i have to keep ordering more

 

I got a leaf blower a few weeks ago since it's been close to freezing here, it's been difficult getting a time to wash my car, drying it was painful. I'm sure my neighbors think I'm totally insane but it is a better way then using towels.

 

I noticed the car wash here installed blower tubes in the self service bays. First for me.

 

Now thats something id like to see! I wih the car washes around here did that /:

 

best way to dry the car...

Spray it with some waterless wash and use as many micro fiber towels as it takes to get it dry. Then take some megs ultimate wax and spry it on a dry micro fiber towel and go over the whole car again. Dun deal.

 

Mr Clean autodry car wash system. Don't know if they still sell it, but I've been using it on cars and bikes for years. Filters the water, sheets dry, no spots. Great on chrome.

 

I think they stopped selling but my neighbor has one. Always a great shine after, not a spot to be found!

 

I use the leaf blower method. I tried it after seeing some hoses that do the same thing at a car wash while I was travelling. I put some panty hose over the end and rubber band it to keep the sand sized stuff from hitting my car if anything that large should accidentally get in there. I'm careful though. Then I MF the rest of the car. Two for paint, one for jams, one for engine. They get washed after every wash as does the MF sponge I use while two bucketing. I can always tell when it's time to wax because while I'm hitting the car with the blower if the water doesn't fly off then wax it is. I always follow with a quick detailer in between waxes as well. The leaf blower works awesome on the wheels to get the water out of the lug holes and if you use wheel wax like I do it takes less than 10 seconds per wheel and you are done.

 

A local self service wash did this last summer, only $1 extra, and they give you a full minute.

If I'm washing my car at home, I'll use my STIHL leaf blower and then finish off with one towel.

 

I have not had that experience with the Absorber. I was them after every use. I use the Absorber to get most of the water off the surface, then finish up with Griot's Speed Detailer with the recommended microfiber towel.

 

I was always a little worried about that, but great idea, definitely going to use it.

 

Wash car in the rain. Let air dry. Shouldn't leave water spots.

 

quick towel dry an a 90mph run down the Freeway to blow away what you missed. LOL
