Blown away drying my car

Just used my new Toro 215 mph #51591 leaf blower to dry the car. Wow! I'm sure the Zaino layers from weeks back have alot to do with it, but the water just shot right off of the car. I was done in no time. I'll never dry it another way. I'm sure the neighbors think I'm crazy, but this is one of the best tricks/tips I've ever heard of.

I like to take a quick lap around the block as well... another idea could be using compressed air to get the car dry, especially where it puddles around the grille

I've got the Toro 215 too. Bought it just for the car.

But, I've only got to use it once, haven't washed it since the say I brought it home.

Get the D**N thing out from under the car cover in the garage and drive it, then maybe you will NEED to wash it

Anyone see that episode of Mythbusters where they made a hovercraft out of leaf 200mph blowers?? It didnt work very well.... But I think they just needed more of them....

We have compressed air blowers at my work for cleaning lawnmowers and stuff. I think it would take a really long time to dry a car with it.
