Leaf blower for drying the car
 
I read about it and figured for the 70 bucks I'd try it. Holy Humpin does that ever work good especially around the mirors and turn signals, all that trapped water that always dripps on the car first time you take it out after a wax job is gone. Wish I would have bought 1 years ago.
Any body else use the leaf blower on their car?

Absolutely!!

My neighbors think I'm nuts.:rolleyes:


I vaccuum my garage floor, too.

Works especially well on motorcycles with all those nooks and crannies.

Please don't be using it at 7AM Saturday morning like my neighbor.

You're bloody nuts. Don't do it. Leaf blowers and Porsches don't mix:

I was just going to suggest that a leaf blower really cleans out good underneath the seats. Uhhh, forget it.:eek:

Guys with bikes have been doing it for years.. Hell yeah they work good.

Yep, I've used that technique for years.

It is a time saver; and gets moisture out of places that towel drying never could.

Since i already had the Makita 18V batteries and charger, this cordless wonder was a natural:

I have a shop vac that reverses as a blower. Works great getting H2O out of the tight spaces.

Or an air compressor and the blower nozzle would work too.

WTF? How does a leaf blower start your car, or anything else for that matter, on fire?
