Home Depot or Lowes sell the 220 mph for like 60 bucks. I blow off the driveway, then the car after washing it. No water spots, gets the water out of the windows, and the wheels. I have 3 sons that used the shammy's and towels. Guess what they use now? My blower, and they have dark cars, Black GTP- Red Jeep- Green 4 runner Just a electric one, 4 min on the wheels and 3 min on the car. Less than 10 min total

-When vehicle is fully cleaned, allow a slow, steady stream of water to flow over each panel...sheeting the majority of the water off
-Use the leaf blower to blow all water from flat surfaces, mirrors, lights, etc.
-Remove any remaining water with a waffle weave drying towel and detail spray

^^^ Best process of all I have tried.
I like the waffle weaves that Tropi-care carries .. they are my favorite towels, next to some blue ones I bought from a guy's shoppe that can't sell on here anymore..

nothing wrong with a gas powered blower been using one for years, some people may complain and say they shoot out greasy air but i haven't noticed anything. I need a car with a nice paint job so I can start taking pictures and detailing my car the right way, I dont care right now because of how shitty the paint job is!

I'd rather not have a chance of gas and/or oil residue being left on the finish.

I've been using the absorber but now that I really look at it I notice tiny swirl marks. It's almost impossible to find anything that doesn't leave marks on a black Z. I'll have to try the blower, have one in the garage and never thought to use it before. 
I'll let you know the results when this damn rain stops.
