I'm about to make the purchase. Anybody have any favorites or ones to stay away from. The battery powered cordless ones are appealing, I just want to make sure they are powerful enough to do the job right.

Maybe the gas ones are the way to go. No cords and plenty of power.

IMO Opinion the Toro Super Blower is hands down the best, 215 MPH. It has a true variable speed switch the others use an air choke.

Gas is going to give you throttle control and you will get extra shine from the two stroke smoke you blow all over your car.

I use a broom.

Some people also use leaf blowers to get the water out of tight spaces on their car after washing it, so that it doesn't drip out hours later and leave water spots... broom wouldn't work too well for that

I'll check out the Toro Super Blower. Now if I could just find a hooters girl with that name I'd be set.

I was looking at the toro too... I can see how much they are at work tonight if you want. (wish we got a discount though )

and speaking of hooters when's our next hooters meet?

Toro as well - they should be on sale this weekend everywhere. Aside from opening the door and wiping it down, it does get the water out of small crevases like around lights and door handles.

Would that be synthetic or natural bristle?

Good one

YES, you are buckko!!!

I understand the reasoning - to reduce scratching the car while drying it. But I wonder how much more pitting you end up with over time from blowing small particles of dirt at your car @ 200mph? There is ALWAYS a trade-off.

I would use it more for the cracks end lil crevices the water likes to get into, thought more about a california water blade for quick drying otherwise.

To dry the car start at one end of the street, stomp gas and hold on, then repeat as needed

Hey rick i have heard good things about the toro. Saposed to be the best out there.

I would also look into honda.................they blow

I highly doubt there is any long term pitting issues. Take my car or previous cars as examples. They get washed once a week minimum. That comes out to over 125 washes in the two plus years I had the black WS6 and you know how it looked. It only takes one swipe with a towel that has debris in it or over something stuck to the car and you are screwed. At least the blower eliminates that. Trade-offs, no way on this one.

You know over the years I have found renting a blower to be much cheaper then buying one long term In the end you feel married to it and Un-forfilled

Ok, if anyone is pitting their paint by using their leaf blower it only means one thing: they pulled a Tim Allen on it first.
