Our Grill holds a lot of water. After drying the car there is still a bunch of potential drips. I use an rubber tipped blow gun on a air compressor to blow it all out and towel it off. Works great.

 

Yeah, compressed air has always been my friend when I wash any car at home.

if only i had compressed air

 

For now I'm using a leaf blower, also great for the wheels.

 

Shop Vac. I use a shop vac to get all of the water out of my mirrors and the ram air hood (non functional) that is on my Grand Am- works OUTSTANDING.

 

compressed air for me also...works great

 

Mr. Clean FTW!

 

Because of this post! I spent $300+ in the past few hours! I bought an air compressor online and picked it up at the store. I think it's a great deal..the sale ends on the 28th..

The air tools that come with it are really robust and heavy duty, I'll test it out this weekend.

Oh! and if you buy one online, don't forget to add the bonus free 50' hose and reel during checkout! A couple reviewers said they didn't get it from the store because they didn't add it to the basket...

 

DUDEEEEEE I have been eyeing that for the last 2 days... Its in my Sears Cart as well... Going to be good to get 15% off it too! and the free hose...

 

Just was at a drive in bay and use spot free rinse, then drive the car back home All you'll need to do is a few swipes here or there to dry.

Of course this assumes you are not too far from the wash.

 

The areas that drip on me the most are the chrome piece, the tail lights, and the side mirrors. No air compressor, FTL!

I also tried the leaf blower method but it didn't work too well. 1 HP, FTL as well
