...tried my corded leaf blower for first time yesterday and just ended up wiping it down in the end with a chamois but I can say that it got the bulk of water off the car, after that it was a simple wipe down...so wouldn't go out and buy a cordless blower just for car drying I mean geez what next...special "synthetic oil" , top tier gas, engine mods....when will the madness end
Actually harbor freight is having this huge parking lot sale and have one on there for near 75% off so figured why not...and that's the only reason...

If you have a good coat of sealant on the car a leaf blower will get 95% of the water out. I barely need to use a waffle weave towel just use it to suck up some water droplets.

EGO 110 MPH 530 CFM Variable-Speed Turbo 56-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Electric Blower-LB5302 - The Home Depot
56V battery, fully charges in 45 minutes or less. check the CFM's - the 40V ones can't cut it.

after trying Hrdr02 spray sealant, the water just flies off the car. like water on your windshield on the highway with Rain-X on it ...

eh ... i'd check out something with more CFM's. you'll probably regret that 40V Ryobi.
the eGo (56V), Worx (56V), and Kobalt (80V) are the only ones i'd be shopping ...

Agreed, if you can afford it buy the master blaster it has heated air and multiple attachments, wheels on the unit, long hose etc. Much better than a leaf blower....but from a price comparison stand point a leaf blower will get it done. I own the Master Blaster you can shop around and get it for around 298 on sale. Its a one time cost and I have owned it for like 7 years...very sturdy quality build.

I paid 309 on Amazon, shipped. It's cheap insurance against swirls and scratches. IMO I'm ultra picky about my cars so I bit the bullet and dropped the coin. After watching my neighbor using his leaf blower on his Mercedes I know I made the right choice. But hey whatever works for you is cool, I'm not criticizing.(I also use my MasterBlaster to groom my German Shepherd, and to blow stuff off the walk and away from the bushes)

Another use: My wife dropped some water on one of my floor mats in my old car. I took out the master blaster and with the hot air basically dried it out completely within minutes..when I clean my garage I also use it to help and dry it out....
