Hey guys...

Just curious if anyone knows of a high powered, on the affordable side leaf blower/ thing I can use to dry my car after washing... especially all the water that sits in the inner barrel of my wheels. I can see this being a great tool to assist me wash a better car. I do need a battery operated one though, as I don't have the luxury of washing in a driveway or near my house.

Thanks!!!

i use a 5 gallon compressor

i tried the whole leave blower thing and noticed it wasnt really strong enough to move all the water out.

i bought myself a toro leafblower from home depot recently. still getting the technique down but it works pretty well. no drips leftover

sure cordless is convenient, but the power won't be constant/strong enough. i'm sure you can find some sort of power outlet to plug into.

I bought a electric blower from Sears last year for 30.00.. I use it mostly for the driveway after the lawn and have used it once on the car.. Works pretty well and affordable..

I have one of those corded blowers. Works great only if the car is waxed.

I only know electric (corded) and gas leaf blowers. I don't recall any sort of battery operated ones. I was given an electric made by Toro one which does really good especially in the crevices. I then use one MF towel to get any leftover spots.

absorber for the body of the car and then a electric leaf blower for the wheels to get them spotless.

Makita makes an 18volt battery operated blower. Runtime approx. 30 minutes.

Never use a compressor. Since the compressor inside has a motor that needs oil, it will shoot out oil when you spray.

Not bad. How's the power of it?

Yup Exactly Joe...All that really frustrates me is the stubborn water that settles in the inner barrel.

Don't have a place I can plug into an outlet. I was my car at do-it yourself car wash....wish I had a nice driveway to do it in

i also never had problems using a air compressor spitting out oil.

absorber rocks.

I've had this one for years and it works good enough for me.
Also have the matching cordless 18 volt string trimmer,hedge trimmer(which sucks) and drill so I have a few chargers and 4 batteries.
