Hello I might be in the wrong section but I am looking for a cordless blower probably leaf blower or the compact blower which is the best for Drying my car after a rainy night or actual washing my car doesn’t have to be 100% because I wipe off the rest just wants to get all the crevice out (door mirrors lights etc)please let me know and thank you
I bought a couple of months ago the Ego 765 cfm with 200 mph. I bought it for as much my yard as the cars. Incredible blower. On turbo one day it blew one of my size 14 shoe that was in the garage out of the garage as quickly as almost a leaf. Battery even on turbo last a very long time. It is the highest rated cordless blower. Had a Black & Decker before that broke and not even close. Bought the stubbie attachment off Amazon. Lighter and easier to maneuver while blowing the cars and has a soft rubber tip. Takes 60 seconds to do our RX and NX. I still go over with a towel that takes another 60 seconds.

I have used a similar Ego model for yard work for a number of years. This little stubby adapter is fairly new and works MUCH better for drying a car. I also have the Ego backpack and this style works better - for leaves or drying cars…
Wow forget about drying the car - I think I may get that one for the yard. Careful Mrbungle - don't blow the clearcoat off
You'd be surprised, hand-drying your car after a wash (without specialty drying sprays--ironic i know) is actually the worst thing for your paint as that's how and when scratches to the clear coat are made. I didn't realize this for years. Drying a freshly rinsed surface creates scratches, no matter what towel you use. The paint is most vulnerable.
If you take any cloth to your paint, there better be a lubricious chemical sprayed on the paint first.
That blower is a great idea. Not cheap though. Looks to be $300+ on most websites. Might be worth it though, just for the convenience and not scratching the car with a towel.

Been looking at a leafblower option for awhile now, but not really willing to drop $300 and the cheaper ones don't seem to have enough power. Would be great for drying the car and getting off all the pollen on my car too.
I bought a leaf blower for this same reason. Amazon. Arrived in one day. 60 bucks. 150 mph should be plenty...I wanted to shave off time from the "drying the car' process...Also it should be great for getting water out of the hard to reach places and crevices etc.

How's that unit working out for ya? And how long does the battery last?
I just received it yesterday lol. I did test it out and make sure it works. I charged up the detachable battery, only took like 45 mins to charge. I tested the blower and it is quite powerful. Lots of air flow power. Definitely enough to serve our purposes. There are 3 settings and even the lowest setting is sufficient IMO. I expect to get about 20 mins of continous use out of one charge on the max highest setting. That said, I dont think it should take longer than 10-12 mins or so to complete dry the car off with the leaf blower. I'll definitely report back when I do a full test on the car after a wash, which should be....tomorrow.
Best blower for drying car..!!!!
