How do you dry your car?
 
So i was reading on another forum on how people dry there cars. It seems like quite a few people are using a leaf blower to dry there cars off. Just curious what methods you guys/girls use to dry your cars off and if anyone has tried the leaf blower method.

I normally just use a normal towel to dry mine off.

I use a blower to get the water out of the all cracks and wheel lugs. Then i use a chamois to get the left over water off.

Steeda97 05-05-2008 04:18 PM

I use free flowing water for my final rinse, then use a leaf blower to get the hard places (hood scoop, trunk, wheels, tires) then use a microfiber towel.

tristang 05-05-2008 04:37 PM

i use a squeegy type thingy, and microfibers.

Same method as Steeda97, but I use the electric leaf blower over the entire car, then waffle weave as necessary.

Steeda97 05-05-2008 06:27 PM

Well yeah i use the leaf blower over the whole car. But its especially good around those trouble areas.

I use the absorber, works well for me.

one of you guys should market your own prototype of a handheld car dryer. Probobly make a lot of money selling to maniacs for their cars like us!

I'm still using Mr Clean Autodry. It's worked for me from the day I got it. No waterspots no drying. The soap is what makes the water run right off. No beading. I was worried it might be stripping off the wax. But after it's dried, you can hose her down and the water will bead up like normal.. Some times I don't even have to finish with the filter mode. Although I do have get the gallon of water from the honey comb scoop. I just put my chamois against it for a while and it's all dry..

Anyone else use this.? My paint job hasn't shown any ill effects after 4 years. But I do finish up with some speed shine and micrfiber towels. :)

I use this too, no paint issues that I can tell. I used it once, and didn't use the finish filter, and had water spots every where, so will use it every time again. No bad for $20 bucks, and another $10 bucks every once in a while.

Be careful with leaf blowers as they dont filter the air. There is car and motocycle specific blowers.

I put a filter on the intake of my blower to be on the safe side
