I've got a blower attachment for my Ryobi gas powered weed whacker. No exhaust through the blower to worry about. I haven't used it to dry the car yet but I'll try it this weekend if it ever stops raining.

OK, I have tried it all.

I like to use a good soap for lubrication.

I like like to rinse with plane or filtered water.

I squeegee off most of the water.

I use the leaf blower to get the tires, wheels and crevices but you can chase a single drop of water for ever.

Then I use my absorber to finish.

My big microfibers towels which I buy at Big Lots for $5 work well for removing wax. I suspect they would work well for drying water also.

Then I go drive it and get all dirty again!

Especially the tail light cavity and rear end in general.
