Default leaf blower

i use a small hand held blower got it from the chemical guys. bout twice the size of a hair dryer has a all rubber nozzle and if switched around can b used as a vac { witch i never did so i dont know how that works } but as far as blowing its great, small, and cheap if i remember it was 49.99 worth every penny blows like a leaf blower in a tenth of the size

I tried something similar to what you're describing but ultimately bought a full size leaf blower and then a master blaster. The small blower/vac was ok but took forever and just doesn't move the air (or heat it) like the blaster. Of course the blaster is a few hundred bucks, but was worth it to me. To each his own!

6 months ago, I would have said that a leaf blower would be fine. And for $50 bucks, it certainly can do the trick. But then others convinced me to get/try the Master Blaster. All I can say is Wow! It now takes half the time and the car is completely dry. I love the MB.
