I use the same Troy leaf Blower I use on my lawn. I do not use it for the entire car. Just the vents, side mirrors, front grill and rear end. Now, some are going to say that using a leaf blower will blast sand and dirt into your paint. I have not had that problem.
No. Cordless have much less power than corded. Tried them. Corded leaf blowers have the most wind output hands down. Not as easy, just much better. 300+mph output on the Toro.
I bought a dewalt 20v leaf blower for job clean ups. Use it to blow off the C7 after washing and love it. Not quite as powerful as a gas blower but doesn't need to be, just blowing off water So much handier and quieter than messing with a gas blower. Use it to blow grass clippings off driveway and sidewalks etc after mowing. Comes with their longest use 5ah battery that last a long time. Rarely use my gas model anymore. Spend the money, forget about it and be happy
Electric blower. I think it's a Toro. It has variable speeds, and when set to high it really blows the water out of gaps. Dries the car in no time then I go over it again with Chemical Guys towels and Griots quick wax spray.
I have an Echo gas blower I use around the house, but use the Toro for the cars. It's been great for over 12 or so years now. I've gone through 2 gas blowers in the ame time.
Corded Toro blower. I had a Stihl BG55 and a 40v Ryobi battery blower Neither have the power of the corded Toro. Works excellent where they other two don't have the same power.
What he said all the way. I've tried others too, but the Toro corded blower is the only one with enough power. Stay away from the cordless ones for sure. They suck big time.
We have a top end Toro electric leaf blower. At the time we bought it, the manufacturer claimed it was as powerful as any hand held gas mower on the market. I have had problems starting gas blowers at times and then you have to mess with mixing the gas and adding it to the blower. We haven't used our gas blower for years. For drying a car, I think the Toro electric blower is the best option.
Toro electric works great + no smoke and gas fumes in the garage.

The corded Toro has also worked well for me for years. The inconvenience factors of having to fill my gas blower, deal with the heat and fumes while using it and then letting it cool and draining the fuel when done create an unneeded chore when drying the car.
