I use a battery powered leaf blower on my black Z06. When I used my gas blower, the exhaust from the motor was vented into the air stream and I didn't like spraying any unburned oil/gas onto my clean car, to each their own.

Find the best filter you can...... if you do it in a dust storm.

Ask your significant other, how much faster her hair dryer works on the heated setting as opposed just room temp air?

My experience as well-I keep my cars well waxed so the water just blows off and I do a touchup with a microfiber towel. I use my Toro cordless leaf blower and have no cords to mess with. I always wash/dry my car in the garage which has floor drains so I'm not picking up outside dirt/dust when drying with the blower.

It would take a huge amount of dust and particles in the air to cause any issues using a leaf blower. I witnessed an owner of an exotic car use one on his and the paint is absolutely emaculate. He drives it a lot and washes the car monthly.

Been doing that for years, specially around blowing the water out of the side mirrors and rear hatch and door jams.
