Get a plug in leave blower had a battery operated you end up rushing before the battery dies. The stronger the better

Love my Master Blaster from Metro Vac. Pricey but does the job. Hose is much lighter than a hand held blower.

my Milwaukee 5.0 battery won't die before finishing the car... would take like an hour (I've done it blowing leaves in the yard)

That's a lot cheaper than the dual 18V battery Makita. It's a nice blower but it's also $330...better be nice.

Depending on how hard your water is ( assuming you do not have an inline filter system) it will be proportional to the water spots ....

I am thinking about the Master Blaster. Yes it is pricey, but reviews have been very good.
