I don't wash my car, but I use a leaf blower on it before I use my California Duster. It's great for getting some of the larger dirt particles off the rear of the car around the taillights and license plate area.

purchased the electric toro 215 mph blower today and blow dried the vette. Neighbors are used to different things, did not look twice.

Are the Toro leaf blowers electric or do they come in electric?

My Home Depot has a selection. I'm sure Lowe's does too. Here are their specs:

I went with the Black and Decker because it had more wind. It was also slightly cheaper.
