I use this one 220 cfm, light compact and the short attachment has a silicone tip built in. Very easy to use and plenty of power to dry the car.

The Ryobi looks like a useful tool for detailing purposes. Thanks for the recommendation.

I tested the 220 CFM Ryobi. It's a beast. Very powerful and I'm using the 6Ah battery which last through the drying of the entire car. Comparing it to the Shernbao High Velocity Car & Motorcycle Dryer Blower, the Ryobi is at lease 3x more powerful. I'm very impressed.

Get a stubby nozzle for your leaf blower, much easier to handle than have the long snout on it. https://stubbynozzles.com/

So as I stated in one of the earlier posts, I have an 18v Ryobi "Shop Blower" - have used it for years to get the majority of the water off. From this thread, I came to know about the newer more powerful Ryobi brushless version. I checked out the HD website for the new tool, and in one of the Q&A posts there's a link to a youtube review where the guy is specifically using it for auto detailing. After watching the review, I pulled the trigger on this new one - looks like it does a better job and will help me to dry vehicles faster.
Here's a link to the review where you can how well it works when used on the reviewer's ceramic coated Porsche Carrera:

Just then a guy wearing a nice Ryobi shirt walks up to me and asks if I need some help. I told him that this is not the blower I am looking for and I am going to use it for my vehicles. Right away he says "I know the one you want" He then mentions that
there was a Youtube video on it and they have been having a hard time keeping them in stock. Too funny. Iturns out that the Ryobi rep is stationed at the store 40 hours per week.

Then it would have to be equivalent to a hurricane. The Ryobi is very powerful and only $100. Best bang for the buck.
