Default leaf blower

does anyone else use a leaf blower to get the water out of the cracks and crevises of there car after you wash it? I didnt want to drive my car for a couple of hours after washing it because there would be water spots on the back of my car and on my wheels even after I dried it, so i though about useing the leaf blower on my trunk and wheels and then drying the car with my chamie and it works great. my wife thinks I am alittle crazy but oh well....

The only blower I use is the one under the hood. 75mph normally does the job, plus it's quicker and more fun than a leaf blower

LOL... totally thought this thread was about something else...

FYI: 'LEAF BLOWER' is usually the term in the mustang world used to describe the Procharger F1...

No to the leaf blower, however i know many that do. I do the same thing NVRL8 does and I use my air compressor. Not on the Mustang since it has only been washed once in 1.5 Years since i purchased it. But i do use this method on my F-150 and other cars. I do use the air compressor and some detail spray in the engine bay and to get the dirt out of the honeycomb grill area.
