Suggestions? Needs to be able to easily go mobile
 
My $30 leafblower does the job just fine. I'll eventually buy a master blaster, but will probably wait for a real good sale to do that. I'd look into a leaf blower!
 
That's what I was thinking, electric would be best, but unsure of what model I have a home depot and lowes close to me
 
Anything from Stihl. Best equipment you can get in terms of lawn and garden stuff IMO.
 
of course get the highest mph electric blower u can find . toro and craftsman have one that can go 240mph . I had one that only did like 180 and was useless . I now have a master blaster. if u or any interested in trade of some kind I have a brand new craftsman 240mph blower - electric- never used I'll be willing to deal . pm me .
 
My Troy built electric blower is great, it has 240 mph, and 450cfm.bought it from lowes. Plenty to do what you need. If you haven't thought of this already stay away from gas, most are very prone to leaking fuel/oil if turned in any position other than upright. You might also check out sears if there is one near.

I disagree..a 240 mph blower is heavy and bulky. When you get to the lower panels and bumpers it will blow crap from the ground. I have a $40 Craftsman that blows around 150 mph and it does the job. If you use the flood method to rinse there won't be much water to dry.
 
I picked up a ShopVac that also doubles as a blower. The vacuum "head" comes off and turns into a very nice leaf blower. Double duty, I like it! Vacuums up dirty nasty interior and blow dry the outside.

yes it may be heavier and bulkier . a 150mph will blow enough crap of the ground also . but then again the ground is gonna be wet from washing/rinsing so there is a lesser chance of flying debris right there. also u have a blower in your hand why not blow the blacktop/concrete before hand . so then those of us that use a master blaster I guess it's just not good cause that blows almost 660 mph . too much debris flying around ? I've have used a 150 mph blower. it's better than nothing, I agree . using the sheeting method greatly reduces the standing water on panels, I agree . I just find a leaf blower while it will do the Job slowly still have to use towels also . being that I use a master blaster now that's all I need so I just figured having a blower of the highest mph you can get , while not even close to a mb , should help the most in drying your vehicle. not everyone can afford or even justify in having a mb though .
 
I bought this TroyBilt at Lowe's a couple of years ago. It's light and works very well, all for $50.00. :dblthumb2:

Here is a blower from Chemical Guys you don't hear much about but looks interesting. I have seen it in pictures on a few of the members post. Maybe they could chime in and give their opinion. ELECTRIC BLOWER JETSPEED DRYER BLOW DRYER It would be nice if AG could offer these if the interest warranted.
 
I've been researching these things to death trying to find which one to get. Right now I have a cordless 18V leaf blower that really isn't powerful enough to move a decent amount of water. I think I've decided on the Metro Air-Force Commander. It seems to be the perfect compromise of power, portability, and price. The CG blower is a great design and size, but reviews tend to say its not very powerful.
