Leaf blower hose attachment

I use my 4 Stroke Gas Backpack Blower....
Dolmar Blowers

The Handheld would probably also work (320 cfm vs 720 cfm) - but the backpack version definitely does wonders in blowing water of cracks and seams:props:
 
I just built my own Turbo Dryer with some parts from the plumbing dept of Home Depot and a 2.5" vacuum hose---

Thanks. I ordered one last night. Never used a blower before, but had a ceramic coating applied last week. I was having a hard time deciding between the Turbo and the Metrovac BC3D. Ultimately, went with the Turbo. Excited to try it out. My neighbors will go crazy. :)

I've never attempted to fully blow dry a vehicle before [mainly because I don't own a full size Master Blaster] but the times I've gotten in trouble always seem to happen whenever I delay towel drying/blow out cracks & crevices 1st. I find that trying to dry dryer paint simply results in a harsh situation compared to quikly going over a completely wet vehicle right after sheeting. IMO It just feels so much safer that way. Trying to dry those last bits always results in trying to rub spots everywhere.

A detailer suggested that after blowing the car off, dab the remaining spots instead of rubbing.

Well yea, that works great on my vehicle, since there's always a nice coat of "wax" on it, but I'm talking about customers vehicles, which may not be up to par as far as being able to bead, sheet, & prevent water spots from being an issue. Not too long ago I detailed a 6 day old black Dodge Ram Truck.. I didn't think I'd have a problem blowing out 1st since it was new [bad assumption] But when I finally got around to drying with the towel there were dry water spots all over the truck. I had to spray the whole truck with D114 and basically waterless wash the whole thing all over. Not a pleasurable experience on a brand new black truck with virgin, swirl free paint. Lol.

Up until recently I would always blow out 1st, then follow up with the towel on my own cars.. But since it only takes about 3 min. to dry the majority of the paint with a waffle weave I've been doing the towel step 1st lately.
