Any recommendations for an electric blower/drying tool?

Thanks

I believe MetroVac makes one that Chemical Guys recommends and/or sells in their site/stores. Go to www.metrovacworld.com. I was looking around myself.

I've used one of those "master blaster" things and they work well. Kind of expensive tho

Light scratches “spider webs” are possible when you use any type drying towel on the paint. A blow dryer is what the pro’s use, and there is reason why. That’s also the reason detailers offer paint correction services.

Default Check Out Bigboi BlowR Machines

Check out our line of Bigboi BlowR Machines from Australia. We first tested these about 18 months ago, finding that we liked them over the MetroVac machines for several reasons:
.
  • Much quieter
  • Much better, more flexible hose
  • Lighter
  • More compact
  • Ability to have an extra long hose and wall mount

No but thought I would mention, after fooling with all sorts of windshield/window cleaning products and methods and never being satisfied, I finally bought a modestly priced steam cleaner and it worked like magic...had all windows spotless inside and out in 10 minutes and it only uses distilled water so no residue left to attract more "stuff"...highly recommended.

Nothing cleans better than a simple set of Norwex window cloths. They come in pairs; a "wet" cloth which is more fibrous and weighty, and a "dry" cloth which has a very small weave to it. Take my word for it, these things will do wonders for your glass. And they're cheap, believe it or not.
