Not really. It can run on a 15 amp service. Best is 20 amp.

Master blaster or leaf blower. These can also work pretty well from what I hear but I haven’t used them.

Are you running the 8hp version?
With both motors it pulls something like 18amp.

Only on Rennlist can you have someone ask a detailing question and get a series of $80-400+ answers alongside a 0.01-cent solution.

With that said, perhaps it's time to buy a blower...

Yes. And it's on a 20 amp service. It can run on 15 too if not much else is on that breaker.

I don't let my car get wet. Don't need that showing up on Carfax because depreciation. If you use the wrong type of water or if you blow your car off outside of Porsche recommended humidity tolerances then the dealer will deny any warranty work. And the IMS on 991.2 will implode.

because spending 400 on a blower is crazy, but 100k plus for a car is not....

I got the pocket blower.
Really great for those tight situations.
