Got a set of used flow forms for winter tires. Going with 19s so I can some more meat. Powdered coated to gun metal, looking to replace the center caps.
On that subject, what size shoes should I get for these? It’s 8.5x19 and 11x19 for a .1 base C.
Soul Performance sticker... for my pick up. It’s good for at least +10 HP.
Compact but powerful blower to dry the car. Cordless! The and the whole tip is a soft, pliable synthetic rubber that won't hurt the paint. Less than $100 and it also works great to blow the leaves off the deck without a 100' extension cord. I love it!! Gets the water out of the mirrors too. I won't miss drying with microfiber towels sprayed with lubricating detail spray. Not one bit.

Including battery? That's usually the deal breaker for me. Between Hitachi, Ryobi, Milwaukee, Makita, the list goes on, the different batteries drive ya nuts.
No battery... Milwaukee has sales events where the representatives set up tents (like in Home Depot). I found them exhibiting at an electrical contractor and since I have a few M18 batteries for my other power tools, they gave me a smoking deal on this blower with a circular saw instead of another battery/charger. Regardless, even a full price with a battery, it is worth the money. It is light, powerful enough to dry a truck and IF you mess up and hit the paint with the end, it won't hurt. Try holding a blower with a cord or a long hose up high enough without hitting the sides of your car. I thought it was worth posting as it is a new product from Milwaukee and it is a nice size. It also uses their premium battery pack that they run in all their commercial tools. 5 year warranty too.

They also make a MUCH more powerful version of this (model 2724-20) for about the same price. 450 CFM/120 MPH vs 100 CFM/160 MPH. I know this might be blasphemy here, but in blowers faster is not always better - its all about how much air it pushes and the bigger one pushes 4.5 times more air. Down side is it weighs twice as much and doesn't have the soft tip (but glueing a piece of foam or wrapping it with electrical tape solves that)
That is true about the cfm, however when drying my car previously with a leaf blower, I sand blasted the side unintentionally when I dipped the end down towards the driveway. I hate doing stupid damage! I'm basically a klutz some days.

Good point about sandblasting - maybe less is more here !
I have 991.1 base C on 19" wheels from the factory.
Tire sizes are:
235/40/19
295/35/19
Should be the same size tires for Winters I would think.

Mine became intermittent on engagement in reverse (ie screen did Not switch to camera). Then bought some trim removal tools and a T25 and Voila. Fixed.
Holy cow I’m beat, 7 hours of paint correction. Took delivery last week, 3,100 miles but sat outside on dealer lot for 2 months. Water spots galore, but I got them all off.
