Leaf blower to remove excess water prior to drying?

The 120 volt Worx Turbine 600 works great, and it doesn't blow carbon and oil like the two cycle leaf blowers.

Many years ago a guy on the Audi forum (Edward P, I think) demonstrated how to dry your car with water from the hose (stay with me here). I was skeptical but I've been doing it for the past 15 years and it gets 90% of the water off without having to blow or wipe anything:
1. Turn off the water, then remove the spray nozzle from your hose
2. Turn on the flow of water, maybe a half or 3/4 turn so it's slowly coming out of the hose
3. Hold the end of the hose about 4-5 inches over your car and slowly "wipe" the water off of your car with the slowly falling water (I hold one hand on the metal hose connection so I don't accidentally hit the car with the metal part on the hose). If the water splashes and creates drops when it hits your paint, turn it down a bit.
4. Notice the falling water pulls off most of the water on your car and you're left with only small drops to wipe up. If a lot of water is still clinging to the paint after you do this it's probably time for new wax.

Like my fine important wool carpet I park my special wishes P car on I only drive her with a lead car ahead of me. It too was special ordered with a Euro designed and uniquely equipped quite large air filter. This serves to not only break wind but filter it. My gas mileage has improved, which nearly pays for the added expense of the car and driver.
For those in Riolinda this is satire.
