Which brand/model do you use for drying off the car? Does it really matter? Any general buying tips?

I know it may seem odd to ask but I'm tired of buying products that don't work so well.

Thanks

Metro Vac VacnBlo....definitely the best for this type of work IMHO. Two functions in one machine.

Griots version is excellent as it includes some great attachments, a wall mount for the tools and the vacuum. Its what I use when I wash/dry my cars. I also use it to blow down the driveway after mowing.

No HTwo O

I am using a +10 year old Sears Craftsman with great results. Has 2 speeds.

Small, lightweight, inexpensive (even comes with spare brushes for the motor) and a strong airflow...but I don't think it would work well on leaves...just water on cars.

I'd use a unit called Airmax 2200 dryer...it's an amazing small blower that has two motors in it with 266cfm of output. It also filters the air and heats it to 40 degrees above ambient temp. It's the only one I recommend to clients.

27,000 RPM? Impressive.

Actually, it's used by dog groomers....
