Washed my car today and I remembered this thread so I took a video. Sorry if the video is shaky. I had a large blower on one hand and my phone on the other.
I'm really liking the Gtechniq Serum + Exo coating. It makes water shoot off like no other. Tried the leaf blower on my brother's car (coated with CQuartz and topped with Hydro2) and had no problem getting water off either, although not as quickly.
I used a single waffle weave towel to pick up any remaining water spots. After "drying" both cars, the towel doesn't even feel damp.

So I just found out about this new Cordless EGO blower http://www.homedepot.com/p/EGO-110-m...5302/206584690
Should I use this to dry my brand new 2016 Lexus? or would it scratch the paint cuase of the dust blowing?
The reason I have to go with this Cordless blower is because I don't have access to a power outlet since I live in an apartment. So everytime I wash my car I have to go to a DIY Carwash, so do you guys think I should get this Cordless Leaf Blower to dry the car at the car wash place?

I posted adding an elbow to the end of it on the previous EGO model. Measure the new EGO blower outlet tube to confirm it fits

I concur. We have about 5 sidekicks at the shop. About 2 years ago we switched to the 8hp (twin 4hp motor) metrovacs and have not touched anything since.
For those that already have the 8hp machines, I HIGHLY recommend to buy the upgraded swiveling front wheels, makes a world of a difference in maneuvering the machine around the vehicle with ease.
