Last night, I washed both our cars for the first time in about a month, give or take. It was long-overdue.

Here's the wife's X3... Gotta say, I like that Phytonic Blue Metallic color.




And, I almost ran out of light, but finished the Lexus just in time.

 

what do you use to dry the back? Water gets in all those seams

 

lol I just drive it once and touch-up after. I am not super **** about drying - I typically have to hit it with some detailer spray afterwards either way to clean up minor water spots and spray from tires, etc. I just use microfiber towels.

 

ill be honest. Lexus did the tint for me and I asked for the same a grey hue versus blue/brown . I can ask them what they put on for me.

 

try the master blaster car dryer. Can get on Amazon or Adam’s polishes

 

Those are like $400 - $600 which is insane to dry one's car. I use my leaf blower to blow water out of the crevices..

 

garage as clean as the car 🔥

 

I have 4 cars and 2 motorcycles to dry but even if I only had 1 car. I would invest in it. To each their own, right?

 

I have the dewalt leaf blower and it does so so. I can spend 20 minutes on the rear and still drip

a friend of mine recommend to try this. Going to get the car ceramic coated soon so maybe that will help too .

 

Agreed, it isn't going to dry 10x better than a $50 leaf blower. I ordered a big 800+ CFM one and it was still like $75 or something. Dries the car very well.
A ceramic coat helps for sure, but door sills and the trunk wing still get a little drippage going. I have to dry the door sills with a cloth.

 

have you tried the master blaster? I have it and I have a leaf blower. I can attest to the fact the master blaster is FAR superior to a leaf blower.

 

I have not... wasn't something that needed to be upgraded for me. I can already dry my car in a few minutes with a leaf blower. Plus, I pull it in the garage and wipe it down with detail spray after I dry it so even if I miss a spot with the leaf blower I will get it afterward still.

No judging for buying one, just wasn't a purchase for me 🙂 I think my next big purchase will end up being an electric pressure washer when mine finally dies. It's like 11 years old and still chugging along somehow.

 

Oh my goodness! Where have you been?! How’s the fam and how many miles do we have now?! 😜

 

Mid-autumn Saturday drive.

 

I was out running errands and just liked the look of these gold leaves behind the car. 😂
