Here’s a question for you guys that DON'T like the Leaf-Blower.
Do you use Zaino?
Zaino users seem to be the most fanatical about the blowers.

We’ve been having a really RAINY summer here and I’m far behind on my usual car care routine.
I washed the car Saturday for the first time in weeks and the blower didn’t work all that well.
That’s because it’s been several MONTHS since my car has seen any Z-Treatments.
When that “super slippery” surface starts to deteriorate, the blower just isn’t as effective.

 

seeing someone use a leaf blower looks so :ghey:

 

I've seen the way Zaino sheets water... Blackfire makes water sheet in the exact same way. So, at least for me, I can see where you're going with this...

I just don't feel that walking around the car with a leaf blower is going to make me any better off versus using the BB II. Granted I might not get every drop out of wheels or window areas, but really... Is a drop or two going to make that much of a difference?

I can dry my car in very little time with this product. While it might not get every last drop, it's way too convinient a product to not use.

 

The only benefit I could see is it's much less likely to scratch a car with a leaf blower versus the BB II. But if you're careful with the towel, the risk is minimal.

 

any car that's got a good coat of wax on it will sheet water

 

see, I think there is more of a chance to scratch w/ a leaf blower, because the chances of you kicking up dirt from the ground are more likely.

 

Shawn's argument will be that it's no worse than driving 80mph on the highway...


I dunno. As long as you keep the thing pointed at the panels on the car, I don't see much harm that can be done. It'd be much easier to trap something underneath a towel and scratch the paint that way, IHMO. But being careful, the risk is low IMHO.

 

thats whats happeneing when i blow dry my car now, i'm blowing dirt onto the paint

thats why i bought these big blues
