Celica Forums General Discussion General Drying your car a different way :-) Anyone else try this?

ok guys laugh all you want, but I use a Black & Decker leaf blower for drying my car, yes it works great nothing beats 200 mph air and it's safe as long as you don't touch the car with the tip and scratch your paint.

Try it, you will love it, no spots, not a single one, just be careful and make sure all the dirt on the ground is clean first, or the dirt and stones may blow back onto your car. Works best in a cleaned paved driveway.

NOTE !!! MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS SUPER CLEAN AND NO DIRT IS IN THE UNIT OR ON THE CAR, WHEELS OR ANYTHING AROUND. IF THE UNIT IS NOT CLEAN AND YOU USED IT TO SUCK UP LEAFS IN REVERSE, THE UNIT COULD BLOW OUT ROCKS AND DIRT AND TEAR THE HELL OUT OF YOUR CAR'S BODY & PAINT JOB, WINDOWS OR ANYTHING ON IT @ 200 MPH. I"M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE

PLEASE USE COMMONSENSE. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW: You can use the leaf blower for fun too, when your outside and your girl bends over, hehehehe But only from a distance or you could blow her over. Note works best with free flowing dresses.

Awesome idea.

I don't have one, so I have to drive 200MPH down the highway to get the water off.

...
i guess its the same concept like those drive through car washes.. when i take my pop's '87 camry ...feels like your going through a wind tunnel or something and all the water just flying past

Yeah but I WOULD NEVER DRIVE MY CELICA THRU ONE OF THOSE . They destroy cars, I have yet to find one that is delicate and doesn't mess your car up in some way.

yeah, i have little scratches in my paint from one of those...grrrrrrrr

Try the leaf blower, but heed my warnings above ^^^^^

haha i gotta try that with my dads.

Yeah I always thought about trying that but wasn't too sure if I wanted to lol

the absorber works fine enough for me

how many psi that gives out

i don't have a leaf blower, how about my hair dryer???

Haha, only a Tim Talor hair dryer, but when it catches on fire look out.

i'll stick to towel drying.

I have done it works perfect epecially in those parts that you can get the water out like the door handles that every time you close the door water gets spilled.

GLad you call it out bro

interesting idea... if I had one I might have tried it

I'll have to weigh the positive against the negative here:

Positive: Dry the car quickly, and in all the quirky places.

Negative: Neighbours will think I'm a dumb ass.

Hmmm..

^^^^
haha im gonna do it just for that reason now!

or you could use the air gun hooked to an air compressor...i use that when i go to my parents house on the gravel to blow all the dust off.

I use my air compressor with an attachment that sprays out the pressurized air.
it doesnt have that much of a coverage for spraying though

Who gives a fuck what the neighbors think! Its your ride

I'm just that now all over the USA ppl will be drying there car with a leaf blower, I should put a vid out. I'll wait until hottie neighbors are outside to get a reaction.

I work at the Airport, I think I'll just park behind a jet and have him fire up the engines, no work for me at all

Yeah by by paint job, to much heat

i'll just stick to my leather towel...or cheesecloth

yum yum cheese, just no cloth part, now I'm hungry

What's this world coming too? I'm speachless...

hmm good idea

good idea

many ppl use leaf blowers, works great

Some drive through car wash owns my liscense plate cover... and bent the living hell out of the lisence plate

Since i've used towels

Could have fooled me.

I'm going to stick with hand drying. Kristen that leather cloth you were talking about...its called a chamois.
I hear its not that good for your car, but I don't have stratches, so I keep using it.

Thanks. I tried the chamois and it hated it. Leaf blower all the way! Word ya' ma Ig.
