Thumbs up Wish my car wash had one of these...

Used this in a car wash in Montana and it was great. Not a ton of air pressure, but nice for clearing the outside mirrors and other places water tends to settle:

Do you do your whole car with the blower? Or just to get where water has settled?

What's up with the serious posts? Do people really need help deciding how to dry their cars?!?

Wait... Wait... Wait... There's not supposed to be anything informational about this forum is there? I thought this whole gig was like the Comedy Channel, similar to the Man Show maybe, where I would write stuff and people laugh their a$$ off because I'm just to hilarious. Is this not that web site? Should I be spending my time elsewhere?

Don't answer that.
