I prefer a hand held 2 stroke leaf blower.

Washing: I have been looking at getting a deionizer for a while, but just can’t decide on which one to get. I've looked at some of them that people have mentioned in other threads and today saw the Adam’s Portable Spotless Water Deionizer. For a spot free rinse, do people use these with their...

I prefer gas 2 stroke also. More air CFM/MPH and time at max throttle for your $. Also no problems with extreme temps or being rained/snowed on. My 5+ year old Husqvarna 125b sits in the truck year round. I don't want to even say how old the gas is it's run on.

If no your truck is not protected with ceramic coated or any other protectant, the leaf blower is pretty useless. I use mine to get water out of the trim, emblems, and wheels mostly

Works fine with a coat of wax. I do towel off but minimum effort and water.
Battery power - not so great
Hand held, 2 stroke, used 1 Echo and 2 Stihls - work best
Back packs - blasts but bulky.

Agree it does work well with mirrors and emblems.

Battery powered 80-82V has the same power as Gas powered blower, i suggest Greenworks Pro or Kobalt.

I have a Worx electric so I don’t have to fire up the gas backpack. Blows up the grille and mirrors and if you take your time the rest of the truck. Still have to towel off afterwards.

We had a Master Blaster at one of the motorcycle shops I worked at years ago. It was a beast and dries really well, but dang $$$$.
