Has anyone tried any of the car driers? I’d like to find something to blow the water out of my mirrors after a wash. I use a leaf blower on my motorcycle but would have some trouble moving it around a truck. The driers I’ve seen online range from $85 to $400. Thanks
 
I hear ya there!! For the hidden parts I’ll use my air compressor. Or even my shop vac, which does impressively well
 
Air compressor hose. Battery powered leaf blower. Good quality clean microfiber towel with a drying aid of some sort (like Opti-Seal, which is also a sealant). Spot-free water rinse and just let it air dry. And if you're using a hose, you can also (mostly) dry the car with water, assuming the paint is in decent shape and is protected/lubricated.
 
I have had good luck "drying" the car with water followed by an ELECTRIC leaf blower. A gas one is not recommended because you can get a lot of exhaust contaminants.
 
I use a Hitachi gas leaf blower on all my cars, especially when the pollen pours out of the trees. It works flawlessly with all the power you can need. In the last 6 years I never had any damage using it.
I had paid $95.00 on sale at Lowes.

The Masterblaster is pretty amazing, my brother has one, but i haven't bothered to get one yet. It's $390, but works better than any leaf blower or air compressor ever will.
