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 pressure washer or are they best used with garden hose pressure and nozzle? If used with a pressure washer, what is the minimum flow needed through the deionizer to ensure that the pressure washer can have a sustained flow and not cycle? Any recommendations for deionizers to stay away from for use with a pressure washer?
Drying:
I was at Lowe’s this morning and saw the small portable shop blowers by both Kobalt and Craftsman. I checked Home Depot and it seems all the cordless tool brands carry some version of these. They're like a baby leaf blower and seem to be a good hand-held size for drying off your truck after washing. I’ve been thinking about getting something to speed the drying process since my shop air compressor is too small for sustained continuous use.
I’ve also looked at the Adams Air Cannon and read some threads where people are also using leaf blowers.
My question to everyone is: What is the critical factor in determining how well a tool dries? Is it the CFM rating or the MPH rating. Obviously, both are important but it seems like the CFM would be the more important factor in determining how well it dries. What experiences have others had? Any recommendations for dryers to stay away from? The Kobalt shown above only moves 110CFM at 180mph.
