I use the Adams Air Cannon that was linked in an earlier post by Adams. Not as cheap as the leaf blowers most are suggesting here, but I used to use a leaf blower and the Air Cannon does a much better job. The air is much more concentrated due to the smaller tip and it is heated too. Works even better if your car is ceramic coated or freshly waxed/polished.

I have been using my Air Force brand blower for my bikes and cars for over 15 years. Still work great.

I use the master blaster 2 motor unit. Great for keeping the paint looking new. Still dont have any swirl Mark's on it yet.

Hi, you can use a drying aid like a ceramic spray wax or bead maker. Also try to use a vertical or horizontal strokes only. Once you try doing a circular motion, that's when micro swirls shows up. Hope it helps.

I used a corded leaf blower (Black and Decker) that I got from Ace Hardware. Works quite well. I think I paid $40?

If you use a leaf blower without a filter in the desert, you are sandblasting.

My master blaster has a filter. A rubber tip on the end of the hose in case you accidentally touch the car with it. It also blows warm air so it dries faster. I tried a high powered backpack blower in the past it is no comparison to the master blaster.
