Thanks, just started using a blower (same eGO 765 that you have) on my coated truck and it works way better than I thought. Good idea on doing the order in that way, I'll try that next time. Also just had my stubby delivered this afternoon!
I had bought the stubby with the green silicone tip. Put it on works great for blowing off water after washing the cars. Now comes leaf blowing and trying to remove the stubby is nearly impossible to remove. Watching videos on how to remove the stubby look and seem so easy to do. But pinching top and bottom it will not come off. I had 4/5 others watch the video on removing it. And it’s not coming off at all for them as well. So be aware if you have this problem or situation with the stubby attachment. As of today the stubby is 5:30 still on the ego 765. It just won’t slide off easily as it should.
Do you have a coating on the car when leaf blowing it? If so, any thoughts how the blower perform against an uncoated car using chemical guys hydrophobic wash?
Yes, this vehicle is ceramic coated. A powerful leaf blower (i.e. > 450 CFM) can dry off an uncoated vehicle. However, using some sort of hyrdrophobic coating like ceramic, wax, or topper will make the job much more efficient. Hope that helps!
I ended up getting the Greenworks based upon your other video (cheaper and 8 year warranty). Watching you use the Ego though it seems the bottom "handles" really help with holding it on the higher parts. What are your thoughts?
The handle/base on the bottom of the EGO 765 is really nice when using the blower for car drying. With that said, you won't be disappointed wit the Greenworks 730. Per my testing (link below), the Greenworks 730 is one of the most powerful electric leaf blowers on the market today. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l-JSXL91KZs.html
Thanks again for the reply! I got the Greenworks based upon your reply to my comment on the other vid. Have not had a chance to use it so holding off on my Stubby order until I do. My fear with the Ego is reported battery issues. May not be all but I see several reports about them.
In my opinion, the M12 blower is not strong enough to effectively dry a car therefore we don't offer a STUBBY nozzle for it. You want a blower with an advertised output of at least 450 CFM.
