Her at the shop, we use a few methods to dry cars. If a car is being prepped for correction or protection, more than likely we will use a large microfiber drying towel. If we are drying a well protected vehicle, we will use a leaf blower, Air Cannon, or Griots Garage Air Pulse Gun. I still prefer the Leaf Blower over everything. My employees like the new Adams Mini Air Cannon. Adam’s Mini Handheld Air Cannon is the best possible forced air dryer for the weekend warrior detailer. Adam’s Handheld Mini Air Cannon outperforms all other hand-held forced air dryers available. Powered by 1200 watts the Handheld Mini Air Cannon forces 90 CFM of heated air at an impressive 19000 FPM. Whether you are drying the exterior of your vehicle or blasting out the interior; Adam’s Handheld Mini Air Cannon comes standard with a 20-foot power cord to allow you to go anywhere around your vehicle.

Your preferred method to dry your vehicle?

@richsmith3120 Год назад

Normally, a drying towel!

@archiepezek Год назад

I have an EGO 650 CFM leaf blower that I use for my ceramic coated car. Leaf blowers don't work too well on an un-coated vehicle--it just blows the water around. I have a couple good microfiber drying towels for other cars.

Leaf blower and a big blue blow

@barrybij8079 Год назад

i use a towel followed by using an ego blower for the wheels and grill

@mooferoo Год назад

I use a towel, but i don't move it around the paint. I lay it completely still and smooth my hands around on it.

@orthodox1717 Год назад

I have an EGO 650 cordless and the Adams MINI dryer. The EGO is way more efficient in overall car drying, but for the more precise areas, the Adams is great. If I had to chose one, the EGO for sure.

@williambell7712 Год назад

It was informative to see the different times for drying. I use an ego 650 with stubby nozzle and blower band on the end. Works great, the downsize is the weight and noise of the 650. You should definitely use ear protection. I always follow up with a topper and plush towel. Extreme Solutions Topper, Ethos Pro Shine or Gyeon ceramic detailer all work well. Have pretty much retired all my drying towels.

@davestewart9146 Год назад

As a DIYer I just have a small electric leaf blower that I bought from Walmart a few years ago, I’m sure it doesn’t compare to the nicer heated blowers but it works for me, great video Brian 👍😁

@AustinFerguson Год назад

Just got the Adams and used it yesterday, took about an additional minute but the size is clutch for getting smaller areas and working door openings and trunks/frunks (Tesla). The heat is also pleasant as well. Overall for 80$ I'll keep using it and save my batteries for my Milwaukee yard and power tool equipment.

@neilwalker5041 Год назад

The Adams is a lot stronger than I expected and now I’m going to have to give Adams some money! I really appreciate this video and Happy New Year to you guys!

@edgy1rocks Год назад

I like my DeWalt leaf blower. I have plenty of batteries but it never takes more than one. The concentrator tip on my model is a plus. It moves a lot of air and if the conditions are right, I’ll use it to blow snow off my driveway!

@GLI_1701 Год назад

I have the ego 650 as well....and it's the king of car drying. I put a snub nose on mine and it works great.

@bstewartexecutivecarcare3797 Год назад

I use a Metrovac sidekick. I added a 12” piece of pipe to get a little extra reach and it works fine. Might not be the fastest but if gets the job done with warm filtered air. Using a leaf blower might be more powerful but it isn’t filtered air or heated, so it is possible to be blowing dusty air on your nice clean car. I highly recommend using ear protection when using any type of blower as it does get loud. Thanks for sharing 👍✌️☮️

@FYRARMS Год назад

I use a Makita 18V cordless leaf blower with a Blowerband silicone stubby nozzle---in matching Makita teal, of course. 😍 Works great, plenty of power, compact, no cord, and I can even take it with me to the coin-op spray booth in the wintertime and dry off my car on the spot. Easy-peasy!

@fritzmeynejr2983 Год назад

I have been using a leaf blower for well over 25 years. I got the idea from a friend who restored Bi-planes, old Stearmans. Yes heavy and large, however for the price differences I will stay with the leaf blower. I prefer a smaller Black & Decker which is lighter and a smaller diameter nozzle that packs a ouch.

@stephenmoxley3004 Год назад

Great video, Brian. I use a Big Boi blower that I got from Esoteric Detailing. It has heated and filtered air and does a fantastic job. I also use a small, Milwaukee battery-powered leaf blower and it works very well, also.

@evilfingers4302 Год назад

4 months I posted I have a 20v Dewalt Cordless Leaf Blower, and recently I ordered from Amazon, an 20v 7.0 AH Lithium Ion Battery, tested all 3 settings on the leaf blower, and it blows more efficiently than the smaller 20v battery I was using before

@ShineYourLightDetailing Год назад

Awesome, all I use is a Kobalt leaf blower, I would like to get a air cannon sometime in the future!

@tomchinigo5014 Год назад

Hi Brian. I have the Toro Powerjet f700 corded leaf blower and it is fantastic on coated or protected vehicles. Like you said not to efficient on non coated vehicles so I use the Guantlet & Liquidator towels from the Rag Company then follow up with forced air.

@hartlanddetailer5670 Год назад

In my small shop, any added expense is not necessary. I have a leaf blower already for my yard. Remember, most shop vacs have a blow out, so it gives you another option. For my own vehicles, they mostly get ONR baths, anyway.

@luketuttle1096 Год назад

If not too hot out (mid summer car will start to dry to quick) use leaf blower to get majority of water. Get the rest using a product like Titan or similar for dying aid and added protection

@jonschmunk7719 Год назад

Microfiber Towel! Appreciate the video Brian.

@millerdetailing4176 Год назад

Nice video and review Brian . I use a little of everything depending on the day and temperature. I have the large air cannon from Adams and it works well along with a leaf blower. Both I usually use to hit the main areas off with then use dedicated drying towels.

@derekjarembo9709 Год назад

Hi Brian. I use the Adams Air Cannon Jr. during the winter months on a coated car and it does a great job. During the summer I towel dry because the Arizona heat dries the car to quickly for the cannon. Either way a protected car is so much easier to dry quicker.

@jonnybravo3055 Год назад

I use a combination of micro fiber drying towels and a makita cordless compact blower for the wheels, grills, mirrors, lights etc.. Its got enough power for me and couldn't be bothered with plugging something in and have trailing cables.

@EazyELowzCompton Год назад

I am in Europe and a good alternative from the Metrovac products (which are quite a budget for a week-end warrior) is the Bigboi blowr mini. Thats an Australian brand and the blower does the job but the 5/6 minutes in the video is impressing me. Never run the clock but sounds quite longer for me but I got large Cadillacs...

@scottmboise7209 Год назад

For outdoor washing with a pressure washer, I use a leaf blower but follow with some light towel drying for drips and door jams. But, most of my washing follows the rinseless method in my garage. I have not tried using a blower in these circumstances other than getting into gaps, mirrors, etc. I would love to hear if others use a blower under rinseless conditions washing one panel at a time.

@johnwagner4559 Год назад

I'll tell ya, my $20 Amazon leaf blower is 3 years old which has plenty of power behind it, is all I need. Its corded but fine for me but its simple, cheap, effective for me. And if needed, I'll follow it up with my mf drying towel. Done. Happy new year Brian! Thank you for ALL you do for us!

@horsecockexpress7612 Год назад

i have found that the smaller the end hole on the nozzle is the better they dry. Better blowing action

@ashishpatel350 Год назад

Leaf blower because I need it for things other than car drying and don't want multiple tools

@shnerp 11 месяцев назад

twistloop large drying towel for large panels, followed up with Adams mini air canon for grill, wheels, gascap lid and mirrors.

@timathypotato8034 Год назад

I think its worth noting that for the weekend warrior a corded leaf blower is much cheaper than cordless, a 600cfm worx is only 63 bucks on amazon

@thefunkmuppet Год назад

Also way lighter, I went from that one to a cordless worx nitro with two batteries and it's significantly heavier and the corded worked better also.

@tonywilliams4302 Год назад

I have the blaster sidekick. I love the forced/heated air combo. On my coated cars, it takes 6-7 min to dry the car and rims, which is within the realm of reason for me(hobbyist detailer) I do have the new Milwaukee leaf blower with 3-d printed stubby attachment. I plan on trying it out mainly because it’s cordless. I love the the heated/filtered air of the sidekick though. It’s been going strong for 4 years, and the fact that it’s corded is a minor inconvenience in my opinion.

@coreymerritt7742 Год назад

Nice video Brian I’m using a corded toro leaf blower it seems to work well thanks

@MyGuyKirby Год назад

A really coated vehicle that sheds water with air and a great time with that free rinse from outside. Nice topic

@chodkowski01 10 месяцев назад

I believe in multi purpose equipment. Being I already use the EGO leaf blower around the house for many different reasons I now use that to blow out and dry my car. Why go out and buy more special tools when I don’t have to. I try to leave a little water on it after blowing so I can just spend 5 minutes going over with a drying towel.

@sacballa_kills_em_wit_facts 8 месяцев назад

EGO is too BIG and cumbersome

@mag1vl Год назад

Hello Brian from Australia🙃 I use a drying towel for the roof and front + rear windscreens and the rest with my Makita LXT 18volt leaf blower.

@davidcarballo9921 Год назад

Hi Brian, I use a drying towel first then my Ryobi one plus small garden blower and I find this sufficient. Thanks for another good video. 👍🏼

@mitchelllong5848 Год назад

Never used a blower to dry before, I deal with really hard water so I usually try to get protection that sheets or a soap that helps it and towel dry really fast, the spots come off easy cuz there fresh but sometimes I just don’t have time go over the car again

@austinmoore1689 Год назад

I love to use my stubby tip snap on blowgun to try off cars or my wizards water bandit

Ego 650 with a stubby nozzle. Chemical guys pro blow for the little nooks and crannies. Rag company microfiber towel for that happy ending

@stevem5840 Год назад

@functionaldoc5054 Год назад

I love my 8 HP Metro on my ceramic coated vehicles since I don't like holding a cordless blower due to wait especially on my crossover's for my older body.

@evilfingers4302 Год назад

I have a Cordless 20volt Dewalt Leaf Blower that has a soft rubber nozzle that won't scratch the paint.

@dougmasters3875 Год назад

Usually dedicated waffle towels followed by a 20v Dewalt mini blower in the crevices.

@ddautodetailing Год назад

I have a BigBoi air dryer that works great! The less I have to touch the paint the better 👍

@williamclick9771 Год назад

I have Auto Hart battery powered dryer. It's okay. I have also 2 Hart leaf blowers. I won't use them because the tips of the blowers are hard plastic. The auto one is a soft plastic or rubber tip. I still like a detail microfiber drying towel. Guess I'm to old fashioned.

@gryphon123456 Год назад

I got a good deal on a Ryobi 720cfm lower that uses the same batteries as my mower and trimmer. Thing works great. It is a bit of a pain to old up for the roof and I’d like to get a stubby for it.

I have the same one. Regrettably, stubby nozzles for it are few and far between.

100% a leaf blower guy. Only need a towel around the mirrors and door handles cause the constantly drip

@davidsmith6308 Год назад

I have a ego blower prefer that method because it is cordless

@R900DZ Год назад

Best process I’ve found is: 1. Spend about one minute leaf blowing from top to bottom to get the bulk (not all) of the water off. 2. Towel dry along with drying aid. 3. Use metro sidekick along with small drying towel in other hand to dry the wheels and all nooks and crannies. Fast, safe, and thorough.

@aldaley3537 Год назад

Leaf blower. Will invest in a battery powered one when my current one malfunctions.

@ismaelcarrerojr7124 Год назад

Brian your right about the small air blower I have a small garage and have both small and large leaf blower, when using the large electric leaf blow I came a few times touching my car with it so I only use it when the weather is good and because it has more coverage. I use my master blaster inside the garage when the weather is cold.

If you use an Ego leaf blower, this will make vehicle drying easier and a bit more effective. Soft Tip Stubby Car Drying Nozzle for EGO Leaf Blowers Available from Amazon.

@Reaper-Jim Год назад

Quickest way to dry a vehicle is to use a lightly damp drying microfiber towel. I use waffle weave, most others seem to prefer some kind of twisted loop. Note that it is often required to blow out the jams, windows and mirrors … so some kind of blower is beneficial. Blowing vehicles dry takes more time but they CAN do 95% of it, then follow up with a towel. imo, there is no better or best. There is only what works for you. 😊😊😊

@kimnewling5728 Год назад

I use drying towels with drying aid. Question : what kind of air compressor do you have? And, would you recommend it? I see you use some air tools and was wondering if your compressor keeps up. I'm looking at 60 gallon upright right now. A 3.5 or maybe 5 horse. Plan is purchasing soon. Thanks Brian.
