I use a leafblower when I wash my car at my parents house. The only downside is that they have a backpack leafblower so to get the top of the car I have to lift the whole thing and hold it up to reach..the thing is by no means considered light weight..

 

i gotta try it sometime! HHmmm time to go to a garage sale!

 

Is it safe to use a gas leaf blower on your car?

 

yes it is. The one I use is gas powered..

 

Not a good idea, use a dedicated car leaf blower or else you may blow dust/leaf particles onto the paint

 

I've been using my Toro for quite some time. Make sure you blow the driveway out first so you don't kick anything up at the car. After a few coats of Zaino the water just glides off. I also find it useful for the wheels. I've used a faux chamois too. It takes about the same amount of time IMO but use a chamois if you what to get more personal with your G.

 

+1....also to get water from under the gas filler cover

 

I'm guessing you don't own a BO coupe. It really sucks for us black G's because leaving it spotless via leaf blower drying method is almost impossible.

I've tried it a few times, and the tiny droplets left behind dry up very quickly, and becomes noticeable.

Yeah, I've ran into the same problem with my black G, the solution with me is that I spray a coat of Z-6 or Z-8 on and after I dry with the leaf blower.

Makes for a lot of work though, maybe someone has a better idea.

 

I hate drying m black g the spot kill me but i usually wax them off

 

i picked up the cheapest toro.. 140mph winds for getting all the water out of my 2 piece piaas

 

You don't have to have a dedicated blower for the freakin car. Just so long as your blower doesn't have a vacuum feature. Then you could blow old particules of leaves and dirt on the car otherwise your ok. I have been using
my gas blower for over 5 years with no problems. Why buy more equipment and stuff that you don't need. People make stuff harder than it really is.

 

i did because i am a new home owner, i figure it will be good for cleaning out the garage

 

wow.... after reading this thread i at least now know what to get me significant other for his birthday in a few weeks he's pretty **** with having a clean ride on the weekends and this would help him finish a lot quicker and more quality time for me thanks
