I do have a reverse shopvac but don't like the idea of any possible dirt blowing at the car.

my wheels have like half a gallon sitting in the inside dish of every rim after I wash it, it takes like two mf towels just laid on their to soak it up off every wheel....then I go back to dry them so there wont be any water spots....then when I'm all done polishing my car I go back to polish my wheels last thing to get them to shine....
a leaf blower would be chill to help for saving those extra towels

Dude just go Lowes and buy a lawn & garden leaf blower. I've been using my gas blower for years it saves on towels big time. I can completely dry my car with one towel if I use my blower. I use another towel for the rims. But if I dry with towels only it takes me like 3 towels for the car and 1-2 for the rims. Saves time also. This is an old tip/trick of the detailing trade.

Been using my leaf blower for as long as I can remember. But I only use it after I wiped the car down. Works great on window sills, grille, wheels, headligths & taillights, side mirrors. Makes a world of difference when you get the car all dry and I mean dry. My neighbor always gets a kick out of it when he see's me using my leaf blower on the car. He keeps telling me "it for your lawn not the car"! LOL!
