Originally posted by caltour: Y2KSVT is right. After you wash your car, blot it dry with an all-cotton towel (don't drag the towel across the paint) and then gently dry off the remaining water with a microfiber towel.
No matter how careful you are with the blower, it's gonna stir up dust and grit from the ground.
If you want to do it the hard & sure way that is cool. I didn't run into any grit problems in my driveway. Then again I can see how this might not be for everyone.
I'd think if anything this would speed things up pushing water out of those small tight places on top. After that you can come back with towels and pamper it dry.
