This seemed to be the faddy thing to do, and my old leaf blower/garden vac was not long for this world anyway. So I bought a cordless leaf blower (Greeenworks 40V) - even bought a 3d printed short exit to it supposed to make it work even better.
But I have to admit, I'm somewhat disappointed with the results. It moves the water, yes. But not as effectively as I'd hoped. Once you've stood there for ages waving it about (oo-er) I'm not sure it's any less effort than taking a drying towel to it.
I did wonder whether it's only truly effective on a car that's been ceramic coated after trying it on my own. But washed the wife's car this week, which was ceramic coated at Christmas (and it certainly works - washes effortlessly now) and while it might have been a bit better, I was still disappointed that it wasn't blasting the water away.
So - what have other people found? Was I expecting too much? Am I doing it wrong? Have I picked the wrong tool?
