TBH Rog, it was specifically bought for my crotch rocket, but occasionally I use it on the car within the engine bay, otherwise it is rinsed with a DI vessel and left alone.I'm happy to carry on using microfibre towels.
It blows it off. Works best when there’s a hydrophobic voting of some sort. The water beads just roll off with the flow of air. The air is possibly heated slightly, so it’s probably marginally warmer than ambient temperature, but nowhere near enough to cause the water to evalpirate.Ideally the water should be moved off the car rather than allowed to evaporate. Does the leaf blower push the water off the car? Or evaporate it? Or both?
Presumably not an avid reader of your Forum posts?I'll just get my wife to go and talk at it - she's full of wind and hot air!

Video it.I have one of these that I've only used to blast all residue water out of nooks and crannies rather than finding streaks left behind later. I've never considered using it to blow all the water off before, perhaps I'll try it.

I've used mine for years to blow off the water, as has been said it's a lot easier if the car has ceramic coating.Hmm.... not sure I want to risk blowing stones at my car with my Stihl petrol blower / vac.
