Learned something this morning

[694doorbird]

DON"T forget to blow dry the car after washing. You wind up wasting a lot of time drying. Yes, I washed the Ranger this morning and forgot to blow dry it. Wound up doing the drying process twice. Water kept dripping out from under the tail lights. door trim and bed liner.

Good tip.

 

I never think to bring the blow dryer.

A woman forgetting the blow dryer.........

 

Sorry Teresa I had too, you left the door wide open:D

[BADRIDES]

I use an electric leaf blower on every car I do

Air compressor for me...the water cannot hide

Me too... Compressed air all the way.

I usually use a leaf blower. This time I guess I was in a hurry to clean the truck before the next round of rain came through. I may try the air compressor next time. Would a 6 gallon one provide enough air to blow the car off and get the nook and crannies?

[JerseyGator]

That's the size I use...

Metro Vac for the vette and the leaf blower for the truck

I have a question......when do you use the "blow dryer?" Immediately after rinsing, before spraying the DS, and then towel dry?

 

Thanks for the feed back....

[BADRIDES]

Blow dry then spray the DS on

[doggman]

Blow dry then spray the DS on

Unless you have to wash and dry your car outside in the sun if that is the case I Ds and dry than blow the water out of the cracks and dry those areas again. Otherwise I get water spots on the parts of the car that I did not dry before I blew out the cracks.

That's how I do it... DS and dry with towel. Then blow baby blow!

After awhile they get use to it. Should have seen the looks I got last fall when I brought out the shop-vac to vac up all the remaining leaves in my shrubs. My wife was mortified.

[Night Train]

I use my leaf blower when I remember.

Master Blaster here, warm Filtered air.

The 2 cylcle gas powered leaf blowers might be putting some oil on your freshly washed car!

Oh yeah and they really freaked when I used to be outside washing one and it was barely above 32 degrees.

I have washed my car colder. My record is 20 degrees. I use luke warm and have to do the rims last otherwise I get ICE build up on them.

You're a nut!

Why thank you. Did I mention I am afraid gloves will scratch the paint so I do it man style. I just have to dunk my hands in the wash bucket every twenty seconds or so to stop them from freezing.

[LimitedDodge]

I remember washing my last truck one time and went to go dry it and it had already started freezing on the truck.
