Drying Tip

Here is a little tip that I do in the summer but I got thinking since it is getting colder out it would be a good tip for winter also to prevent the dors from freezing shut.

Whenever I am finished washing my car I us a leaf blower to dry my car off. This seems to also help prevent water marks. Just watch, if you are drying your car on a dirt driveway that you don't blow the air towards the ground or you will have to start all over again.

That is a good one. I do that all the time, did it today as a matter of fact.
It gets all the water outta all the cracks. I blow everything out, interior, engine bay and all....


works great.


Oh yeah and people driving by look at me like I'm crazy.
