Good point C-Man!! I didn't even pick up on the fact that he stated it's gas-powered, ours is electric and I think I'll give it a try! I'm little and it's a pain to have to haul around the stepladder when I clean the car myself plus I worry about leaning across it. (Don't have that problem with my Corvette though, I can reach that one!C-Man said:Just be wary if it is gas powered that it can spray oil/fumes on the car. Also be careful when using it that it does not suck up some sand or grit and sandblast your car. I have used a compressor to blow out the water from the window trim, door edges and whatnot. It seems that otherwise they drip for a long time after the wash and leave water spots.
Kroke43 - We know it can't suck up anything in blower mode!Krock43 said:Mine is gas powered and there are no fumes/gas/oil blowing out! Also it can't suck up anything if it's in the blower mode! I agree though for this purpose that an electric one would be better because of the lighter weight.

I do however prefer to use a silicone squeegee (did I spell that right?) to dry off the car and truck. Simillar to this:

It works very well.
I've been using a similar product for many years. The squigiee I have is more like a "T" handled yellow and black silicone one. I've had it for so long, I can't remember who got it or from where. I've used it on 2 black vehicles, a '96 Impala SS, and my '01 Excursion.Fast4Door said:Does the squegee really not scratch that you posted the link to? I've seen these work, but am still paranoid of scratching my beautiful black.
