The leaf blower is a miracle cure for great paint and a waste of time for neglected paint.
Lol, I usually wash my car in the evening to avoid the direct sunlight but I was bored and it was hot outside so I figured I get a bit of cool water on me while washing the car.. I also figured I’d experiment with the cheap foam gun to see how I like the concept before spending more for a good gun.

I already took the blower back. I just really like drying the old school way plus it was a little bit of a hassle dragging the cord out.
