Blower to dry car

has anyone tried an electric blower to dry their car. I saw one on Speed channel but forgot what brand. Just wondering if they really work! Thanks!

Probably safer than driving around the neighborhood at 60.

Is a leaf blower filtered air? If not, would it blow trash build up from using it for leaf blower and scratch the paint ?Seems to me that I read in a motorcycle mag trying to sell a cycle blower that it would.

Thanks for all your help! I found one on-line for $39 from Chemicalguys.com called a Jetspeed blower. Looks like it will do the trick!
