Ditto on the leaf blower. I picked up a small one at Home Depot for about $20 bucks and it works like a champ. Although, if I had to do it again, I would get one with more max air volume (CFM) just to speed things up. On the plus side, it's only three pounds and isn't hard to maneuver.

If you are a baller, then the Air Force Master Blaster is the tool of choice. If your funds are not baller like, a $30 ELECTRIC leaf blower will work just fine.

The 8hp Airforce MasterBlaster is the only way to go if you really love your car. Warm dry filtered air. LOL Seriously though, it's built like a tank(in the USA) and works like a champ. I tried the leaf blower thing, and the MasterBlaster is much easier to use IMO. Whichever you choose, forced air is the best way to dry your car.
