The only problem is that a gas blower spews exhaust. That exhaust eventually lands all over your car. That's why gas powered blowers are not recommended.

Default Update
We ended up purchasing this from Walmart yesterday:
Walmart.com: Weed Eater 7.5 Amp Electric Blower: Lawn & Garden Care

I plugged it in last night and it has really good power. We will try it out on the cars this weekend.

Thanks for the input

That's the same exact one I use to use.

yeah man, you don't want to do that... I would imagine the exhaust might affect any wax you might have on your car, or that you might want to put on.
