dont use high pressure to rinse the car... use a hose without a nozzle and allow the water to cascade the soap off... way less water spots and less to wipe down.

good video... best tip is the two bucket method ... I've been doing that for years after I got the tip from 'Adam'

I always wanted to try this. This wont scratch the finish from any dust you are blasting at the car at 150mph?

@Dogfish,I only used the leaf blower a few times,no issues with dust or dirt,it is a little heave though and you chance dropping it on the car,I'll probably stick with a clean towel.

I have an electric one that is light and I am tempted to try! Maybe I will test it on my truck!
