Can I use this to help dry my car after washing it? How is the filter?

You could, but I'd be very careful because there is NO air filter. That would not be a good addition to this blower/vac. It doesn't have a filter because the area that the filter would be in is also the area that grinds up the leaves in the vacuum mode. An air filter would also slow down the blower because there would be a restrictive filter in the way of the air input to the blower. It is a leaf Blower/vac after all. It works great for that purpose.

I've been using a Toro 51573 (190mph) for many years to dry my car after washing it. works great.

The filter is nice, so I just wash it periodically with soap and hot water, then let air dry. Especially after frying shrimp!

In short, microfiber: car wash, nano towel: cleaning house. The material of nano towel seems fine to use for a car wash, but demand is low due to existence of microfiber. If you are looking for a towel to wash a car, go with the safest bet. (Nano Towel- http://www.amazon.com/Nano-towels-Revolutionary-Technology-Expensive/dp/B00556QVSE/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top)

We love it! It's all we use on my husbands Jeep Cherokee and my Mercedes. It does not smear it just absorbes all the water. I don't remember having to wet it first but we DO put it away wet after wringing it out.

This is for washing your vehicle. Not drying. It is a great wash mitt. Soft on paint and doesn't waste your wash soap. I have black cars and it doesn't leave swirls! A big plus. I got two so I can interchange. Hope this helps!

I've not used it to dry my car; I do use it to clean the dirt, grass, et cetera from my lawn tractor. It does a great job. I can't imagine it not working well to dry a car. It's quite powerful.

Like a chamois, yes. Strong, absorbent and is easy to "ring out" the water and keep reusing. When I'm done with each car I rinse it thoroughly and hang to dry. Then it's ready for the next use. I'm not sure if I'm ever going to "machine wash" this product. So far washing by hand is suitable.

It does great with a simple wash. Just shake it out well as it comes out of the dryer.

Yes I have dried my vehicle with this. Works good. Dry under the hood, through the honeycomb, wheels and even the body with the wide attachment. Doesn't dry the windows streakless like my absorber.

Depends what size car you have.I would not recommend buying a motorcycle dryer for a complete car drying experience.Maybe if you just want to dry off your car wheels or other chrome parts with it but not entire car.I've used it for that purpose once in a while on my F150 4X4 W/20" chrome wheels and other assorted chrome parts after washing,but not entire truck.I bought my 4hp metro for my H-D motorcycle and it works well enough for that.

Yes, I've taken the filter in the upright section out several times and washed it. It's a spongey foam material that takes a bit of time to dry fully, but it can be washed. Leave it out for a solid 24 hrs to dry after washing, though, because even the slightest moisture will gunk up the filter with dirt.

This product is basically a microfiber cloth. It is super soft and absorbent cloth that will dry a medium size car (one cloth) and clean windows.

It's just as good as those dryers. I use it with only one towel, to dry an entire car. It a great tool. Well worth the investment.

I find it near perfect for this purpose. I have used this model and a previous model for 8 years to dry our three cars: a Corvette, a two seater Mercedes and an old Suburban. Blower drying a car may sometimes take a little longer than towel drying (depends a bit on ambient temperature), but is much safer for your cars finish (nothing but air is touching the dry/drying paint) and can remove water from small crevices (e.g., around tail lights and door frames) and other areas you generally wouldn't take a towel too such as under the hood, inside wheel wells, along weatherstrip and disk brakes. I'm a recognized fanatic when it comes to paint care, have tried probably every premium product including sheepskin, synthetics, blades, microfiber and pure cotton towels, and I've found nothing to match a blower for drying. I've used other blowers, but this is by far my favorite because it is easily maneuverable and light, yet has good air output. Lightness is really appreciated when holding the unit at unusual angles or by other than the handle, say when drying the roof of the Suburban. Don't get too caught up in wanting the most powerful blower. Yes greater airspeed may dry a car a bit faster, but hurricane speeds can also begin to lift decals, tear wiper blades, and even separate rear view mirror glass over time. Only downside to blower drying, and this unit in particular, is that it's noisy. I wear overear hearing protection when using it as I'm rather sensitive to loud sound, but my neighbor across the street dries his two cars with an even noisier model and sees no need at all for ear protection.

The filter catches all the lint. Yes there is humidity, but we installed ours in the garage so it is not an issue. Also, if you use scented dryer product the smell will come thru.

After you rinse it thoroughly, it can go right back into service. There's no reason that it needs to dry.

Yes it comes with a filter, replacement filters are available but since it is washable and reusable your car will be trashed before your filter is. You should/have to buy the K
