Will it work to dry a car?

It works great in my garden blowing leaves and debri. I'm sure you could dry a car but that's a strange question.

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.

Only if you have a day or two. This model is not a high power model. I bought this ome for small jobs, the deck etc.I guarantee the pricier model will do the job. I had the pricier model before and plan on getting it again.

Yes, it will. However, it will take a long time, it's not like that turbo blower at the roadstop for hand drying. If you're in a hurry, use it and then use some lint-free cloths. Exercise will do you good.

I stated using it to dry my motorcycles... blow dry work great and no water spots on the chrome. I also use it to dry my cars, including my custom painted 64 Corvette. Works best in a cool shaded area. I start in the front and work toward the back (also try to work from top to bottom).

Nope......I you want to dry a car get the more powerful model. Had one in the past and plan on getting the more powerful model again.This one is just OK for very small jobs, decks, garage, sidewalk etc.

I haven't tried using it in my car, but I imagine that it will. Keep in mind that although you get a lot of bang for the buck, this is still a small steamer and not nearly as powerful as the larger more expensive ones.

My husband used it on his classic car and it did an excellent job. The car dried faster than drying with a chamois. A few of the other folks in our car club also use it for that purpose and like the results.

Yes. I used it to wrap furniture, mattress and lots of other stuff including a couple dog crates that were exposed to the elements and it kept it dry and clean. The crates were tied down on top of my car and I drove thro snow and rain from nj to Colorado.

It will dry within 24 hrs. I am not satisfied with the results of this product actually. Very mediocre protection. Good luck!

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

I use this as a dedicated car dryer. I have a gas one for yard work.Yes it works well in drying the car. It works even better if the vehicle has been waxed.I tried the supplied multi-tubes and the Power Insert works the best. (Concentrator Insert takes too long)Toro Ultra 51609 is loud so wear hearing protection. It also has a vibration/buzz through the handle, so wear gloves to prevent hand and arm fatigue.The nozzle is long so be careful that you do not hit your car when drying. I taped some rubber foam to the multi tube to prevent scratches from accidental bumps.

I used it and it didn't dry completely clear like it said, and it peeled off after a while. It might work on your dashboard I would try it.

I used it to remove some foam tape residue that was left when the side moulding was removed on my car. It didn't damage the paint on the car. I would try a small place on the leg of the table or under the top to be sure that it doesn't soften the dried finish before I would use it on the top.

I've used it to dry my son's goalie gloves and it worked well. I left them on overnight and they were dry by early morning.

I would certainly think so. It worked on mine lthough I had to to it sit a litltle on very dry spots.

I would not recommend using any blower on a car, especially a new one, as you may, inadvertently, cause debris to fly on the paint, causing chips, cracks, scratches, etc. Ordinary, clean, 100% cotton, dry, towels used with gentle motions are more work, but, will give you a safer dry!

Andrew, This same dryer is used on automobiles too, even pet groomers use them. You can dry allot of things with the mb3cd dryers. Its just a very powerful dryer that blows heated filtered air. On automobiles for example, the mirrors, emblems, door handles all those hard to reach spots that drip water after your done drying with a shammy wont do that anymore if you utilize one of these. It will actually dry the entire car too but I find its awesome for spots like I mentioned. I dry most of my car off with it thou too. The water just sheds off the hood and roof in seconds.

Yes. I use it in the winter time to wash mild accumulations of dirt and road salt off my 911 and BMW. Follow the directions -- don't rub hard to avoid scratches and then lightly buff the area dry with a clean cloth. Use two towels at all times and change them out if they get too soiled (the cleaning one) or too wet (the drying one). Good product.
