    I have a few different air wands but all are based on an air compressor.
    I would love to see what you use in regards to blower and air wand attachment.


    Regards

    I haven’t used my Air Wand in forever. I’ve just gotten really efficient with a PFM towel
    Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.

    titsataki- We`ve (or rather perhaps "I have") miscommunicated a little. I`m referring to a leafblower attachment called "The Air Wand" that I posted a review/recommendation on a while back. Google up "The New Air Wand" on an internet search and you oughta find what I`m talking about.

    The compressor-driven air nozzles in your pic are the kind of things I use for the nooks and crannies, but I get >90% of the water off with a leafblower fitted with the AirWand that you can find via that search.

    Well, we`re doing different vehicles. I`m still using plenty Drying MFs but I definitely save a lot of time blowing most of the water off first, and that also helps keep my Drying Aids (on which I rely a lot more than I bet you do) from getting too diluted. When the AirWand needed servicing I was actually kinda surprised how much I missed it, vowed to *never* go back to just using towels. But again, that`s just me and yeah I am all about making this stuff as, uhm...bearable for myself as I can, and that`s a kinda high bar to clear.

    What kind of servicing did your Air Wand need?

    It was the first time the hose wore out while in-use. I missed it so much that I cobbled together a temp fix with an unused piece of shopvac hose when fixes to the worn oe one wouldn`t work. Didn`t want to wait for the replacement (he`s a good guy but not all that quick about responding to customers) before doing another wash.
