Leaf blower to dry car?

The worst part about washing the car is getting it dry, at least that`s what I think. I have a leaf blower and tried drying my car with it last weekend, and it did a god job of getting it about 95% dry. I did glue a piece of cloth around the tip of the blower, so I wouldn`t damage the paint. I didn`t hit the car this time though. And then I used a microfiber towel to get the rest of the small beads that didn`t want to leave my car.

It did cut the drying time, and it would work better in colder temperatures since you could wear gloves and not have to get your hands wet.

I know my neighbors think I`m crazy, but other than that are there any concerns I should have for drying it this way?

The only concern I would have is make sure that you do not blow up dust from the driveway back onto the car. Otherwise, when you go to finish drying the remaining water, you could scratch the heck out of it!

umm... by chance did you SEARCH before posting?? Not to mention, there`s a forum, "autopia university" for posts such as this.
