Compressed air is the way to go. Oh, put a filter inline and it takes out all of the water and oil.

Well. I think I have been convinced to switch to compressed air instead of a leaf blower. I think I like the way you can get into the cracks and crevices better than a leaf blower.

If you are considering a compressor and tools - Sam's Club sells a pneumatic tool set for about $80 bucks... It has a bunch of stuff in it, including two different air guns, with an intrchangable small rubber tip. It also has an air rachet, high speed grinder, impact lug wrench (I only use this on my trucks), air chisel, and a bunch of other stuff. Granted, it isn't Snap-On quality, but as a home builder, I have beaten the crap out of some of the tools, and they have held up well!!

BTW, I usually dry the car first, and then go around and get the nooks and crannies... that way I avoid the dreaded water spots! The hose I use never has had an oiler on it - and with the dry climate we have up here, and an occasional purge of the water in the compressor tanks, have never had a problem with water in the line.

Just tryin' to help!
