I've read of people having the nozzle loosen while they are drying the car, then the nozzle shoots out and dents the paint >.<
I really like the blower for moving the water off the glass, body, and wheels. Then follow up with the towel.
Your neighbors will think you are crazy.

I've used the blower in the past but now use a garage wall mounted wet/vac to suck water from the cracks of the car after using MF towels to get the large surface areas.
Works great for me.
Works great for me.

I have that exact model. After I wash the car, I use that to blow out the cracks on the doors, mirrors, trunk, and taillights. I also use it to push the water off the glass and out of the door handles. Then I use a blade to get the majority of the water off the car, then follow up with a MF towel to get the last remaining water spots.
