Would it be possible for the leaf blower to suck up a small particle and shoot it back at the car an scratch it?

I do not have a lot of experience with leaf blowers, so I have a question.
The gas powered varieties use a gas/oil mix in the engines, correct? Meaning they don't have a seperate oil tank for lube. Where do these machines exhaust at? In the air steam, or off to the side?
My #1 fear is I'll pick something up that exhausts into the airflow, and will shoot trace amounts of oil onto my S.

Most gas ones exhaust out the side but this doesn't mean some of it couldn't get sucked into the intake.

Oh, and I never actually answered the posters question.
A wet Egyptian cotton handtowel. One pass, wring it out, repeat. That combined with the multiple Zaino coats makes for some easy drying. I may have to invest in the leaf blower approach as the temperature starts to drop.

Just bought a black 05 this past Friday and planning to wash for the first time this weekend.
Where can I get the micro fiber towels and what is a california water blade?
When drying with the blower only, does it leave mineral deposit behind?
Thanks in advance for the help.
