I usually only clay bar a car once shortly after I buy one (every two to three years), but I do wax the car twice a year, using leftover clay bar to rub out any stains or tar marks prior.
What do you mean by "Absorber"?
What electric leaf blower do you use?

As for the electric leaf blower, it's a 40v Black and Decker...

I would absolutely use an electric leaf blower (and have) as long as, as others have said, you have not used the vacuum function and sucked stuff up into the fan.

Only other issue with a leaf blower is having a narrow enough outlet to focus the air better. Otherwise, you are not getting it out of mirrors and other nooks and crannies quite as well.
