Ever run out of time when detailing?
Last weekend, after washing, I started to run out of time, and the victim of same had to be the tires. Just as I was finishing up, I had a brain storm: why not use the leaf blower to dry my wheels and tires? It dried the rubber instantly, making it possible to dress the tires - to complete the job.
Laughing, are ya? Check it out next weekend...

Happens to me all the time.. Heck, IF i can have the whole day to detail the car, I would. Unfortunatlly life isn't perfect, that's why there is walgreens 
But yeah, I too do use a leaf blower to dry the car out, saves time.

Not laughing here...as prior posted...I use the leaf blower drying system every weekend. Neighbors used to peer out from behind the blinds for the first few weeks, but with a black car (and yes, 60% of swirls come from the improper drying) it is a must. Just wear ear protection and thick skin...
