I don't like extension cords either so I use this ...

Try it!


This. A good coat of protection (sealant/wax) makes all the difference in the world. Flood, then blow dry and finish the few remaining spots with MF towel.

And yes, the neighbors look at you funny. Ironically, I have seen a few of mine trying it after they saw me do it.



I have been using the elect leaf blower method on my lastest car and I have to say with a good coat of protection is makes drying the car a snap. Just need to hit a few spots with a WW towel afterwards and you are done!

My wife and daughter call it my big hairdryer for my car!
