I have one of the datavac computer dusters. It works well for getting water out of the side mirrors, fender / trunk badges, etc.
I got it a long time ago and they were cheaper ( ~ 48.00 ).
I have an antique shop vac that the motor comes off to be a leaf blower of sort if I want more, but I have only used it 2 times.
- I go with the computer duster and them S&W - Towel combo.
I don't know if this is worth 180.00 for what you get.
If you are looking for getting water out of mirrors, go with something small like the Metro data vac or an electric leaf blower. Even after a wash I am going to use spray and wipe sealant or S&W on the paint so I am drying the paint anyway.
My 2 cents... Actually my opinion is worth what you paid for it.. zero :redneck:

No your opinion is appreciated for sure. I have also dried using the water sheet and QD combo but our water out here is just terrible so I thought about trying this method but with both our cars/trucks treated with Opti-Coat I am less concerned with touching the paint given how we also treat our MF.
That said, I did pick up a new electric power washer today so I am going to test out the foam cannon type products in the near future and compare them to Gilmore Foam Gun.
Just need to be home enough to test it out properly.

I have had this one for years and it is very effective:

Call me old school - or just plain cheap - but I just use my Stihl Leaf Blower. Not only does it do one hell of a job on the lawn, but it kicks butt in blow drying vehicles after a wash. Although that looks like a great product for blow drying vehicles, it probably won't work for crap on leaves.
If I were to go out and buy something new right now, I'd probably get one of the new rechargeable leaf blowers.
