    microfiber or leaf blower

    Hey guys tell me what you think.

    Will drying my black car with a microfiber scratch my CC or should I spend $200 on a leaf blower?

    With any good ceramic coating a good high volume leaf blower with blow the majority of the water off the paint and a good quality automotive microfibre towel can capture the rest. Stay away from the cheap MF towels as it can still scratch.

    Be sure to use the leaf blower only on the car, no extra leaf blowing.

    Leaf blower first, finish with a good MF.
    If you’re really concerned there is actually a blower made for cars that has a filter on the inlet, popular with Harley guys. A standard leaf blower is pulling unfiltered air and shooting it at your car, so any dust or crap in the air it picks up can obviously scratch.

    Thanks for that scrape. How do I know the difference between a good microfiber and not a good one? I guess the price is a good indication. Also, if I have to use a microfiber towel after the leaf blower, why bother with the blower? Also what's your opinion on PPF?

    Pan the Organizer is a YouTuber and is a Canadian who provides decent reference on detailing.
    Watch this video on everything you need to know about microfiber towels.

    Here is a video on the best towels to buy.

    And lastly here is everything about blowers.


    As for PPF I believe that I gave my opinion on another thread.
    Have a look first and if there are any additional questions please feel free to PM me. In the mean time have a look at this video on Ceramic vs PPF.
