\"Leaf<\/p>\n

I saw a video years back of someone using a leaf blower to clear the snow off their car and I was like that’s a great idea. We’ve had mild winters as of late with limited snow but this year we’ve had a few snowfalls already. At the end I have also included a short video of my experience with blowing snow off my car. <\/p>\n

How is this related to detailing? Well this is an alternative to snow brushes and broom removal tools where you don’t touch the paint. <\/p>\n

First I tried it with Ryobi blower and thought it worked pretty well. I actually really liked using it for the walkway in front of my house. The conditions were about 3 inches of snow. <\/p>\n

Next I tried it with the BLO Car Dryer<\/a> which I also thought did a sufficient job removing snow. This was another day where we got some light snow. One negative for the BLO is that I need to plug in but it does have a convenient 26′ hose compared to the leaf blower which is battery operated. There is a positive for the BLO that the leaf blower doesn’t have, heated filtered air. Meant for drying your car the heat can aid in defrosting some ice. <\/p>\n
