ICE interior cleaner is the best i've found for in the car.
I've used ICE syn wax and find it leaves a swirling affect thats a p.i.t.a to get perfect, I won't use it on the paint anymore , for plastic trim and moldings it works great.

meguires gold class paste, Then detail spray between waxes, and the cali duster is the way i go.

 

I've both a leaf blower and a Metro Blaster. The benefits of selling Zaino is I get to write it off. I use the blaster on the HHR because I work indoors and there's not enough room over the top to fit the leaf blower. When I had a Camaro I used the leaf blower because I thought it worked better and it costs less than 1/3 as much. On the bike I use the Blaster because it's easier to handle for that. On the car, dragging the blaster around is a lot of trouble. Someday I'll put it on wheels.

And while they claim the hot air is a benefit, I think that's just marketing hype, the big motor and small hose create the heat and since it's there they tout it as a benefit but it just makes the water dry faster and I don't want it to dry as that causes spots, I just want it blown away so it's not there.

With either the leaf blower or the Blaster there is always a little bit of water that needs to be removed with a towel but they both let you dry the wipers, license plate frames and lug nuts which is a big improvement over a towel.

I have a toro leave blower i hav'nt used in years, Huh, I'll give it a shot, when the weather clears up, in about 7 months.

 

I didn't mention "electric leaf blower" which I should have. Gas ones tend to run the exhaust out the blower to increase the volume and you don't want to use that for drying a car.

If you use it right it there are very few drips. Some thimes I have none.

THe roof is the hardest part. It runs off into the drains on the rockers. I often will start the SS with the defrosters blowing full to push the air our of the drains and the doors.

The air temp is just right it is enough to deal with the damp surface but not enough to dry the water to the surface the little heat make a differance. THe hose will become warm as you work but not hot.

The problem with leaf blowers it the lack of heat and the fact many are 2 cycle and will blow oil onto the paint as you dry it with older blowers or if you have a little to much oil in the gas. No to mention they stink the garage up.

The blaster is not work free but if you have the money to buy one it is a useful tool.

Compressors are ok but the lack of warm air makes them hard to use when cold. THey just move the water not dry it.
