I have a gas powered Stihl leaf blower and it works fine. I start at the roof and blow the water downwards. After the roof, I work on the side with the blower held up high and I blow downwards. Then the water drops move down the door and off the car. If you try and blow sideways (seems to be the way I tried the first few times...doesn't work as well) the water gets moved around but not off the paint. I usually do 2 passes over the car and then I get out my good microfibre drying towels. I don't wipe down the whole car! I just have some drops of water in a few spots that I have to get off. The blower gets the water off the mirrors, door sills, wheels and trunk opening so you don't get the water running down the car as soon as you drive your car down the street.
