Well....I just bought a Craftsman Leaf Blower for $30 and washed my bike. It was dry with in seconds with no spots and no dirt. I figured if you leave the blower out of the dirt you wont be blowin dirt. Works Great!

Thanks for everyones input!!
I saved $50 -70 bucks!!! Drinks on me!

You should try the Mr. Clean Car wash System with the no spot rinse it really works I use it all the time on my car and bike. When I use it on my car it doesn't leaves any spots at all on windows or paint you don't have to hand dry it. I use it on my bike and use the little Air Force blaster and that gets rid of 90% of the water the rest that I miss dries spot free.

I've used a shop vac, leaf blower and air dryer. The shop vac works well but it has to be clean, especially the filter. Air dryer worked fine until it broke. Never use an air comperssor. It has water and oil in the tank. Now I use my leaf blower and this works best of all. And, the wife thinks I bought it just so I could clean up the yard. Ha!
