Rigid shop vac is the *****. Multi purpose is sweet. protect all and microfiber towel kills the spots on everything.

.....Best Blow Job around.
[sm=confused06.gif]Well, I wouldn't say that

Use a Air Force Master Blaster at the shop and it works great. Use a $40 cycle dry dryer at home and it works ok, but not as good as the master blaster.

I purchased metro quick draw (make sure it is the pet version cause it comes with the hose) works great, the warm air really does help dry faster, I used a leaf blower before and thought I would try it, big improvement.

Electric leaf blower. Then microfiber and Plexus. Just bought some Honda cleaner/polish. Don't know yet, but it might be better than Plexus.

Hand wash with Meguiars Deep Gloss and microfiber wash mitt, then Mr.Clean system (special soap and filtered water). Works great for me...

Air Force Master Blaster for me. I need to develop a better technique though when using it, since I seem to spend a lot of time blowing the water onto parts that I just dried. This can go on for a while.......

For the quick and easy...S100 wheel cleaner and a small brush for the wheels. Mr. Clean Auto-Dry and cycle dry. For any extra dropplets I usemicrofiber cloths. Just did two bikes in under 30 minutes.

Mr Clean Wash system and $29 toro leaf blower works great. Here in Florida I use it year round.
