They're only bad if you have contaminants still on your paint. Because then you'll be dragging those along with the blade.

I have one. Only use it for windows.

That's what I suspected. Kind of like using a dirty chamois.

I use a big waffle weave microfiber towel. You drape it on the car then walk around dragging it across takes about 2 mins total and is streak free.

I don't think there's a huge difference in this kind of a scenario. When I do use one (if I visit my family's place), I use my dad's, which is probably 25+ years old.

If the leaf blower is not soley used for drying a car, and is used in a dustless environment you are dusting your clean car with tons fine dust.

Cheers,
