I don't know anything about the electric blower in question, but have a 235 mph Black and Decker electric blower I got for about $39 USD to dry my cars at Home Depot.
I feel the problem of blowing rocks and other abrasive materials on the car with these blowers is somewhat of an "urban legend" -- unless one is washing and drying one's car out in the pasture.
Consider this. I wash my cars on a segment of my driveway that I first power wash down. I use the power washer to pre-clean and rinse the car with the pressure dialed down. Then, the blower is used for initial drying. At this point, there could be no rocks or abrasive debris on the driveway for the blower to pick up and blow on the paint. After this, the waffle weave microfiber has an easy drying job to do.
In a good number of years, the blower has done no harm. Is it possible that an electric leaf blower could blow harmful abrasive material against the paint on my car? Well, yes, if I were drying my car on a dry spot in the desert. But if I am drying my car on a wet, pre-cleaned spot on a concrete driveway? No. |
