Default Leaf blower to dry and wax around the emblems


After waxing the car, there are quite a wax residue around the emblems. I've always used Q-tip to go around the emblems. Any other ideas?

Has anyone tried using a portable electric leaf blower to dry off the car after it has been washed?

Thanks.

Don't wax around the emblems, or be careful when you do, & you will not have that problem. It also sounds like maybe you are using to much wax.

Most of the time, I just my MF towel, or use a detailing brush.

While using the blower will dry the car off fast, I would not recommend it. The blower doesn't have a air filter. So if anything gets sucked up, it's going to get shot at the car, this can dent, scratch, or chip the paint.

2k S4,

Thank you for your comments. I will be taking the leaf blower back to Sears tomorrow.
