I have a Metro Vac Sidekick Blaster - much much smaller than your monster dryer but it does a good job of blowing the water off the car after washing / rinsing. On paintwork that’s well protected with a couple of coats of wax or sealant, there’s very little water left to dry off with a towel after using the Sidekick. I can also get around the car quicker than I can with towel drying, which is an added bonus on warm days in a hard water area where water spots are an issue. It’s also possible to blow the water out of all those annoying water traps that continue to drip water when you think you’ve finished drying - door mirror housings in particular.I'm not even bothering with washing the car in the temps we have at the moment, it's hard enough at the best of times to stop it drying part way through..Me neither. Mines been washed no more than two or three times since the start of lockdown. When I do wash it during the summer months, it’s usually early in the morning before the sun gets too high in the sky; I can then park the car in shade to minimise the risk of the bodywork getting hot and water drying on. Looking at the forecast for the next week, it looks as if it’ll be staying dirty for the time being.

Nicely done although for me I just my DI Vessel to rinse the car off and no water spots as it purifies the water down to 0ppm.
