Save you the effort….I have the same thing in makita. Its so slow. I started with that, then went to leaf blower, then went for a big boi. Also the risk with any blower without a filter is you suck in some grit and blast it onto your car. The heated big boi units are not cheap but they provide protected hot air, and lots of it.Im gonna cheap out and get this to blow the water off https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-workshop-blower-and-inflator-skin-only_p6290530

I think I know someone that works at repco, might see if it accidently goes on their staff accountOk feck it, I'll get a big boi.
The more heat and the more airflow the better, so just be mindful of that in making your selectionOk feck it, I'll get a big boi.
The big boi with the 5m hose looks the goods.The more heat and the more airflow the better, so just be mindful of that in making your selection
I got the Big Boi (2x filter system as opposed to 3x) one online from The Detail Store. I believe you can get a 5% off code for your first purchase. I also got the trolley for it, which makes it super easy to cart around. Otherwise you’ll need to wall mount it or come up with another plan - can’t leave it free standing. Most people recommend just filtering the water for the final rinse.I like the idea of a water filter too, where would one get one of those? I’ll put a double adapter on the tap so I’m only filtering the hose that I wash the car with.

I found their long hose means I can place the dryer behind the car and dry the entire car without moving the dryer. Filters are also available from plumbing stores like ReeceI got the Big Boi (2x filter system as opposed to 3x) one online from The Detail Store.

I have a 1 micron washable bag filter on the entire house (couple of hundred bucks). The amount of grit it pulls out is crazy. It has no impact on flow or pressure.I like the idea of a water filter too, where would one get one of those?

Nothing wrong with what you are doing. Blow drying is just a bit faster and less strenuous (but not a lot). If you do not have a ceramic coating blow drying is not going to work well.Would towel drying the car really risk causing scratches and swirls if its been cleaned properly using 2 bucket method and/or foam first?
Just bought the Twisted Sucker Pro from Supercheap on their big online sale. (Super huge thick drying towel)
I need an excuse not to buy more car stuff - for now
Good to know, thanks. I do have a coating, and honestly it makes cleaning so easy. I'll definitely look into the blow dry options in future.Nothing wrong with what you are doing.

Yeah, it is impressive. Other manufacturers are just shoving 90-100kW battery packs in there to try to match Tesla's range which means you lose out twice because 90% of the time you are just lugging around this huge weight that you don't really need.Wow this car is crazy efficient. Model 3 Highland RWD base model with 18" wheels. Drove from Sydney to Central coast and back and averaged 112 Wh / km. Granted the weather was a perfect 24C and only carrying one person but still amazing.
The myth exists because it has been true. Only the latest model 3 is anywhere near any comparable ice vehicle weightYeah, it is impressive.

That's also the reason why the myth exists that all EV's are so much heavier. True for other EV's but Tesla's are on par with a similar ICE vehicle.
That's completely wrong. The new model 3 is not signigantly lighter than the old, which was very much in the ballpark of a similar sized ICE vehicle.The myth exists because it has been true. Only the latest model 3 is anywhere near any comparable ice vehicle weight
