smartin Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 So, other than some kind of blower, has anyone found a way of getting all of the water out of the area around the high level brake light on a 981 after a wash? It seems that no matter how much time I spend jamming all sorts of drying towels to draw the water out, after a single drive it always seems that more water comes out and runs down the rear deck. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXY Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 What's wrong with a leaf-blower? Cheap as chips from Screwfix etc. And you can dry the door handle area, wheels etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 a blower or a short drive is the only way. There is foam pads stuck between the light and the boot - thus no chance of just mopping it up with a microfiber towel. That said opening the boot helps release the water a fair bit.

RickLS7 Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Air compressor, much easier than bulky leaf blowers for drying off brake discs etc. Awesome for giving the interior a blow job for the hard to get at dirt! Also have an impact driver for wheel nuts and a tyre inflator for it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I also use my leaf blower to blow leaves! And to start the BBQ 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A BBQ is not a BBQ unless it uses charcoal 😃 The leaf blower does blow the charcoal away unless you are careful though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_L Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 I clean cars generally about twice a year but have one of these for drying the fiddly bits. Untitled by Alex L, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
