See that's the thing, I have a larger battery leaf blower but it's fairly unwieldly, and the end of the nozzle is something like 2.5-3". I'm looking for a smaller, more directed static pressure solution.
Check online for the model of your leaf blower and add "stubby nozzle", there are a lot of people making smaller diameter nozzles for a lot of leaf blowers specifically for car drying.
You can also check AliExpress for those new "turbine" style hand help dryers. I have seen plenty of videos out now and those things are amazing. I have the BigBoi Mini+ now, I had a Toro turbine leaf blower before and I can tell you that the lack of noise from the blower whistling near your head is worth the investment. It is still noisy, because of the noise the wind makes when it hits the car, but the blower itself is quite.
One thing about ONR, and something I was skeptical about until I went to the Optimum Academy to get certified as a Pro Installer. It works as intended, do yourself a favor and buy the "big red sponge"(BRS), not the gold one. I think the Rag Company have their own sponge now as well. I am still using the first sponge I bought in 2018 when I went there, and it is still holding on after 2 years of professional detailing, and 3 years of weekend warrior. If you are using a towel, yes, you have to use multiple ones, fold in 1/4 and then use a face for every swipe... as a pro I didn't have time or the amount of towels needed for that nonsense. Especially when the BRS was designed to be used with ONR to release the dirt from the sponge when dunked into the ONR bucket. With ONR and the BRS there is no need for two buckets. Well, I do use a second one dedicated just for wheels.
Get a bucket with a grit guard, a BRS, a few of
Spectrum 420 or a pack of
Creature Edgeless to use in crevices, under the door handle, etc..., and a decent drying towel like the
Double Twistress with a coating design to be cleaned out of the drying towel and you are set for rinse-less washing. There are a lot of drying towels, from the ones I have used, that one is my favorite. They have 2 new models that I have not tried yet, maybe this summer once I move into the house I would order some to try out.
I have bought from the Rag Company since the early 2000's, and even if I find their products slightly cheaper elsewhere they have my business all day long. Outstanding customer service, fast order processing and shipping. And the amount of videos they put out on YT helping detailers is second to none.
- but a very good explanation of a procedure that works well.
