Watched your video on the comparison. You came to the same conclusion that i came to. What i think makes the biggest difference in drying time is having a freshly waxed car.
leaf blower drys the car super fast as long as there is a recent coat of wax on the car. Otherwise it takes longer as the water doesn't clump together as easily.
The wax part is as key as the paint being clayed. If the paint has been clayed, polished and waxed, the majority of the water comes off in BUCKETS during the pooling rinse. Once you hit it with the Master Blaster or the electric leaf blower, it's a done deal.
If you EVER see me working by hand, call an ambulance because I have went bananas. Here's your thread. You're going to be up for awhile.
I use a leafeblower. All air is heated here in AZ. And I have never had a problem with it not blowing hard enough. I've seen people use compressed air in the nooks and crannies but that sleeves me out. Blowing air that intense at seals just doesn't feel right. But the leafeblower works fine for me. And then if I get a small run under the mirrors or whatever, I just catch it with a clean waffle towell.
Also, having good water is key. I use the griots in line filter and it does wonders for our ultra hard water out here. It makes it so that when the water evaporates, it doesn't leave dissolved solids behind (spots)
