Nothing wrong with a leaf blower. I use my sears electric leaf blower all of the time after a washing. The last time I washed the engine, I used Griot's Engine Cleaner and rinsed it with distilled water. Followed it up with the leaf blower. I now use both an air compressor and leaf blower, one in each hand, at the same time. My neighbors think I'm strange. In fact, its about time to clean the engine again. I'll head out later this morning and perform the routine but I'll wear my spongebob boxers this time. I'm sure that'll get the neighbors chattering.
