    I use a leaf blower/vacuum, a bit noisy, but Mrs T. can also use it to tidy the garden & we don't have a dog anymore.:frown:

    Cool! Let us know how it goes bumblebee I'm interested in how well it works.

    The dog ones don't come with those lovely 'biker flames' down the side that obviously everybody with a bike will love.

    That also drags the crap across your paint.... Microfiber towels great but don't drop them.... Pick up so much dust and crap....

    That's true same as microfiber mits or sponges they need a good scrub to get the crap out of them. At least 4 MF towls need I think 2 to use and 2 in the wash for next time! - Getting a bit anal with this cleaning malarkey.

    I do realise I might have inadvertently just set myself up for a lot of anal jokes now, I forgot about Pig he loves giving abuse about using words like anal - anal abuse you could call it.

    Unfortunately not, a one way trip to the vets. Not so much 'passed away' more like, 'helped on his way'. :rolleyes:

    Doesn't the leaf blower blow dust all over your bike? Our B&Q leaf blower must be about 4 ft long - tricky getting in around the engine...

    After watching the video I'm hoping the blower will be at least as good for drying the car - tried both leather chamois and the new microfibre ones but they still leave water marks all over the car - and then after spending ages getting all the water off you open the boot or drive down the road an another half a bucket appears out of nowhere! :mad:

    If you use softened water them you dont get the water marks and it almost dries itself....

    How do you 'soften' the water?
