Since when does Brickseek only allow you to put in one zip code? I went to check another zip and it only shows Internet number now.
I figured out you have to go into the account settings and change your zip settings everytime you want to lookup a different zip code and apparently it only lists 2 stores max now too. What a joke brickseek has become. Good luck charging $10 a month.
Couple things here.
1. Waxed car. No wax and the water won't bead, so it'll be a big flat wet paint surface.
2. Tap water and minerals.
The old mr.clean auto dry car wash kit had a deionizer + filter cartridge that got rid of junk in the water. Nowadays, Amazon etc have other, larger water deionizer filter kits that do the same.
Get rid of the minerals, no or less water spots = no need to wipe dry as the water beads on a waxed surface and rolls off easier deionized and filtered.
3. Air nozzle speed.
Air compressor and tiny air compressor nozzles usually blasts air far faster than a lawn blower. Meaning you'll definitely get all the water blasted off with an air compressor, maybe with a lawn blower (which is like those drive thru car washer blowers).
You'll just have to stick the nozzle closer to the paint surface to compensate.
This good to use when washing cars to blow the water dots off the exterior of the car vs wiping down with a microfiber?

Picked one up last week for $100. Dead battery. Had to return it and get another. Thankfully the second one worked. Probably why they were putting these on clearance.

I trust you tried charging it, but I've had a Ryobi battery come up DOA out of the box -- charger would flash error, alternating red and green.
If anyone finds themself in a similar situation and there's no others in stock to exchange, I've found Ryobi's RMA process to be pretty simple. They sent me a replacement battery and I didn't need to send my dead battery back. YMMV.

I had a Ryobi 40v fail, but a few month in and still under warranty.
Same experience, easy RMA, just recycle battery locally (Home Depot) and get replacement in about a week
It does the trick for sure, although you have to get kinda close so it takes a bit of time
Even at 550 CFM? I have seen some channels do reviews on the eGO blowers and they praise them. It might be the 600+ CFM models? But even 550 CFM units can't get the job done efficiently?
This deal is worth for just the battery alone! My HD showed out of stock within 100mile radius but decided to try my luck anyways. Sure enough, after scanning the top shelf's, there they were collecting dust. For those looking for this deal, may be worth still checking and looking around. Bought 2 for $75!
Homedepot.com does not provide store inventory for clearance items.
It did for me. Said item was on clearance at my local store with number in stock and had a link to check the price. It must be new because I've never seen this before.
