Can I let my 4Runner air dry?

[garlic4runner]

I washed my 4Runner for the first time today by going to a local gas station and using their self service high pressure system. First I chose the soap and water option and gave the vehicle a once over and then switched to water only and rinsed her down. I also gave a quick bit of attention to the under-body but didn't really get to far under. I then drove home and left her in garage that is not heated. Am I asking for trouble not drying it off at the gas station? :cowboy:

No promblem letting it air dry bit u might get water spots depending on how hard your water is.

You can let it air dry, but what I do to her er' all dry it take the leaf blower, run it full blast, gets dry with no water spots and my leaf blower has the power of those blowers at the end of some car washes that are the no touch kind

thanks to you both

I don't really care about water marks as long as it wont damage the vehicle so I guess letting it air dry is not a big concern.

Water spots are no big deal, not going to damage anything. I just don't like them, IMP it makes it look like you don't care & makes it look like a sloppy job.

Water spots are better than those who say they care about their car and wax it, but yet they leave the haze on there without buffing it off. :lol:

It should be fine. Every once in a while I let mine air dry. I'll go over it with spray detailer at another time to get rid of water spots.

think about it, every time your 4R is out in the rain it air dries. Just won't look great.

lol I thought so, but I like having a super clean ride... there are too many pieces of sh!t around my area, although if it's super clean that might attract vandles.... tome to go find mud

 

[SUBTEGRAL]

Yeah, why exactly is it that vandals go after really nice vehicles?

sheer jealousy? .. ****ed up world.
