I did a search before I posted and you mentioned that you always blow dry yours. What was the main reason you started? Mine is mainly to save time so I can get to the other stuff.

1. It saves a lot of time. You could get almost every drop off of the car but it's not necessary. I get it mostly dry and follow up with a drying towel. It's fantastic for blowing the water out of cracks and impossible to reach areas; cracks where body panels meet, around the handles, grille, emblems, mirror housings, wheels.
2. It let's you dry the car with a lot less towel contact on the paint. One of my biggest disappointments on the G is the fragile finish that mars so very easily from even delicate contact with soft MF towels. Using air let's me get the job done with less wiping over the surface, hence less chance to scratch/swirl the paint.
3. My climate is hot and sunny for most of the year and drying quickly helps lessen the chance if getting water spots dried on. It's not 100% possible for me to always avoid washing in direct sun. Baked in water spots are difficult to remove. Since I have hard water and haven't committed to the huge expense of a water deionizer, it helps keep the spots away.

Works pretty good
I just used the blow and vac to dry the car. Not sure what I was expecting, but of course it will not dry it totally. It does however do it about 90%. Pretty impressive and definitely faster than going by hand, which usually takes me two big MF towels and close on 45 minutes.
I also used P21S and it really does take everything off. About to go buff off a sealant and then start waxing.
Verdict on Vac and Blow: Will not totally dry car. Power cord is too short and you will need an extension cord. Air hose is too short to do roof and you will be carrying the machine to do the roof. You would NOT buy this product just for this function. However it is a great vacuum and this function is just a bonus.
