For a 120 V. outlet, I use this and it does a great job, blowing out water, plus I found it will do other things too.

Here is a much smaller blower for just $10:

ELECTRIC PORTABLE BLOWER - GARDEN - DRIVEWAY | Lawn / Garden

Very similar to the one Chemical Guys now sells for $39 or the Cycle Dry that sells for ~ $40. I haven't seen the one that CG sells but I have both a Cycle Dry and the cheap $10 one I gave a link to. I love the Cycle Dry because it is small and very easy to use in drying off wheels/tires and blowing water out of nooks and crannies. The $10 version is not quite as nice quality wise but for the price it's hard to go wrong. I have a larger air compressor in my garage but I always grab my Cycle Dry to get water out after drying. If you think an extension cord is too bulky wait until you drag around an air hose.

If you do decide on an air compressor heed the advice to get a large one. I hooked my Tornador to a small compressor once and it was a real pain to use. Sears starts having some pretty decent sales on their Craftsman compressors in the fall/winter if you can wait a while.

I use to use an air compressor to blow the water out of cracks and hard to get places on my cars. While it works pretty good a leaf blower works even better and is great for drying off the whole vehicle.

I use my shop vac. Other outlet for blowing. I have a reducer and pieces similar to the metro vac n blow. that seems to be enough pressure for me.
