I could also see the possibility of touching the car when trying to get close to it, so thought I might try applying a bead of silicone seal around the tip to prevent any marks if I accidentally touch the tip to the body.

Toro electric from Home Depot is the way to go. Been doing the blower methods for many decades and I can't imagine without it.

As you guys already know, the water in the nooks and crannies seems to never end to drip. Being able to blow the water has been the best benefit for me. I just hate it when after many hours, you see dried mater marks from the drips. Oh, how about when you take your car for a spin and as soon as you pick up speed, water somehow appears from nowhere.
