got a 765 cfm EGO leaf blower because it was on sale at Lowes. Is it bad for the car?

I was browsing Slickdeals(yes, a very dangerous hobby). Apparently Lowe's had the EGO 765cfm leaf blower on sale. The price was down to $299 and they even threw in an extra battery(2.5a 56v) in a free bundle. I could resist because I had been following the price of the blower for a while.

Stopped by Lowe's this afternoon and bought it. After fully charging the battery, I played with it. All I can say is WOW. The air coming out of this blower is so strong that I was able to dry the car in less than 5 minutes.(obviously the ceramic coating helped) None of my previous blowers, gas or cordless, could even compare.

However, it got me thinking. The air is unfiltered. The specs showed 200mph and it sure felt like it. With that kind of wind velocity, will I end up doing damage to the surface of the paint?

I had also been considering Metrovac car blower/dryer. It has a filter for the incoming... or is that not really necessary?
