    This may sound lame but I use my electric leaf blower and then follow it up with a microfiber towel to get all of the excess water. The leaf blower blows all of the big water off.

    Just a chamoi but I'm thinking about trying out that water blade to speed things up. You have to be fast here. Water spots are lethal!

    I use a water blade sometimes late at night or early in the morning, also I love the Mr Clean car wash thingy works great as long as its cool no drying hit any water spots with instant detailer.

    Try the link above. Ebay auction for a nifty little product a detailer recommended to me. It folds up/stores inside a small plastic container and is ready to go once you pop the lid. I've used it 5-6 times now, and find it to be extremely absorbant, soft and easy to use. Guaranteed not to scratch and works better than a chamois IMO.

    Went back to check the link, and realized it's password protected.......anyway, go to Ebay and search for:

    P21S Super-Absorbing Drying Towel
