I go to the local car wash once a week and use the spot free rinse for the last minute or so. I then drive it home for about 7 miles at 45 MPH. It's pretty dry by the time I get back to the house. I might hit it with quick detailer when I get home, but that's it.:D

I've had my car for 8 months and it has never been washed with water. I've been using this product on the Camaro and my other 2 old Chevies for over a decade. Use with the microfiber cloths and you'll be amazed.

I use Adam's products. Wash it with Adam's Car wash, Dry it off with Adam's Micro fiber drying towel and finish up with Adam's Detail Spray. They even have a great product for the vinyl and tires called Adam's VRT. Car looks beautiful every time.

My camaro is black and I use a electrisc leaf blower. It works great and the neighbors will think you are weird.

I use the Air Force Blaster motorcycle dryer. It works wonderfully.

I have also seen some others that can be used as a blower or vacuum and they can be found at griotsgarage.com.

I do the pooling rinse method before this. You can either use the hose with no nozzle, or if you use a watering nozzle, put it to "SOAK"

The white waffle weave towel is amazing. Even when totally saturated it picks up water. I also put a little detail spray on the car after doing the pooling rinse, and it comes out near perfect.

The cheap microfibers are also good for the fenders, and inside of the wheels.

The absorber works great.

I use the spot free feature on the local wash, then i just hit the freeway on the way home. the next day i see no water spots.

Ive heard that Borax works well.
