I actually purchased my business model one at Costco. The one's we carry on our site are nearly the same in quality and function, just a heck of a lot cheaper, easier to use, and friendly for the end consumer.

You can let it air dry as long as the car is not baking in the sun. Preferably, early morning, you can let it air dry. If you can't help but wash your car on Sat afternoon in 90 degree blazing sun then I would suggest adding a Waffle Weave Drying Towel and laying it on the car, patting it dry (not rubbing, sliding, massaging, etc.) then flipping it and moving on to the next spot. These towels are huge and very absorbent so you can still dry your car in a few minutes without leaving scratches or swirls.

Exactly, the water just slides right off, especially if it is a touch up wash and the car has a good coat of sealant or wax.

Ideally, I would invest in both a hard water canister/filter set, a waffle weave towel (as mentioned above) but also a quality, professional vac/blower

These are the lowest prices you should find on the net, if not, I will match them and provide a break on shipping, etc.
