ThisMicro Fibers and electric leaf blower.
I go for a lap around the block to coax out the last water and wipe it off with a microfiber cloth.
I use the "Spot free Rinse" at the local car wash after having hand washed the car. I then use a blade to get the water off the windows and roof. Then, I go for a drive of 5 miles down a certain road where I can hit 100 a couple of times without fear of getting caught. By the time I get home, the only water left is on the trunk. I blow that off with a gas powered leaf blower or with my air compressor. Then I'm done. Anything I didn't get doesn't leave any marks because of the spot free rinse.
If I'm going to wax the car, I wash it at home with my pressure washer and the Mr/ Clean spot free rinse attachment. It's getting harder and harder to find the filters for it though. But even if I don't use the Mr. Clean thing, I get right on it with the Absorbatowel after having used my leaf blower to get most of the water off of it. I try VERY hard not to use anything like cloths to dry my car. The blade works great, but if you missed something lower on the car, you'll end up scratching the hell out of it. The roof never has anything left over on it though, so I feel fine using it up there.
SPOT FREE RINSE is the shit though. Make sure you soak the review mirrors, scoops, glass and the hood/truck runners/crevices. Then drive the car to dried out perfection.
Be glad you don't have a black car. That is all I have to say about that, lol
Yeah, my last three cars have been black. I'm now in my 40's, so that's why I went with a red car! I didn't use the same wash regimen for those cars as I do now.
Black looks awesome....the best color out there when it's done right but just removing the dirt is an in-depth PITA. But man, that's like trying to remove Tammy Faye Bakers makeup. It's gonna take a long fucking time to do it and once you do, you might just get the shit scared out of you by what you find under that layer of shit.
