Anybody got any tips or tricks on drying? I once used my leaf blower. I hate water spots.

A drying towel or something like the metro is great for drying.

Try doing a search...you will come up with 1,000 posts on it.

I use a 3hp wet/dry vac to dry mine and get no water spots.

I use a wet dry vac and a absorber towel, I actually suck the water up instead of blowing it off

I use the flooding method (letting the hose water flow over your car) to get a lot of the water off my car. Next I spray on some drying aid like Griot's Spray on Wax or Aquawax and finish drying with a microfiber drying towel.

Several have mentioned microfiber drying towels. My paint is fresh and I am waiting out the 90 day curing process. So the mf towels won't put swirls in the paint?

If not sure use a blower.

Towels dont necessarily put swirls in your paint. Its what on top of the paint like a film of dirt and the grit being pushed around that cause the swirls. If your car is squeaky clean and your using a plush good MF towel to dry you will not have any swirls or scratches from drying.
