That includes cars that cost 100k plus. It's a great thing that you're worried about keeping it looking good, but don't stress so much to where it drives you crazy. No point in buying a nice car if you can't/don't enjoy it. Enjoy it, drive it, keep it clean and protected and correct it as it's needed.

That's true. Reminds me of playing tennis tournaments etc.. Stressing about winning etc when in fact should enjoy the ride

I do on my Acura since it has buttery soft paint, I just use a HF leaf blower, it takes just about everything off. I will follow up with a MF towel using the pat down method for the tiny beads left over. I have PNS on both my Acura and on my wife's X3 which I'll blow dry too but not as OCD on it as mine!

If you watch the car sealant comparison YouTube videos, blowing off the water on well maintained paint will be a “breeze.” Sorry, couldn’t resist. If the paint has a good layer of wax or sealant, most of the water will fly off the surface with a blower. Water will cling on to unprotected paint when you blow it and you’ll have to wipe it up after.

I noticed with sealants (don’t use wax) water does not blow off so as well. Have seen this TW seal and shine and hydro silex. Works awesome with a coating and cosmic did well. I would think it would work well with a wax also.

I use IGL Premier. Water blows off pretty good.
