I use the Mr. Clean auto dry car wash kit. It has a setting to filter the water for a spot free rinse. You have to buy the filters and one lasts about 7-8 washes but saves a ton of time drying. I still dry up the spots where water hangs around like the hood scoop and mirrors but I don't have to dry the entire car.

Works perfect.

I also use the flood method, but I skip the leaf blower portion and move straight to the waffle weave microfiber.

The Mr. Clean car wash system works excellent. Follow the directions then go for a drive after washing to dry off the car. After I do this, it looks like my car was just waxed. Also makes chrome wheels nice any shiny.
