I am in the same boat you are. I've heard of people using leaf blowers to dry their cars. I think they are using 205 mph torro electric leaf blowers if I remember right. This might have to be one of my next purchases.

I use a california water blade. Its made out of high grade silicon and works like a squeege (sp?). It gets almost all of the water off, then I use a towel to get the rest off. It works pretty well.

Try waxing your car. Or get Zaino, thats what i use, and it is so shiny i cant look at it when the sun is out. But beware, zaino is so shiny you will find every perfection in the paint(Or maybe this because i have a black car).

I use the absorber from pepboys. I think autozone and similar type places carry them. I think they work awesome.

California Water Blade. Doesn't scratch and takes almost ALL of the water off. Usually use one or two rags to finish the whole car.
