when done washing, remove the nozzle from the end of your hose, and allow the water to run over the panels, from top to bottomw. it will cause the majority of the water to sheet away. then use a nice, high quality Microfiber Waffle Weave drying towel and blot the remaining spots dry.
Tropi-care has some very nice waffle weaves at a great price.

Gipraw's suggestion and the leaf blower work well for me. Make sure your car is out of the sun too. I prefer to wash either in the morning or evening when I have more than adequate shade so that water won't dry on the car.

low pressure rinse and then 230mph leaf blower!
Leaf blower! There is no other way to get all the water out of the nooks and crannies like the side turn signal housings, under the taillights. Plus, what 1 towel can you use to dry your paint, glass, trim, wheels and tires? Yeah none....but you can with just a leafblower! WHOOT!

I use the california water blade to get most of it off and then microfiber towels (I have 3 big ones). Then I get out the air compressor and blow out around the mirrors, door handles, lights and grill
