Is this your company? I bought two of them. Thanks!

id recommend getting a mr clean auto dry system too. for the love of god don't use it for the washing part, but the water filter is good enough to be worth it. plus the filtered water spray comes out as like a plane of water which helps to rinse the car without leaving an excessive amount of water on it. definitely no cr, but a decent cheap solution.

What I do is drive the car around the block once (not too long because the water will dry). That gets a lot of the water out of the cracks (like the side mirrors). Then use a couple of micro fibers and bam! a dried car. (BTW, sham wows suck)

Again...a very bad idea. Here's why:

I won't even dry my car outside. After I "flood" my car (like many others have mentioned) I pull into my garage immediately so I limit the amount of airborne contaminates that can touch my car.

OP: the "flooding" method that's been mentioned works great....but only if you have product on your car.....and by product I mean wax or sealant. If you flood without having product....it won't really help very much. In fact it kind of makes it worse IMO.

i am ashamed, my brother-in-law got me one as a gag. it works ok...as for the car, i ususally sheet the car down and then use a leaf blower on a lower speed to get the water out of the rails and body panel joints.

No need to dry it completely, more important is to have deionized water so the mineral buildup isn't there in the first place. And even w/ minor water "spots" this will disappear during wax and buff

I bought a vac & blow and have an old shop vac as well. If you remove the sprayer from the hose and 'sheet' the final rinse, most of the water should just sheet of the car. You can then follow up with a blower if need be and then use a waffle weave to pat dry the car (less scratches)
