Thanks fellas!
Ya I actually enjoy "sheet rinsing" the Z, the wife thinks its crazy lol...I'll have to try drying with the towel damp, maybe hit the glass with it first...Good point about pressure on the mit and towel, I try to be smooth about it, but i'll pay closer attention when washing not to put to much pressure on the mit.
Investing in a leaf blower this weekend for sure, also wondering about a foam gun...Probably would help to lay down a layer of suds prior to hitting it with the mit, perhaps create a little fluid film lubrication lol
Thanks for the input guys
