i use my shopvac in blower mode to rid water in the nooks before doing a blot dry. if you are working in a dusty area dont use the blower.

blot dry is you place your towel on the damp area of the car and just gently press the towel, dont drag it on the paint.
yeah-i am afraid to do the leafblower since i am in my driveway and it has been dry here-dust galore.
I was using the Mr. Clean apparatus for just the filters(wolfgang auto bath) but I still have spots. I did not get the water softener yet to go on my hose-but taking the nozzle off might be better for right now.
i still have spots and cannot get them off. i am wondering if this "etching" you all talk about has damaged the surface ? i prob ahve to polish it to get them off at this point...
oh brother...
