Shop vac blower with long tube everywhere then finish up with microfiber and Adam's detail spray.

I use deionized water to rinse, so I just drive it. If I happen to get a little water spot from some non-deionized water trapped somewhere I just take care of it with a little quick detailer.

I use a QD or spray wax with a microfiber towel. I use a blower for the crevices.

tap rinse stream (flood mode on firemen nozzle), blower, then blot dry the rest using waffle weave.

then i usually QD the panels afterwards.

.. oh, and run a dehumidifier in the garage with a fan circulating the air for 5-6hrs.

yah, my car sits in the garage during the week so i need to rid the water out of the nooks and bottom of the car. this does the trick.

also good for sealing/waxing on a humid day. shut garage door, run the dehumidifier for like an hour, then start your process.

Seriously? In all seriousness, this thought has never occurred to me!
