Sheet the water, follow with electric leaf blower, then waffle weave towel.

As for the wax, 1Z. Zaino is too time consuming.

As others have stated, use the sheeting technique to have the least amount of water possible on the car before drying. Then use the Chamois/ Waffle Weave to adsorb the water. Just let the chamois/Waffle Weave sit on the paint and let it suck up all that excess water. You don't want to drag it across the finish, just lay it down and pick it up, wring it out. After, go over the car with a regular MF towel to get any remaining water. Save the terry towels for the interior or door jambs. Good luck.

The Detailers Domain Big Blue Weave Towels are working great on the vehicle. Definally recommend them.

Good to know. The only Waffle Weave's that I have are Meguiar's which I bought along time ago, still working great though!
