Default Put a sock on it
Drive a few minutes and the sock will absorb the water. Not that I do this, but it should solve the problem.

With a garage like that, you must have an air compressor. Use it.

Default I hate that so much. Another problem spot for me has been the chrome trimming around the windows. I
usually just carry around a towel w/ me and wipe down the spots when I see them.
