My black 545 is notorious for water spots. Maybe the water in my city 
In any case, I got this hairbrained idea to use my Sears Craftsman blower to dry it off. I couldnt believe my eyes. Not sinlge water spot. Took a while, but it was worth it.
Granted, it looks funny doing it and people laughed as they drove by. But I found something that work for me...

hahah i am gulity of this toobut thats cause my wax was so thick that the water never penetrated and i had enough time to jsut blow the excess off.. also using the blower for the inside is great those for those hard to reach spots with dust, blows it right out then vacum over!!

I use one of these.
I leave some small beads of water on surface to provide lubrication for wipe down.

My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
Bought a 10hp leaf blower today. Should dry a car in 6 seconds but I am scared it would blow the car away also.
