Everytime i wash my car it leaks water from the trunk and doors for a couple hours after i wash the car... i open the doors and trunk and dry everything and still water is hiding somewhere and i cant figure it out.. Also w/ my wheels puddles of water sits in the inside of lip and after cleaning the wheels and driving it the water just splashes back onto the clean lips... do u guys all have these problems??

I take a spin around the block. Been doing this for years for all my cars and it works great. When I do that, I pop the hood and all the doors, just leaving the doors semi closed but still has that crack will help get out all the water that's hidden in jams and what not. Then pull back into the garage to finish wiping off any extra water, mostly leaking out from the rear.
Edit: Taking it around the block will help get rid/vaporize any water stuck on the brake pads, rotors and rims.
