          I've tried all kinds of things. Nothing is really quick or easy. Right now I do the squeegee first, then the leaf blower to get all the nooks and crannies then a towel(microfiber drying if I have one clean) to finish off the missed spots. Then I always have to go back with the detail spray to get off any water spot residue. Having hard well water SUCKS when you have a black car!

                Can't you rig up some sort of supercharged leaf blower?

                              i usually use an absorber but i lost it in the move. easily the best and simplest way to dry.

                              depending on the situation, i towel dry if im not picky or its night time, or if i plan to wax or detail soon to get the swirls out. normally, i use a cheap chamois i got from work.

                              ive done the leaf blower thing a couple times, but im too lazy to do it often. getting out the extension cord and all that jazz, plus you look like a real tool aiming a leaf blower at your car, haha. works wonders though, f-bodys hold water like a sponge in the deepest and darkest places that soon become the most obvious places.

                              i dry the whole car down, then take the t-tops off and do the seals and door jams. then, i drive around my cul de sac and get the water out of the hatch, blinkers, and mirrors, then touch it up with microfiber. the wheels just get a towel dry because i polish them lightly just about every wash with some mothers chrome polish and a rag or a light touch with the powerball.

                              then, i seal the deal with some meguiars quick detailer and turtle wax f21 for tire shine. f21 is a wonder product that ive been using since i could walk and would help my dad do his cars with it, back when it was called 2001. you can use it inside and out of your car, and it lasts for weeks.

                                i love washin my car but it really sucks because we have sand and crap in our water on the taps outside
                                we had somebody come over and look at it but they said its not really a problem, but anywho...i wish i could let mine dry naturally but it looks like crap especially bein black paint on top of sandy hose water...so with microfiber nice and dry i still have to use that detail spray stuff just to make sure...it seems its always a pain to get the car with no streaks...i havent used that mr. clean thing but im too afraid to buy it because i dont like gettin ripped off which seems to happen everytime you apply that no streak stuff at the car wash...yeah doesnt work for me but i dont know about the rest of you...lol
