Neat trick (not my idea, read about this several years ago).
Use a leaf blower after washing your car.
1) It makes towel drying much faster/easier
2) It gets water out of all those crevices that drip just when you thought the car was dry.
Gas blowers produce residue that can end up on your car, so electric is better.
PREFERABLY cordless.
If using a corded one, use common sense and at your own risk!

Compressed air is ideal - but the leaf blower method works well as a substitute. I will use the "sheeting" technique when washing my car, then dry it and get the crevices with the compressed air. And if you reaaaally want to be fancy, you use an air compressor dryer to make sure there is absolutely no moisture... but that's beyond my pay grade

I use leaf blower on motorcycle. I take the car for a 60mph blast down the road.
