Hi all! My R56 got its first bath yesterday (no waxing or polishing yet, just a wash), and I used an Absorber (chamois) to dry it as I had always done with my previous car. First of all, it took forever as I had to pause constantly to wring it dry. Secondly, it took so long that it left horrendous water spots all over and I basically had to wash again.
Some friends of mine suggested the California Water Blade to remove the majority of the water before toweling the car dry. I'm hesitant to use the water blade as I've heard it can cause damage to the paint.
In any case, what technique has been the most successful for you? Thanks!
P.S. I also discovered a difficulty in getting the honeycomb grille dry (too many little holes!). Anyone have any experience with that? There's only so much time I can devote to inserting a bit of MF towel into each opening, one by one.
