Water streaks on windows

I do not have the infamous grease streak problem, but everytime I wash my car water from the bottom window seal keeps leaving streaks on my windows, sometimes up to two days. I know this would be expected soon after the wash. Having the problem for couple of days is annoying, since it forces me to keep my windows closed for the duration or have water spots. Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

Yeah, same here, keep a small towel with you to at least wipe the insides when you roll up the window. Don't know of any other solution except to use a leaf blower after you wash the car, roll down the windows and dry out the doors (of course your neighbors will think you are crazy!).

Re: Water streaks on windows

I use a leaf blower to dry the entire car. It makes the drying process
"touchless" and rids all drips from door handles, window trim and
even the sunroof edges. You might look like an idiot blowing your
car dry, but the results are worth it! The windows look like they
were windexed clean.

God I love this car!

Compressed air works the same but not even close to the speed of a blower. Caned Aair works for the window sills problem.
