Water Always Seeping after a wash

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone else has to deal with the frustration of water always dribbling down the side door panels from the side mirrors, and from the spoiler down the rear bumper. Is there a technique of washing the coupe without having to constantly go back and wipe down the water marks, and then wait a few hours and go back and do it again?

Or is my car just "special".

Most cars have this. I use an electric leaf blower to dry my car - works pretty well.

dry off the mirrors and tie a microfiber cloth around them until they dry

That and slamming the door a couple of times. also removes water from the door handles. the side mirrors you can also fold and bring back to help remove some more water. parking it on an incline helps the pooled up water behind the mirror fall out as well.
