Water drips from side mirrors
not sure if this trick works for you guys, but this is what I do on my Z since I have the same problem..
Because the mirror housing can fold in and out.. I basically retract that thing back and forth, almost kinda violently, until all the water flies out. Kinda like opening and closing the door but with MUCH better results and less effort. If you guys are too afraid to do that on your cars then spend the $$ and get a leaf blower.

It has a soft sponge like finish and its great for drawing water out of mirror unit and also from around the grill and trunk. You may want to give that a shot.
thread is the water that drips from our mirrors and how to keep it from doing
so. Either a leaf blower or maybe if your g/f has that talent she might help.....LMAO!

I agree with the others about driving the car around after you dry it. For years I've driven around the block after drying the car. When I get back to the garage, I go over the car with my favorite detail spray (Zaino) to remove any dust and water runs. This gets water out of all the hiding spots. Nothing looks worse than a clean, shiny car and water drops all over.
I just tie my micro fiber towel around each mirror and wait for it to dry. I also leave a long micro fiber towel on the rear bumper and close down the trunk so that any water dripping down will collect on the towel.
