Anyone else do this?
After I hose off my car, I take off the nozzel and hose the car down (I put the nozzel close to the body panels without altering the stream of water). It forms a big sheet of water on the surface and leaves the car almost dry... It saves me about 10-15 minutes in drying time. Anyone do this?

MANY, MANY people use this method. It really helps with the drying process.

also creates less potential scratching because you can go one step further and lightly blot the leftover water . Get yourself a good microweave microfiber towel and you'll wonder if there was ever any water on your car to begin with.
