excess water

Hey, was wondering if any one gets excessive water from spoiler,side view mirrors, and tail lights? Gets aggravating washing and drying the car only to have water drip from those spots a little bit later. Thought about getting compressed air cans to force out the water, but not sure. Live in a apartment so no outlets to power a anything.

Get you a gas-powered leaf blower

Heh, ya, that actually sounds like a better idea than compressed air cans. I may try the one tip I saw on forum of using towels wrapped around side view mirrors. I may do something similar with spoiler/tail lights.

Yeah.
But if you could get power (from an extra long extension cord) ebay a cheap electric blower.

Yes. It usually doesn't bother me. Sometimes I do get the compressor out though

Dry from the top down, put a microfiber cloth at the joints for a few seconds to absorb all the water from the crevices.

That usually doesn't bother me too much but there's been a few times I took out the trusty ol' leaf blower. If you don't have access to one then I would use a microfiber cloth to get in those small crevices as best you can

I use compressed air from my compressor.

Get yourself a compressor. Pneumatic tools make it really easy when working on your car.
