The best way to dry your car would be with a leaf blower. I'm sure others will chime in with their methods to washing/drying ranging from the traditional wash mit and shammy the whole way up to specific (and sometimes just plain out ****) ways of doing it.

You have crappy Mitsubishi paint... even using a leaf blower will put swirls on your paint... I suggest using nice microfiber towels to dry it off, and just expect that you're likely going to have to buff it once or twice a season to take it back to that showroom shine.
Ok I will try that and see how that goes...thanks
The BEST way around it is a leaf blower with a filter or one of those fancy upscale leaf blowers that are specifically marketed towards the car detailing crowd by offering a super special filter.
What I'm trying to say is, any leaf blower with a filter is your best option in drying, hands down.

Since not everyone has $$ / storage for a leaf blower... the other drying option is waffle style towels (traps the dirt in the pockets and doesn't drag it across the paint as much as other cloth).
Just make sure you don't wash your car in swirls... use up and down and side to side motions while washing. Get a good coat of wax on it as soon as you can as well.
