^ shit beat me to it. That's the best way to dry.

If i have to go to Freedom (apt living) then i sure as shit make sure to spray off the brush well. That's the most dangerous tool they have there - but overall it's not bad for a wand-wash. Obviously it can't compare to hand washing. I miss having a driveway.

One Grand Blitz Wax gives a good shine and is very long lasting. On applications where I don't really care about long lasting and am looking for shinier, I like P21S.

How noisy is your blower? I have an electric one that sounds like a fire siren. I forget the brand but it's orange and black. I have to wear ear plugs.

Mine is a craftsman. It's not quite, but no where near loud enough to need ear plugs.
