    No money, all went to truck...
    I agree, if you got a good polish leaf blower will get most of the water off. What I especially like if you get the water out of all the rubber moldings and stuff.

    Busted CV boots and lots of squeaks.
    I have a silicone thing that you drag across the wet surface, and it pulls most of the water off, then finish up with a microfiber towel.
