I use a leaf blower on the wheels, and a bath towel on the car. I find it works good for me.

I use a microfiber towel and it doesnt leave any streaks or "spiderweb" scratches on the paint. I have a Lime green and black car also.

No I will actaully take the car for a little trip down the road first if I am home washing it. That way the water in the jams will either run out or get blown out before the final drying.

I too use a leaf blower around the grille, mirrors, scoops, fuel door, and rear end. Then of course a waffle weave microfiber towel. They're definitely a must have.

Waffle weave microfiber on the body, old fashioned chamois on the convertible top (don't ask me...just seems to absorb better there) and microfiber detail towels on the grill/wheels/nooks and crannies.

Now if I can only figure out how to correctly use a clay bar.....
