Do the water sheathing method prior to drying... gets 70% of the water off the surface, leaving less water to dry -> less drying = less chance of inducing scratchs.

After you finish washing the car, take off the hose nozzle, and let the water run off the paint. There should only be a few small puddles of water left on the paint for you to dry...

just dont leave your car running in the car wash while the spray is actually going, that's all

Does it make you want to beat a hooker, like the Shamwow guy did?

On topic:

I go to the Mr. Clean carwash when I feel extra lazy. Its an autowash, but they give it a soaking before the soft cloths hit the car.

+1 on that, I only began doing that recently and it makes such a difference. If you've recently sealed the car with a decent wax, drying after using the water sheeting method should take under 5 minutes for the entire car.
