Get a proper drying towel, dry all of the car, you'll get a better finish. Simple.

I know what you mean. My van has a loose side trim which gathers grit and it don't matter how long you stand there with the hose - more still comes out :-(

hahah yeah my old nova had that! so annoying. yeah think i might have to invest with a drying towel but tbh every time i was it, i high resin polish it, to try and sway my never ending battle with the fade lord.

As in alloy frames? Ive got a good way of stopping that horrid trapped water from ruining down your car after your finished! you get down low and blow it out with your mouth against the door/rear wing from under it, or use a blower on a compressor etc.. then dry if off the panels with a drying cloth/towel.

You SRP it each time? Why not wax it, That will be better than continually removing paint. Ok its a tiny amount of paint and it would take a few years to go through it, but thats a lot of paint on a ****ty old red nova.

Microfiber cloths worth well as drying towels if you don't want to buy more stuff, Just don't use one of those wiper blade thingys.

SRP is more of a filler than paint remover
