I'd try a microfibre drying towel, mine is awesome.

Also, make sure you go round it a couple of times drying it, water tends to drip down from the wing mirrors and seals on mine and I spot them later on and GRRR

Hope you find a solution :)

I know what you mean, whenever me and my mates finished washing / drying and waxing the car etc we usually take the car out for a quick 2 min journey round some round abouts and whatever else which usually gets the remaining bits of water out.

With the last touch, do you make sure the car is dry before putting it on? Surely there is a cheaper way of making sure there are no water marks? Dry it it before the wind drys the water marks in? Or does this still give it a wet look as well?

You don't need to wait for your car to be dry to use Last Touch.

Last Touch can be used as a drying aid, so you spray as your drying with your towel.

Don't wash it in the dun so the car drys fast. Wash it in the cooler evenings. So you dry it rather than the sun bake the marks on.

or wash it a panel at a time working from the top down... its not too hard to rinse it and then dry it as you go along
