....I'm beginning to think I'm the only one who doesn't go so far! I just handwash her when she's dirty - It might be a week or it might be a month between washes.

Is it just me or am I being too anal about this?

No and no. Yes I too drive round the block and then towel off :smug:

Regarding the rear window gap, I just give it a good blow and the water gushes out. The only down side is that I sometimes get a face full of water from the splash back.

The dribbles that annoy me most are the ones from the bottom corner of the rear window.  I just shove a piece of folded up kitchen roll in whilst I'm drying the rest of the car and by the time I do the windows it has soaked up all the excess water.

....Along with my Meg's Speed Detailer + Meg's cloth and Meg's Glass Cleaner + Meg's cloth, I always keep a kitchen roll in my boot. It's also useful for wiping oil dip sticks etc.

I used to that with my MK4,took a few bits of kitchen roll to soak it up,all over the drive by the time I was finished.
