I don't dry mine off because I don't ever wash it. Seriously! I use Mother's waterless wash & wax. Amazing product and with the right microfiber towels no scratches. However, if it does get rained on (is a daily driver) I might run it to a bay and just spray it off ( to get any large grit off) and then I usually just dry it off my running it home on the interstate...lol. And then when I get home use my Mother's product. Just my process
