I just went outside a 1/2 hour after I dried my truck after washing it. I have water lines down the truck from from window and door crevices. I thought I did a very thorough job drying it this time. Any solutions to stop residual water from streaking your truck?
Thanks in advance, Tony
Drive it right after drying.

Use a water filter to remove minerals from the water that you use to wash your truck or use the spotless rinse at a Pay and Spray car wash.
Find those spots and us your air compressor to blow out the residual water. That is if you have a compressor...

I use a leaf blower to remove the water from window/door crevices, behind the headlights/tail lights, mirrors, etc, it works great. If you don't have a leaf blower, you can use a Shop Vac set up as a blower, remember to make sure the Shop Vac is clean.
Bingo! I also use my gas leaf blower to blow dry the engine after washing it, blow away light dustings of snow/powder (less than 1/2 inch), start up a charcoal barbecue...

Charcoal Barbecue...LOL! Flame On!
Leaf Blower Dryer... WAY better then ANYTHING to dry that truck down. Great on motorcycles too.

PS. Plus the look you get from the neighbors is priceless.
Put some Jetdry (dishwasher wetting agent) in the rinse water and then drive around?
And when all else fails, touch it up with either Eagle 1 Wax as You Dry or Maguiar's Mist and Wipe to remove the spots.
