I use a 3 step dry process:

1) remove any nozzles from the hose, adjust the flow until the water only comes out the end of the hose about1-2" before falling to the ground (very low pressure), and 'chase' most of the water beads off the car. The sheeting action removes about 70-80% of the water from the car.
2) use a synthetic chamois to pull most of the rest of the water off the car, rinsing the chamois in a clean water bucket each time it gets saturated and needs wringing out.
3) Use 100% cotton terry towels to remove any lingering drops of water.

It sounds time consuming, but actually works out faster than just trying to get all the water off with towels!
