i'm not saying this is better, and certainly it is more expensive, but I use a Spotless Deionizer. Obviously does not blow out the crevices, but I've not had residual hard water stains on the finish if it was thoroughly cleaned to begin with.
I run a water filter and if the car is not too dirty just use water and a microfibre cloth. I always use a leaf blower, ideal to get into those areas where water sits and can cause problems. You can use the venturi effect to draw the water from the corners of the windsreens, simply lit the corner of the seal and use the blower to expel the unwanted water. Another good spot is at the back between the lights and the rear PU and it's also good for removing water under the trims around the side windows, and lets not forget the wheels and discs. Make sure you use an electric blower, you don't wan't oily exhaust getting on your duco.
I use an inexpensive electric blower to dry my car.
After washing I drive it around the block then use a California Water Blade for the body then the blower for all the cracks and crevices and finally towel dry. Works great for me.
The Master Blaster isn't cheap; but, it is way more efficient. It easily blasts all of the water out of the channels under the window seals. If you look around, they are usually available at a discount. The nozzle is soft, so it won't damage your paint if it comes into contact. Mine is mounted on the wall inside the garage, with a 30' hose that allows me to dry the car with minimal effort.
I use the Ego battery powered blower, its nice not having a cord and has plenty of power. "Turbo mode" usually lets me blow off the entire car on one battery. It's overkill especially when using Deionized water for the final rinse, but helps speed things up just a bit.

Which deionizer are you guys using? Any recommendation?

+1 installed the same way. I don't think I save much time with the blaster, but you can do it all standing up, a real backsaver compared to towel drying, and it is actually kind of fun. The first time you use it plan on washing your car twice, because it will blow a lot of gunk out of places you didn't know was there. It's also an ace for blowing off your garage floor when installed on the wall.
