http://www.airshammy.com/ I also hated to dry my bike, but after purchasing one of these, that changed. I have the mid price range style. Good luck.

And this one

Guys, I have a blower made to blow dry bikes and cars, by the time I'm ready to blow the water off its too late in some spots when washing in the sun. CO and AZ guys must know what I'm talking about, very low humidity here(thank god!) and strong sun. I'm interested in someone's experience with a di system. They can be used for home windows also.

Do you have soft water at the house? I have HARD well water as well but soft water in the house. I tapped into soft side of the unit with a standard hose bib (the unit is in the garage), run a garden hose out the garage to the nozzle or power washer. Blow it off with a device of your choice and it is nearly spot free from the getgo...

No water softener. Our water is not especially hard or soft, just enough to leave marks. But that's a nice setup.

I've been using the Mr Clean system for years. Absolutely love it. The cartridges last for at least 10 washes and are easily replaceable.

Camco Taste Pure inline water filter and the air shammy. Change filter after spots start to appear. Can be purchased at local RV stores. Also a good polish helps bead water off better.

I haven't bought them in quite a while but a quick check shows Amazon still has them. They used to sell them in 10 packs. I don't remember them being that expensive tho.
