Leaf blower works well, never had a problem. you get more dirt hitting you while riding than with the blower.

If there is a lot of dirt use a good washing mitt and s100.

When the bike isn't that dirty I have been using the Mr. Clean system. It eliminates about 90% of the drying and you only have to spot dry areas with a microfiber towel. Clean and fast. http://www.mrclean.com/en_US/products/autodry.shtml.

one of my bikes was 8 years old when I sold it and it looked showroom with 130,000 miles on it ,I always washed it after rides with a good car wash soap and then blew it off with a leaf blower then finished with terry cloth towels ,every year I would use a clay bar to wash and then GM micro finishing compond for that real deep shine followed by Mothers wax
