I'm going to experiment with a hairdryer first, no doubt I'll look a complete pr-tt using one.

Bet you end up driving round the block, after the first time. Hair dryers are very noisy and neighbours like to look out when they know the noise is not a lawn mower or the bin lorries. You may end up on YouTube!

Driving round the block is not always an option (especially on a day like today by me), as its damp out. Not raining but the roads are still damp and puddles around so all the hard work cleaning the car is wasted by the splatters it picks up driving around the block.

Just sit a stuffed dog at the side of the car, and point the dryer at that if anyone's looking.

Mine is terrible for drips. A large amount of water is hidden behind the lower window trims. You can just see it hiding and when you think you have finished is just p!$$es down the side of the car. Also the mirrors have a habit of doing the same. To be honest it isnt too bad once you know where all the traps are.
Its a bit like going to the toilet and missing the last drop only not as embarassing Embarrassed
