So how do I dry my paint? WATCH.[/QUOTE]

Using air to blow water off the paint works well. About 95% well, unless you have inifinite amount of time and patience.
Any leafblower can do the trick, though ones with shorter nossles make it easier to maneuver.

Quality microfiber drying towel can definitely help.
Most effective after you've already blown most surface water off the paint with iar. In some cases, towel is the best and the quickest way to go.

You seam to be implying that using a clean microfiber drying towel leads to swirls. That is not accurate.

Both approaches can dry the car well, though one of the two is much quicker than the other.

YMMV,
