Obviously, you cannot wash you car in the hot sun. With a drying agent and a leaf blower you can get a quick start drying your car before the water spots dry up. Towel off the rest.
I like Adam’s Polishes for my detail products.
Try Adam's H2O Guard & Gloss (can be used with the car still wet) or their CS3 product after you wash your car to prevent hard water spots.

I've tried many times to wipe dry with a spray product, I would have to keep changing towels once streaks start showing from the saturated towel and the streaks dried even faster leaving stains. It's not possible to dry the whole car before any water starts drying up from the heat and I don't want to rush to dry the car.
I didn't want to spend a few hundred dollars on a 700cfm cumbersome blower just for drying.
I was gonna go with the de-ionized water filtration system, but I really don't like the maintenance the filtration system needs.
Then, I was gonna go with a Ryobi 18V EZClean 600 PSI Cordless Power Cleaner, but reviews showed it to be weak, battery life is low, you can't upgrade any parts on it, and the expensive battery is heavy to carry around.
So I've decided to get a Ryobi 1.2gpm that plugs into the wall and is fed distilled water from a pump in a 5 gallon bucket.
This way I can wash in the sun and not worry about water drying on the car ever again.
I just received the Griot's G9 today. I'm still waiting for 5" pads and backing plate to arrive, I could just try out the 6" pads in the mean time. I'll be using Meguiar's Compound and Polish for 2 steps, then wipe down with alcohol, then add spray sealant.
This will be my very first attempt at polishing. I've already got a clay towel and gonna use it after chemical decontamination with iron remover and degreaser around the body. I do need a clay job, the panels feels gritty after a wash.
