I typically use the Metro about 70% of the time using the Bunky Method.

I, too, would use the Bunky method if I knew what it was.
I use DI water (CR Spotless) as a final rinse and let it air dry while I clean stuff up. Then I use a Master Blaster and hit spots here and there with a Microfiber Madness Dry Me Crazy or Wave Rider Jr.
IMHO the DI water is priceless. Until you use it, you don`t realize what a difference it makes. The car really does air dry streak and spot free almost perfect. When your using DI water, the sun is your friend. Wet panels can bake dry in the sun.
I start by sheeting the water off the vehicle(take of nozzle and let the water sheet off) I then use a leaf blower to remove excess water especially around doors, handles, emblems, lights, grill etc. I then use a synthetic shamois and a Microsoft towel on the windows. My $0.02
I use a leaf blower dedicated to this job only with an Air Wand attachment.

Blow dry with a modified leaf blower and blot with a WW MF.
O.K....Bunky, Fess Up! That`s not nice to leave everybody hangin`.
My ultimate, ever-consuming issue, is how to eliminate water spots, in a looow humidity clime. Even though I designed a soft-water connection for one hose bib directly outside the garage, water spots continue. Softened water (coming from the main house system) is pretty easy to eliminate, but still creates another step when routinely washing Car.
Swanicyouth...spraying with DI water DOES help. Certainly quickly removes even the "other-salts" left within softened water. Indeed works.
There is no way, you would use a "Master Blaster" (or similar) device in a desert climate. Kinda like putting your car through a sand blaster?
If you live in a hard water area,...any chance locating products designed with a lower pH? I can add a small amount plain ol` vinegar to a bucket of "suds" to lower pH, but that doesn`t help much, for rinsing, and drying, in a desert clime.
Water spots. Ugh.
i have heard microfiber madness "dry me crazy" is quite the towel.

I love using the Absorber. I keep a MaxCold water cooler with hot water on my detail trailer. After I dry a vehicle with it, I throw it into the hot water to let it soak and release any dirt or grime and ready for the next dry.
Dry Me Crazy towels for me. Best drying towel I`ve ever used.
Gas powered blower dabbing with MF towels for the remaining dots.
After washing I pull the cars into the garage out of the sun. I mist the entire vehicle minus the wheels with PBQD+ and than proceed to dry using waffle weave towels. On both the Venza and Acadia it takes me roughly two towels each. I than follow up with an air hose to blow water out of all the crevices and lug nut holes on the wheels. I than go around and dry any remaining water from blowing with non WW microfiber towels and than proceed to dry the wheels with the non waffle eave towels too. Before buying a compressor I used a leaf blower but I got tired of the noise and strange looks from neighbors.
Before I got my cr spotless
I was using dry me crazy and wollie mammoth
