Annoying constant drip from the front of hood after a wash

[antonini311]

Anyone else constantly deal with an annoying drip from the front of the hood (the gap between hood and body). The soap and water just seems to collect on the lip just inside the hood. I swear i will power wash it away like 10 times and it just keeps slow-dripping. Anyway...just an observation.

Dry with a leaf blower after washing.

My bat sh$t crazy method involves driving as fast as I can right after i hand wash for a few blocks (driving, not hand washing for a few blocks)... then using a leaf blower... every seam, joint, door sill, trunk/hood surface...then virgin MF towels (made by virgins). Then I lay nekked on the hood singing Warrant’s “she’s my cherry pie”.

My side mirrors hold water and drip down my doors long after I've dried my car.

Will the nekked cherry pie trick help with this too?

Blowing the mirrors should work (leaf blower you perv).

CP only works after.

I've just started releasing the hood latch on final rinse. It helps it drain fully, then I can dry the inside lip with a microfiber.
