I use a leafblower to get the water out of the nooks and crannies, then I follow up with a Viking waffle weave microfiber towel. Works very well!

I use a synthetic chamois followed up with soft microfiber. Ill also use my 240mph leaf blower if im at home.
I buy new microfiber every so often just for drying. My truck is the only vehicle in my city that isn't littered with fine scratches/swirls.

The leaf blower does a great job.
Just have to wipe the glass and chrome after.

If you guys are using leaf blowers, shop vacs etc always be sure it's not being used for anything else (especially the shop vac method) and be sure it's clean of all debris before firing up!
The best method is indeed forced air and following up with a good quality (and clean) microfiber towel).
Another method is using a spray wax/sealant as a drying aide. This is quite simple (and you are adding protection to your paint/exterior surfaces while you do it). After you wash your vehicle, leave it wet. Spray 1 spray of Optimum Car Wax or Opti-Seal on the paint, wipe that area with a microfiber first and spread evenly across the entire panel. You'll thank me later!

No one mentioned ONR or a certain spray wax/sealants WHILE drying. I like doing this because it's added lubricant when drying. Unless you have ionized water or something there can be minerals in the water (why there is water spots if you don't dry) that you wipe into the paint.
Chemical Guys V7, Duragloss, lots of good stuff to use while drying
