there's a squeegie type thing you can buy to get most of the water off before using towels

I've squeegeed with one of those big water blades and it is fast but unless the car is absolutely clean, you run the risk of dragging along some particle and making fine scratches.

I quickly wipe the blade of the squeegee clean after every stroke and then use a chamois

Water blade -- gets mine dry enough that I can let whatever small amount of water remains air dry without spotting.

I use microfiber for drying the exterior, cleaning windows, and wiping the interior.

Chamois followed by microfiber cloth for a final dry and for smaller details
