    Chamois, leaf blower then chamois again where needed.

    I use the blow drier at the local carwash.
    It solves that problem.

    ive tried blowing it down with my compresser and my blower but thats doesnt really work either, looks ok in the garage but as soon as i get it in the sunlight i can see all the stains .. its the tap water thats doing it  so im wondering if some sort of filtration would work .

    Wello, as strange as it sounds, I use the denim paint cleaner from the breakout on the sporty! Works a treat! Just doesn't come up that well on the bars and headlight surround which have been powder coated, so a little kitten polish on them and they are gloss black again!
