Hey i have the factory spoiler and i get my car washes done at a local car wash. (soon i will start washing it myself) but after the wash, i drive around for a few and water just drips all the time from my spoiler down my back bumper, anyone know if i can put something over this or prevent this from happening in any way?
it just looks bad cuz it leaves streaks

Do you go to an automatic car wash or does someone do it for you? Cuz if someone does it for you they should have an air gun that sprays all the excess water out of the cracks so that doesn't happen. If not, just drive for a few minutes to get it all out and then take a terry cloth and wipe it up while its still wet.

I go to an automatic car wash. I need to go to the store and grab me a reusable towel to stash in my car

I keep one of those absorber towels (which rock) and some shames in the car at all times. After a good wash I just take 10 minutes to dry it.

Absorber FTW! I have the same issue with my spoiler. I just dry the car after washing it and then take it for a spin around the block and dry the rear again.

I try 2 save lives but many have died in my hands...[#] Sep 05, 2008 08:28am Orin
it's water that stays trapped in door seals, specifically the hatch seal. As you drive that water comes out and leaves ugly streaks. Dealerships normally use a leaf blower to blow the water out of the trunk seals before driving out.
You should keep a microfiber drying down or synthetic drying towel aka Absorber.
Do not go to automatic car washes.

don't they have DIY carwashes where you live? it's like 5$ for an automatic car wash here, and $1.25 to go to a DIY. I live in an apt, and wash mine weekly at the place down the street.
