Does anyone have any tips or brilliant idea to clean and dry the front grille relatively quick?

It's great to look at but a nightmare to clean/dry without water spots. Ill be coating the car next weekend and I'm not even sure I'll touch the grille with coating due to its design.

After owning both a 23 and a 25, I have to say the grill on the 25 is the worst part. I need to get a leaf blower :ROFLMAO:

I bought a battery powered DeWalt leaf blower specifically for drying cars. It beats the hell out of any other method.

I just use my regular detail spray and wipe it down, never had a problem with streaks. When I do a full foam cannon and spray down with water, I use my leaf blower to blow off most of the water, then my detail towels to get any that’s left.
