yea the honey comb grill is a little tough but just take your time to dry it and it will come out great or you can drive around to air it out...i never had a problem with the front bumper drying

I just use a cloth and stick it in each part of the grill and it comes out nice.

most annoying part of it is getting washed in an auto wash and then when you try to dry most of it off. it freezes cause all the cold weather here. which sucks balls

ahh! dont ever use an auto wash! if you can't use your hose coz its too cold at least go to a do it yourself powerwash place, but don't put your car through one of those tunnels of hell

i use a blower or a hair drying to dry off the front grill, works lk a charm 
The best thing would be to use one of the WASH BAYS, that are usually right next to those drive thru car washes. and when you go to rinse off, USE the SPOTLESS RINSE, which is just distilled/filtered water that doesn't carry all the minerals that leave spots, but be sure to REALLY SPEND TIME RINSING the CAR GOOD!!! I do this everytimg and just let the car dry on its own, and I NEVER GET WATER SPOTS.

you risk denting, having your mirrors ripped off, the front grille could get fucked up nicely...
for 5 bucks you could go into a self service bay and use the power wash. yea youd freeze your arse off for a few minutes, but in my opinion its worth it to protect such a fine auto
^^well sometimes if you DON'T go with the TOUCHLESS washes, debris can get caught in the huge cloth/or whatever they are made of things, and acutally leave scratches all over your car.
If the drivethru is touchless, it should be ok...since it will only pressure wash your car and nothing touches the surface.

the time it takes to pull it threw the wash.
and high pressure wash.
i could be toasty in my heated seats with the heat up all the way.
or have icicles hanging off every part of my body. and have it melt in the car.
when the weather gets better ill do pressure/hose wash.
but for now ill take the chance to go threw the tunnell of hell.
