Am I the only one that finds this frustrating

Every time I wash the car it's very frustrating to see these water drops on the black trim on 4 different spots. I carry a damp towel and wipe the black trim pieces after taking it out the car after a wash. Very annoying lol anyone found a solution to this?

Use a leaf blower to blow out the trim, side mirrors or generally any other spots where water can pool. Helps eliminate the frustrating water drips that happen after you've already dried the car!

Yeah a leaf blower is your best bet. The car holds a lot of water in the gaps until you drive it

Youre best off getting the trim paint corrected and PPFd. That way you dont have to worry about it getting scratched. And I use either a Big Boi Blower, or an Ego Blower.

Yes, I got the car ppf right after taking delivery, specifically wanted all the black pieces ppf because I knew how easily scratched up they can get.
I use a blower but I guess I need to do a better job at blowing spots where water seeps in lol
