What methods are people using to prevent water marks after washing, is chamois leather the way to go or is microfibre cloth better......or some other way?I spotted a post where even in-line water filters on the hose can be used to purify the water, seems extreme!

I haven't used a chamois for years.
I use a Dooka drying towel.
It's like a magnet to water.

As T-800 said ^^^^

 

But worth spending the extra & getting a getting a Refillable 0ppm Water Filter

I can also highly recommend the Carbon Collective Onyx Drying Towel

Use the flood method on final rinse and use a leaf blower for me. The less contact with the surface the better.
