If you dont have a leaf blower, you can use a wet dry VAC. I use my wet dry vac, put it on blow instead of suck (whoa that sh** came out wrong). You got the gist of what i was saying.

I like using the wet/dry vacuum since it has a filter on it, most leaf blowers i've seen dont have a fine mesh at all, just guards designed solely to prevent personal injury.
There is plenty of stuff in the air that could be thrown at your car through a leaf blower that could damage the paint.
Just because you can't see it doesnt mean it's not wearing through your clearcoat.

I usually use a waterblade and then a shammy for the missed spots and door jams.

Squeegie is the best every time i have tried to hand dry it it leaves marks and little pieces of fiber from the towels.

Turtle Wax wax as you dry and about 4 micro fiber cloths gets the whole car done with no water spots and a nice slick finish, windows and all. Not a replacement for paste wax but good preventative maintinence.
