You don't know brand new until you see Ray's comprehensive list of car care practice. It's why his car has such a deep gloss, it positively looks chromed instead of just "clean black".
I'd say that's damn [censored]'n good for a car pushing 7 years old. I wouldn't call it an obsession, but his attention to detail is why his car looks like it rolled off the assembly line as opposed to simply looking clean after the usual 6 month wax checkup.
If you want to dry your car with a leaf blower, that's fine. In my case, I just drive the car up and down the block and then dry off what's left if I'm in a rush. And I don't ever plan to be in a rush when I'm washing and waxing my car. The last time I waxed my car (last week or so), the process started Friday morning and finished Saturday afternoon. I'm still not fully satisfied since I only got two coats in and noticed swirlmarks under the lights later that night.
Personally, though, I don't see what the problem is here. Everybody has their own way of making sure things are clean. If they bother, that is.
