Exactly or even a quick detailer. If your car has a nice coat of wax and the surface is nice and smooth you can just sheet the water off by lowering the water pressure on the hose. Then follow up with a drying aid and I would recommend you invest in a couple waffle weave towels. Much better than a shammy or your typical microfiber.
If you get water spots you will have to either compound or polish depending on how far they have etched.
