Buy a chamois.
It is probably hard water at the car wash.

try the "absorber" its a synthetic foam type fabric. it's great for drying and very soft, autozone or walmart has them, about 8$. after you use it just wring it out and put it back into the plastic tube, don't let it dry out.
you can also put some distilled water in a spray bottle and mist the truck (after washing it and getting most of the water off) and then dry it off.
