A vehicle rinsing assembly (102) includes at least one blower unit (104) having a housing (108) with an air inlet (110) and an air outlet (112). The air inlet is in communication with a motor unit (114) to draw air into the housing. The rinsing assembly also includes a fluid nozzle (146) disposed on the blower unit and in communication with a fluid source to direct fluid onto the vehicle exterior. The rinsing assembly includes an actuator (132) in communication with the at least one blower unit to direct air emitted from the air outlet in different preselected directions with respect to the vehicle exterior. The rinsing assembly is in communication with a controller such that air from the air outlet and fluid from the fluid nozzle are emitted simultaneously onto the vehicle exterior surface to remove excess water therefrom, The controller is also in communication with the actuator to vary the direction of air flow in response to a location of the vehicle with respect to the at least one blower unit.
