That doesn't make sense to me. If the stains result from dissolved
solids, they'll be there whether the drying is fast or slow. If
they're from dissolving something in the lens which then is left
deposited someplace else, it seems to me it would be best to get the
water out as soon as possible. I don't know what lubricants are used
inside lenses, but they present a concern as their surface tension
will be different from that of the water so they might be displaced
by the water. I assume that there is nothing in the lens that will
rust.

In the future, don't use the oven it dries the water too fast and

I have to agree with Roger. Isn't the fact that the "Pur" filter in the
Mr Clean car washing kit is supposed to get rid of all the minerals and
stuff that spots when you wash the car so you don't have to dry it?
Cars dry at different ambient temps and varied times..
My concern with higher temps would be lubricants and adhesives getting
where they don't belong.......
