this has to be a poor design b/c this can accelerate rust formation. to remedy this somewhat, i'm using an air spray w/ a long fine tip nozzle after i wash the car to blow all the trapped water out. you'd be amazed how much water comes out. | Nice tip...now you're immortal (until the servers crash): http://www.benzworld.org/forums/show...50#post2501050
I'd add that it's better all around to purchase a small air compressor and use one of the tips designed for this kind of purpose. While you could use canned air it's very pricey and bad for the environment. Plus you can use the compressor to keep your tires properly inflated; the money you don't waste on gas will pay for the compressor. 
Take care and enjoy the ride,
