Buy him a stack of cheap towels at Wally World and wipe him down thoroughly when you both get in. Keep them in a separate hamper for doing laundry and wash them all together.
You're going to make him very uncomfortable with dried out skin. If you have OCD about cleanliness a GSD dog may not have been the right choice for a new addition to the household.
No one says you can't keep a clean house with a large GSD in the home, but YOU are going to have to work at it that much harder. The dog shouldn't suffer for what he/she can't control.
Wintertime is particularly messy for any sort of house dog, but especially large breeds.
