Water Blade?

[upnorthLS]

Good day gents! I'm just curious about the california water blade. Do they work well? I'm kinda nervous to try one and always believed dragging anything on the surface will scratch the finish. Any opinions on this would be appreciated.

Been using it for years. Great way to remove most of the water. Makes drying much easier.

Had for a couple months and I love it

Was wondering about this myself, sick of drying all the rides

I have used it for a while also. That plus the absorger makes drying incredibly easy!!
No scratches from it either. Your car should be clean with nothing on it to scratch the paint. I would recommend rinsing the blade off before using it though.

I've been using mine..the same one actually(do they ever wear out?) for about 8 years now. Cant believe no one thought of this sooner.

Works absolutely perfectly. Drying time is now 1/4 of what it used to be.

I use a Wyoming Water Blade... Get the car to about 140mph for a couple of minutes, and it's nice and dry.

^ lol, bad thing is the car tends to get dirty while trying dry it. Around here anyway.

I've had one for about 4 years. Its great to take off the big stuff. And no scratches -- its made of soft silicone. The silicone blade will form to whatever part you are drying (fender, hood, bumper, etc.). Its not going to get your car perfectly dry, so follow up with a good Microfiber drying towel in the nooks and crannies. Well worth the purchase.

Thanx guys, I kinda do the same as the Wyoming technique, only in B.C. If the blades work that good, I think I'll get one. Should cut down on the water spots and speed up the cleaning/detailing activity. I'm waiting for local supplier to get me a clay kit so I can fine tune the finish.

Half the time I dry my car with the blade, then get lazy and just leave the rest to dry on its own.
