Default water blade... yay or nay
after a hand car wash...what do you think of using the water blade (assuming good quality one) to dry the car...

-the paint would be clean and so would the water blade...

Default Tried one for a while... I cannot reccomend it, other than windows.
I found it scratched the paint. Not happy with it at all.

Actually while I still have it, I don't use it for windows any more either...

Default Not worth it...
believe it or not, the bigger problem is smacking the paint with that hard plastic handle. It's very easy to do given the design.
