Has anybody used this?

[Krozi]

I use it it's awesome. Just a few swipes with the blade and 90% of the water is gone. The finish the rest with a towel any youv'e got a dry car

[flipnf3rno]

Yeah, they work pretty well. I used to have one and gave it to my dad. I bought the one from Griots Garage and it works well too. Its like the California Blade except it has a foam like blade instead of plastic. It's what I use for my car now along with some microfiber towels.

I have one, and my recommendation is to not use it on the paint of your car. It will no doubt put some pretty big scratches in it... It works great for drying other things though like showers.

As long as you insure the blade is free of debris you should be fine.

Yup ... use it always when I wash. Cuts drying time by 80%.

No problem using it for the entire car ... even Jet Black. Just ask Krozi.

Well it can pick up debris while you're swiping so even if you're very careful, it's just not worth it. Unless you don't care about scratching your car (like 90% of car owners who just put their car through a car wash).

If it's a gas blower it can leave a film on the paint which is a big problem if you're planning to polish it. If it's electric, go ahead!

I think you would do way more damage with a rag (swirls and all that). I would say only use the blade if your car was previously clayed and waxed.

Awesome, yeah compressors are the best. now you can throw out the water blade haha.

But if you don't have a compressor the best way is an electric leaf blower and a waffle weave microfiber towel. It won't scratch the finish, especially if you blot it dry without rubbing.

This is what I have:

It has tons of uses (drying carpets and floor mats, dusting after polishing, sweeping your garage, etc.) It dries cars really quickly and you don't need to use a towel after.
