  • California WaterBlade...

    Is this okay to use? Anybody use it? I do have the megs absorber towels, but was wondering about the California WaterBlade.

    Make sure the paint is absolutely as clean as humanly possible, it only takes one speck of dirt or grit to turn your car in to scratch city. And don't use it if the vehicle isn't really really wet. Safer to just stick with the towels and steer clear of the blade. Hope this helps.
    If a man talks in a forest, and there is no woman there to hear him, .... is he still wrong?

      They scare me. Think about the damage one speck of evil could do while swiping your car dry.

      I'd stick with the towels. I highly recommend the Water Magnet.

          I think this tool is always going to be a personal preference type decision, that is you really won't know if it works for you until you try one on the car you wash and dry all the time.

          I also think it will perform better on cars with large flat panels, like a 06 Corvette for example, versus cars with lots of design to their panels, for example our Honda Pilot.

          I purchased one of these thinking it would help me to dry the Honda Pilot but for whatever the reason, I found it just didn't work well for me on the Pilot body design. I like it on the 1973 Blazer however but with the Blazer I keep it waxed up enough I don't need to use it on the sides as the water pretty much flows off, the hood however is large and flat and water tends to want to sit on it, with a few quick wipes of the blade it's 95% water free and I can get the rest with Meguiar's Water Magnet Drying Towel.
