I have heard you should avoid it.. The sound it makes alone as you drag it accrss the paint would stop me fomr buying it. Search and you will see most dislike it.

The CWB is a product you will either hate or love...there is no middle ground really.
You can buy one at the autopia shop for about $8. I have one and use it with great success, but whether or not it is for you is up to you to decide..

I have thought about this, my neighbor has one and uses it with great sucess. However, I have always been afraid, any grit or anything on your paint will be drug along your paints surface:( I guess thats the same with anything, but this just makes me a little more nervous:confused: :nixweiss

You can buy the product at Target for about $10.
(there was a passionate debate of this product within the past 10 days, IIRC. You either luv it or you hate it - - - there`s no middle ground)

Works for me. If you are scratching your surface with the CWB, you have not thoroughly washed or rinsed your car. Also make sure that you rinse your blade prior to use.

A few older, very experienced members used the CWB the last time I checked, which was a factor in my decision to use it as well. As long as you are careful and methodical about using it, it is relatively safe to use IMHO.

I recommend that you make your decision on your experience or what you observe, not what you`ve "heard". Also, I think it would be better to decide based on "the result it produces", rather than "the sound it makes". Although many may dislike it, many find it to be a useful tool (like me); I wonder if "most dislike it", or actually "most like it"; maybe a good opportunity for a poll! According to the posts I`ve seen, the statement that "most dislike it" is not accurate.

OK, yea it`s sounds horrible... so what?
As long as you keep the blade clean throughout drying, you will NOT run into any problems.
I always have fresh water running to rinse the blade on several passes. Once "bladed" I follow with a WW towel.
Have not damaged my finish yet!
If your so scared, just use a WW towel.
CWB works for me!
