Haha, yah, exactly. I`m trying to use the blade outside, and because of the nasty screeching noise, my neighbors give me the "how much do you hate your car?" look.

Just a little alarmed because I`ve never used a squeegee that would make that sort of noise.

I love my waterblade. I use it on my hood, roof, and fiberglass bed cover. Really takes the water off nicely. Doesn`t really work well on the sides of my truck so I just use a towel on them.

It has really sped up the speed that I can dry my truck.

It has but a few scatches on my bed cover but I was able to buff them out pretty quickly. They don`t compare to the scratches on my tailgate. I need to take it in for repainting!

The California Water Blade is just too risky for my blood. Its a novel concept but I`ll just stick to Brad Bs blotch method of drying.

When I dry my car off with a MF, the towel isn`t all ways 100% clean, because sometimes I miss spots. There if I went over those with the CA Blade, I`d probably do more damage than good. So I don`t use it much. I use a squeegee on my windows only.

Did you know that persian rugs have one flaw in them that is put in on purpose. They believe that if they don`t put in the flaw then the rug would be perfect and perfection is impossible.

I look at my car sort of like that. I wouldn`t want it to be perfect because then I wouldn`t have any reason to polish it and make it beautiful. If the waterblade does a little damage to my car then I`m ok with that. It gives me something to buff out.

Probably not a very wise perspecive but it makes me happy.

I love my CWB but I tend to rinse my blade quite a bit because I don`t want to get that one microscopic particle that will scratch Maxine`s paint. I still follow it with a Chamois.

Jngrbrdman, I don`t believe you buddy! You mean to tell me that if you happen to scratch your car up a bit that you`re happy with it because you don`t want near perfection. I can sort of understand what you`re saying though. You enjoy detailing so much that you really don`t mind the occasional work that you might feel that you HAVE to do to work out some flaws in the paint.

I see it this way, I want my car to look as perfect as possible. I can still find some work to do by adding either more Klasse SG or Z-2. I still love to work with SMR, AIO, PPCL, Finesse It 2, etc.. but I love using them on other people`s cars. I`m at the point where I hope and strive to NOT use those products that often any more. At least not on my car. I just want to layer more Z-2 and Klasse SG. I guess I`m a bit too much of a perfectionist and don`t want to take a step back just so that I can take another step forward.

Has anyone ever just used a windshield wiper blade?

Never seen a CWB yet, and I`m not sure how hard or soft it is.

With the wiper blade I`ve never heard it squeak before. I quess the only downfall is that it sometimes leaves some streaks but they come off easy.

The CWB is surgical silicone or something. Much softer than a wiper blade. I wouldn`t want the little metal clips to hit the car from using a wiper.

You got me Don. lol You`re right. I don`t exactly jump up and down when I see scratches or swirls on my car but at least I know I have something to do on the weekend. I don`t go out of my way to damage my car for sure. I haven`t ever noticed any damage from the CWB though but if I did I`d be more than glad to fix it.

I have read about Powerlock alot lately and am dying to try it out. I am apprehensive to buy it since I have BFWD and WGDGPS (Like 20 oz each). But I really want to try it so my proposal is.....

Is anyone willing to trade a sample for a sample?
My offerings:
85rd, SIP, m105, m205, m95, BFWD, WGDGPS, Klasse HGSG

Let me know

Jon

Gets the popcorn ready..:biggrin:

I guess I`m the only one that has heard this?

I`ll keep my sources close to my hand here, but it was from a valued source. Anyhow, does it really matter if they are the same?

Cheers,
