california "water blade"

[PA DETAILER]

finally got to use one. my opinion was i liked it. i know you have to watch so nothing gets caught in the blade and scratches your surface. it removed 80% of the water. the rest is finished with a drying towel. cut down on drying time, which is a good thing.

Make sure you use that thing with plenty of water on the surface. Also, make sure you've done a perfect wash job! If you miss a spot (some dirt on surface) and that blade slides over that spot... instant swirls/scratches.

Good luck with it.

Squeegee's blade is made of rubber, which can harden and scratch - not recommended :jump CWB is made of medical grade silicone

The CWB is much better than a squeegie. If your car is properly waxed then there isn't really a need for one anyway. Just run a slow stream of water over the car and most of it will slough right off.
