Thanks!!

I went ahead and bought the "California Duster", and "Dash Duster" at Wal-Mart this morning, and I just about purchased the "Water Blade" as well. Any thoughts on this piece?
 
I use it all the time, got two at a great price at COSTCO. Leaves the car streakless....no fabric leftovers...cuts drying time in half and is great when it's cold out.
 
I have the blade, it's great, but a smaller one along with the
big one would be even better...
I just think it's too big for some parts og the car...
It does save you a lot of time & with one swipe it's
really dry, with out any streaks or water spots....
Worth the money....:)
 
A word of advice on this product, be sure to keep it VERY clean! Rinse it before every use. If there is any debris left on the car or picked up by the blade it will SCRATCH your paint. I have seen this happen. Also if you use a steady stream of water for your final rinse it will cause the water to sheet off making drying easier. Buy the water blade at costco as someone else mentioned, I think they're around $12.
 
Get it, you won't be disapointed. It beats squeezin' out the chamoi 5 extra times just for all the water on the hood and roof.
 
I use a Turtle Wax squeegie which is the same thing, only a little smaller, and half the price. These things work good on flat surfacesm but you still need to go over the cracks and angles with a cloth. I only use micro fiber on my paint (buffing out wax, drying, quick detailer, ect). I suggest everyone try micro fiber, you'll never go back to using terry cloth again.
 
I have it and love it. I basically only use it on the hood, roof and windows. It's worth it just to have for windows if you're afraid of it scratching your paint. I think I put a coulple hair line scratches on my sides from trying to use it there. I think I picked up some dirt from one of the cracks in the doors so I don't use it fo the sides any more. But for windows, you can't beat it. no streaks left whatsoever. and before you use it I find that if I rinse the spot of that I'm going to use it on with water and leave a lot of water on it it works best. sometimes there's not enogh water to lubricate the blad and it chaters and leave water marks like when your windshield wipers do.

I bought the duster as well. Haven't tried it yet but I'm hoping it does a good job and doesn't hurt my paint.
 
I have the turtle wax one to. It was a lot cheaper, so I just went with it. Glad I did.
