Tell me your experiences with it.

 

love it, speeds up my drying time considerably. i just go over with a cotton towel on remaining wet areas.

 

Works well with taking all the water off the roof of the car, hood, windshield, and rear window.

 

Works great but just make sure the silicon blade is clean before using. This will prevent anything from happening to the paint. The California duster is another very helpful product to use for the interior. Quick dusting with the small brush.

 

Works great on the larger flat areas of the doors and fenders, too. It doesn't dry the entire car, though. I still need to use a cloth to finish up.

 

Love it, I have now added an Absorber to my drying routine. Just have to wait for the weather to get a little better to try it. Hopefully I won't have any extra water left.

 

I use to think it was great, It dosent do as good of a job as an absorber and micro fiber towels. I rarley use it anymore

 

well, for one it isn't designed to absorb liquid, just merely slides it off the car. but i do go over wet parts i can't get with the blade with a towel

 

I like it. Use it all over the car and use a towel or absorber on remaining wet areas.

 

I can't say it's a must have. I use it once in awhile, but it's frustrating on car with so many curves. It misses many spots that I end up hitting with an absorber. Plus, the big plastic handle can bang up your paint if you accidently drop it!

 

love it. use it then a towel to dry it completly

 

I use it once in a while, but usually just use a leaf blower to get the entire car dried quick (and less chance of scratching the paint since nothing is actually touching the car).

 

A leaf blower? LOL! I never thought about that. That sounds ghetto but might actually work well.

 

I use it to dry off the windows after it rains so I wont have water marks when they dry.

Im scared to use it on the body to dry off rain water though since I dont want it scratch the paint by rubbing leaves, dirt, ect across with it. windows are fine.

 

Leaf blowers work surprisingly well to tell u the truth. I used to use a leaf blower all the time before i got an absorber and water blade so now I just normally use those. My neighbors musta thought i was a little weird when i used to use the leaf blower lol.

The leaf blower is a lil ghetto- but it does work great. I get the looks from neighbors that walk by and see me in the backyard blow-drying my car. But i don't mind the looks or the ghetto-fab way- I just love that there are no watermarks. The great thing about it is that it gets all the water thats "hiding"- like behind the side mirrors and behind the trim on the doors (surprisingly holds a ton of water). So I don't get any of those runs on the bottom of the door or the splatter effect from the mirror .

 

How much was the Cal. water blade and where can I get it? Target? Not over the internet.

 

I got mine at pep boys for 20 bucks. I would think Target would carry it, you should be able to get it at any auto parts place that has alot of accessory stuff or a place like walmart.

I've had one for years and love it. You can get one at AutoZone for $20.

 

Yep, got mine at autozone too, for $20.

 

costco, not shure if its still there

 

I want to use a leaf blower but I'm afraid of the dust it would stir up while doing it. Won't it just be throwing bits of dust at the paint at high speed?

CM.

 

I remember reading somewhere as long as u use an electric leaf blower u should be fine. If I remember correctly there was something about the gas ones, which I cant remember what everyone was saying, but they dont recommend using gas powered ones.




-Steve

 

never used the blade, although I considered it at one point....now I just use absorbers....

 

maybe the gas powered ones emit some fumes that get on the paint or maybe the exhaust is ahrmful to the paint also
