Ive got the original california water blade and it works awesome not streaks or scratches at all and it definately cuts down on the drying time.

Leafblower > Water Blade

 

When storing stuff in your bedroom cuz you live in an apartment...

Water Blade > Leaf Blower

 

Or if you live on a military base and don't have a place to plug a blower into

 

Gas powered Blower



Or jsut have someone fly a helicoptor over top your car.

 

i use a leafblower myself.. takes about 10 mins to dry the car but there is nothing that does the job better! , the car looks better after drying it with a leafblower then wen i was using the absorber..i was gona try the blade but no need to now

 

Rinse with no nozzle to reduce spots and then use the blade. They work great, don't scratch if the car is clean, and you only need a small towell to get into the nooks and crannies that the blade can't get into. I love mine.

 

been using the blade for about 4 years now, and my bro used it on his 73 Mach 1 stang..if we were at the car wash together it only took about an hour to wash and dry the car with the blade for both cars..but if I wasnt there it took him another 40 min or so to dry the car...think about the hood on a 73 Mustang..LOOONG..and on both cars it makes it real fast drying, just get the absorber to finish up and then the dry towel to get anything hard to reach or get real clean..

 

lol... you guys are serious about the leafblower...

Im gonna have to try that

 

I tried the leaf blower, but it took way longer than just soft rinsing and using my sponge cloth. A soft rinse takes about a minute and then I spend maybe another 5 minutes with the sponge . . . car dry. I tried the leafblower but gave up after several minutes . . . it just moved the water around, took forever to actually blow it off.

 

I really like my waterblade.

My wife uses it to clean windows too.

I've had people that live around me say "Are you using a squeegee on you Camaro?"

 

fired up the leaf-blower to attempt it today, but when I saw the engine exhausts through the blower I decided it was a bad idea... dont want my car to smell like 2-stroke exhaust for weeks even though thats a good smell

 

aside from the claims of some waterblades, if used too vigorously, they will streak up virgin clearcoated paint! Not to worry the streak will go away (polish away), but use caution with those blades!!!!

 

man the leafblower is easy.. i have an electric one.. takes about 10-15 mins to dry ..''pushes water around'' what u think the blade does?:P.. just start from the top and blow it all off.. not very hard

 

I have been using the California Water blade for at least 3 years now and would NEVER go back to using Chamois again!

Once you finish shining the car, remove the nozzle and let the water drizzle out. This will cause the water to sheet off the car. Any left will be EASILY removed with the water blade. Note: Don't use the blade if your next door neighbor is sleeping or cranky cause the blade (least on my car) is LOUD!! It SCREECHES.. :-)

I can practically do the entire surface of the paint without needing to use any towels. You can easily bend the silicone blade to the contours of the car.
