California water blade / car duster

Can anyone recommend these?

got one at work, afraid to use it on my own car… im still scared that it might catch a rock, and scrape the hell out of my paint… i’ll try it on a customers car, or a shop car first… then i’ll let u know…

Car duster works good, just dont have rocks on the top of the car :wink: or press hard. No experence with the waterblade tho.

I use a water blade to dry my car off after washes…well, to get the big pannels, then i use a towel for the rest. I’ve been using it for 2 years…no problems.

If you just washed your car there shouldn’t be any rocks on the paint.

i use the blade to do most of the drying of my car, works very well.
as for the duster, my dad has one, it works very good in the spring when you have that annoying pollen dust on your car

i recomend both, very good products

On your car…sure. That burgundy isn’t too dark. Now if you had a black car, I’d say ‘have fun waxing out the streaks’.

I’ve read that the duster works better the dirtier it gets. Sounds like the whole K&N filter thing.

Does it say how to clean it?

Thanks for all the responses guys :up:

I use the water blade every day at the BMW dealership I work at. As long as you don’t press hard then you won’t leave any marks on the paint (rubber marks, sorta like when you drag your shoes on a linoleum floor). Don’t try to completely dry the car with it, just wipe off the majority of the water and dry the rest off with a chamois or a terry cloth towel.

I don’t really like using them on black cars (avoid minor surface scratches), but any other color they’re good on. They won’t do any harm to the paint, but I’m a detailer and any scratch you can avoid is worthwhile.

The dusters work pretty nice, but I’d rather just use a spray wax and a microfiber towel.

Couldn’t have said it any better. I use this on my show truck and my integra (that have brand new paint). And on other vehicles i detail on the side. Works awesome. I personally wouldn’t use the duster once it gets a certain dirty. Doesn’t make since to me that the more crap on it, the better it works. It seems like the more crap on it, the more crap it’s dragging across your paint as it picks up more crap. I keep a brand new one in my truck all the time, once it gets dirty, it gets replaced. Cheap investment.

Water blade + chamois = :rockon:

Thought you were the guru of “know hows” of our cars.

Just kidding man! :smiley:
