Default California Water Blade first use...

It's nice to finally use a product that lives up to it's hype. I was pretty amazed at what a great job this thing did. I usually use half a dozen towels drying the car, after the blade, I used one small one to finish up. The windows finally came out spotless. If you were thinking about getting one of these, do it. You won't be dissapointed with the results.

I use this alot and really love it. Remember to wipe it with a towel either every swipe or every couple to avoid a peice of dirt getting caught and scratching :)

As George said be careful when using the water blade over the seams of the car, I know many people that have scratched their cars that way

I love mine. I have for years.

But, I am now in love with my leave blower.... 190 MPH wind blows ever hiding drop of water off the car. I can dry the car in 60 seconds, BONE DRY.

I carry one in the car when we travel and use it whenever possible. After the "acid rain" in Texas last year, I will never be unprepared again! BTW, I was using Zaino then and it did NOT help protect me at all. :smash: :)

The least amount of contact with the paint the better. Leaf blower is the way to go.. Toro super vac is what I have 215mph.

The Water Blade gets my vote for the best car care product over the last ten years. It really comes in handy on my wife's new 2003 Explorer Sport. ¥es, Ford makes a special 4-Door Sport now. It is an upscale XLT with 17" mag wheels/tires and specail accents.



Yes, I Zainoed the Explorer on day one and it looks great for a red car. I am boring as my cars have been and always will be black.
