Jelly Blade

And thats fine, and to each his own.I was just pointing out that when a body panel is properly washed and rinsed, at that point, there is no longer grit on that panel. And if the drying material (whatever it may be) is also cared for properly and has no grit on it, then there effectively is...no grit present. So a jelly blade in a no grit situation...does NOT...scratch a finish. Simple logic.

That is exactly where we have one! We have a built in shower with cultured marble walls and a front of plexiglass - it works wonders! :D

I would laugh, but I am in the process of the same. It's just that the PC is kind of noisy and my prime time to do that stuff is at night when everyone else is sleeping. :pc7424:

I don't use a Jelly Blade, but rather a gas station style squeegee for my windows just to get almost all the water off them with 2 swipes. I then follow up with a microfiber to clean any remaining water to avoid spotting. I would imagine using a jelly blade would be great for doing this, but I am not sure if the extra flexibility of the blade to better fit curved windows contour is worth purchasing. Any thoughts?
 
Check this video out. A guy using it on a Ferrari.

mine didnt glide like that at all. it would leave wet spots then i would go back for them and the thing would chop and jump like crazy. it was at that point that it was no good
 
Notice that those guys were wiping the blade for water and grit after EVERY SINGLE SWIPE on the paint. If you've got that sort of clientele than you must be doing something right, I'd wager. I wash my Cali blade before every time I use it, I find it super helpful to compliment microfibers, so that I can use a single microfiber to do the rest of the drying job when the blade has done what it can. I've seen that it only skips when you are trying to dry an area that has too little water to pull off the finish.
 
After I learned to sheet rinse, there is not enough water left to blade off. The Guzzler is hardly damp after drying the car.

I'll get a photo next time of the hood and trunk areas after rinsing.
 
I agree, if the surface is correctly protected and you can sheet water off than ID go that route.
 
i used to use one also until i found out the damage they cause. im now a huge fan of the guzzlers they work like you wouldnt beleive. im a fan for life.
 
I have never had a problem with CWB scratching. But when I dry off a vehicle with one I always mist the surface with a 50/50 mix of Poorboy's Spray&Wipe and Spray&Gloss and then just a little touch up with a WW towel. I aways wipe the CWB off after each stroke.
