Anyone use these? Looks like a good quick way to dry the car to eliminate water spots. Opinions? Suggestions?

I was just going to use microfiber towels like usual....but I'm always looking for a better solution.

I've been using one for at least 13 years or more now. Get a jelly handle one. They work SOO much better than the hard plastic handle on newer cars with more curves. I bought one to use on my Camaro and it works MUCH better than the hard plastic handle one I've been using forever. Just keep it in a clean dry area and wipe the blade off before you use it so it doesn't get any dirt on it and scratch the paint. I water blade the car then go back with a towel to get off any spots I missed. MUCH faster and easier than doing the whole car with a towel.

Thanks for the info.

I too have been using a water blade in along with a microfiber towel for about 4 years now. Works great for me and like GETGONE mentioned as long as you keep the blade free of dirt it and don't use it on a dirty surface it won't scratch your car.

I had one and it works like a charm, cuts drying time in half.

I used the Cali Water Blade initially, and it worked well. Switched to the Jelly blade though, it works even better. Dries the car with one large and one small microfiber. Worth the investment.

Just like a run up to 120MPH. :p

I like mine. I've had it for 14+ yrs. It is the hard plastic handle, but works great and is fast.

Yes, you will love it.

I use the Jelly Blade one and it's awesome. Although now, I use the the mini leaf blower from Chemical Guys haha

I have used one on my latest black vehicle, as well as a couple others for several years and love it. I have the old one but am looking at Griots as they say their's doesn't skip and jump as badly as the Cali one. I guess we'll see.

I agree with everyone. I started using one last year. Cut's my dry time by 70%. I'm using the jelly one.

When my car gets dusty, which in AZ is more than it gets dirty, I can just hose it off, use the jelly blade and finish with a towel. Less than 30 minutes, car looks like new.

To add to this... The good (wood handled) Cali dusters work VERY well for dusty cars. I've mine for over ten years now with great results. Doesn't seem to scratch my dark vehicles.:)
