Because I use a leaf blower and a waffle microfiber. A lot safer IMO.

i use a leaf blower too, but first get all the pools of water off the glass, roof, hood, than blow the water top down to the bottom of the car, than get a microfiber to dry, cotton towel for door jams, inside trunk lid, etc etc
the blade just makes things go so much faster.

there was a video where the water blade was tested. Not so good results.

Re: water blade??
I have always been afraid of using them. Even though its rubber and the car is clean... I dont know. Just something about it. Maybe I would spray some QD in front of the blade and that would make it not grab as much.
Using it on things like glass is a must because those water spot fast, so getting the water off is awesome. plus you dont have to drag a big wet towel all of the place, because its mostly dry you can just use a normal 16x16 with some QD.
Hmm, maybe ill give it a shot. What one do you recommend.

Leaf blower and a 16X16 drying towel is all I need.

Re: water blade??
its super soft rubber, i dont apply any pressure with use. I just dont see how it could effect the paint finish, even on something you just buffed.
it glides over any paint, glass, trim, etc etc

But when a piece of dirt or any particle gets trapped and swept along the paint, you'll be asking why you are straight line scratches.
Give it a new home in the garbage and get a Guzzler HD!

Re: water blade??
well i wipe it clean after every pass, so i dont have that issue. and if you have dirt or anything left after a good wash n dry you didnt do your job.......
a lot of cars i do, the people, dont want perfect, they want wash, wax, interior, engine bay, etc etc and only want to pay so much. So corners are cut, time is not on your side.
these arent show cars or corvettes or anything special. More minivans, family sedans and the owners do not ever clean their own car. or even rinse it off when theres bird sh!t on it.
