Thoughts on using waterblades

[MAXBKS]

Wondering what all of your thoughts are of using water blades to take off
excess water before using your towel. Is it too much touching of the paint.

Windows and moon roofs only.

after a wash and before drying, flood rinse the car (from top to bottom) with just the hose and that will eliminate the majority of the water to dry off. if you haven't tried the PFM drying towel, i highly encourage to try one out. you can even pick one up in the outlet store for only $15.50! and save even more when there are sales going on. forced air is another option (leaf blower, etc.) as well...

Definitely PFM towel. Save the blade for your shower door

[MAXBKS]

My order that came today included two of those PFM towels from the outlet store along with the blade.
Guess I'll save the blade for windows and such.

Visitor I am one step ahead of you. Lol
Looking forward to trying them, read so much about how good they are.

Thanks for responding guys, I appreciate it.

I will leave marring weather you can see it or not. I saw it clearly on my black paint a few years ago after using it for a while thinking it wasn't causing marring. I caught it in the perfect lighting and saw it clearly.

I use them on windows and glass only. I do use them on customer cars once I'm done thoroughly washing and decontaminating the vehicle. By then I know the car is perfectly clean and any marks are going to come out with the polishing work I'm about to do on them anyway so it doesn't matter.

On my cars or vehicles that are already corrected, absolutely not.

Hmm, I use my on my windows including moonroofs to get the standing water off the top. There’s been plenty of times I’ve continued on and did the rest of the roof out of laziness too. Hopefully didn’t mar it or degrade LSP too badly during these instances.

I see nothing wrong with using a water blade on glass and THAT'S IT.......

The water blade does make cleaning house windows easier.

[MAXBKS]

I should of asked this question BEFORE I ordered it. Haha. Yep that's me.
Sounded like a good plan at first but after I ordered, it seems like everything
I read talked about how you touch the paint and got me thinking.

Oh well, windows it is.
Maybe I did better on my selections of towels. :)

You certainly won't regret your purchase of PFM's.
Like others, I use my waterblade for glass to save both time and towels.

As Allen posted, just get a few Griot's PFM's.

I hated the drying process so much, that I would actually skip washing my truck on a few occasions because it was such a pain in the a$$.

Now that I have the PFM towels, that is no longer a concern.

The PFM towels are a huge game changer. And if anyone reading this is on the fence about them for any reason, please reconsider.

They are well worth the price.

Probably the best detailing product of the last year or two!
