Re: Thoughts on using waterblades
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.

Re: Thoughts on using waterblades
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.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

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

Re: Thoughts on using waterblades
Tried the water blade today on the windows of my pickup and it doesn't work
worth a damn even on glass.. Made one hell of a squeal sound and left lots of water behind.
Griots PFM 20"x28" drying towels on the other hand worked great. Real nice towels.
Get another 25% off of the outlet price and that is a deal hard to beat.

Re: Thoughts on using waterblades
Just coated PBL Glass Coating on my windows on 2 cars, Pinnacle Glass Sealant on the others. Why is it OK to use the water blades on windows but not paint?
I understand people see marring on paint but are windows hard enough to not mar from these?
If marring on glass isn’t a risky situation, my concern is that these could degrade my coating much faster than drying with a towel, but is that really a concern with these (hence, why people don’t use them on paint), or is the marring the only fear with using water blades?
My own experience? I’ve used water blades during warm weather after bucket washes, but not in the winter after rinseless, so I’ve never noticed degrading of window coatings which I always apply in fall and they become an after thought by the following summer.

Re: Thoughts on using waterblades
I always thought the friction from blades risk marring the paint as well as degrading the LSP—especially in the days before coatings, so I steered clear of them once I found this out. These days I only use a water blade on my shower door. It does keep water spotting at bay.

I’m potentially throwing mine out then. I doubt I’ll use it around the house, I have shower curtains, no glass. Home windows are mostly protected by roof overhang. I’m done wondering what these things are doing to my glass LSPs
