I think you'll be pretty safe with the AutoGlym ones, as long as you don't have particularly fragile paintwork. I want to get one of these too :)

I used one, a squeegie .. and it scratched lines down my bonnet :(

Now I microfibre dry only.

[Caz SR]

Yeah I use microfibre at the moment - can't use chamois. The ones from tescos in Reading (car care range) are cheap and excellent.

If you're not sure, perhaps lay a chamois/microfibre flat and wrap around the squeegy blade. The reason why I want one is the flat spots on the '2 are a pain in the arris to dry in time, so need something to get the water off quick.

thanks for the replys! btw whats microfibre?

[Bibbs]

thanks for the replys! btw whats microfibre?

It's an artificial cloth .. absorbs water well. the 21st centurys version of a chamois.

[hoho15]

oooo i might have 2 try that!

[Al J]

And they're a lot cheaper than a real chamois leather.

[Caz SR]

I can't use Chamois, it hurts my hands :(

[hoho15]

hello

try a windscreen wiper blade works great for me

[Karma Supra]

The drying of blades work very well as a "preliminary take off", to be finished off with a micro fibre or chamios....

They shouldn't scratch the paint if they are well looked after, properly stored and KEPT CLEAN (Any grit WILL scratch)

[rpaterson]

The drying-blade things are really good for getting most of the water off quickly off of flat surfaces. I still stuff a chamois into any shut lines etc to get rid of water that hides until you're buffing the polish off.
