Good tool, but be careful. There's a good chance you'll scratch your paint up, especially if it's not clean.

I detail at a large dealership, and i've seen my share of water blade scratches.

They're meant to be used after you've washed your car. (or if your car is clean).

They wipe away something like 85% of water? They work wonders!
