I've used may products from this company, with GREAT success-- and to the company: You ROCK... BUT:


http://www.classic-accessories.com/calwatblad.html
California Blade Wiper...SUCKs. Don't waste $20
bucks on this thing..it blows.

Just a warning,
Aaron

p.s. The Saphire lights are cool also, I do recommend this site for quality, and product delivery.

In my tests,
Compared to a reasonably new shammy-- it left streaks and was not able to get many places. Further, it required me to follow behind with a shammy... so why waste the money?

Perhaps I used it wrong?

Wow, I used one once before and I actually bought one today for 12 dollars at Costco...I thought it was great! It doesn't DRY the car, but it gets enough water off so that it's easily dried with the Absorber or whatever chamois that you use. I really liked it when I used it before...

Maybe you expected something different/more from it?

hmmm

Yeah.. I thought I could use it inplace of a shammy... I mean, why use it at all if u need to use a shammy?? One or two ring-outs of a shammy and may car is dry... I just didn't see the need for it. I guess I was expecting more.

I still would have rather just bought a good shammy.
