me too by the way there arent any "fake" CA water blades are there?? I was googling around and some water blades look different than others. The last thing I want to do is buy some cheap imitation that uses a rubber blade

 

The water fall method is after your final rinse of the car,

What you do (As Ubetit said), is remove any attachments from the end of your hose, and then let the water run down your car, starting at the top of the panel, and working your way down the panel as the water runs down. Water's cohesiveness pulls the water to itself, since it's a larger amount of water, and counter acts the adhesiveness of the water to the surface. So basically, the water floods itself, so it can't spread out into little droplets, and get left on your car as you're rinsing it off.

 

interesting.......

someone should make a youtube tutorial!!!

 

 

For once you and I are in total agreement.

It's not really the blade itself that is damaging to the car but rather the dirt/dust that could be on the car's surface which the blade would drag that does the damage. Even if you wipe off the blade after each swipe there's still the possibility that dirt blew onto your car from a gust of wind or that you missed a spot when washing. I just feel there are safer tools/methods to use so why bother?

The scientific explanation involves the fact that water is a covalent molecule and also the principles of surface tension.

However, the short answer is that water likes to stick to other water. So, if you flow a stream of water over the car (notice I did not say spray the water) it will take with it the water already on the car's surface as it runs off. Start at the top and work your way to the bottom and your car (if well waxed/sealed) will be virtually dry when you're done.

 

Waterblade on paint =

I do own one for Windows though

 

be careful while using it, i used it on my old rsx and stratched it like at least 5 times with the plastic handle part, then i finnally wrapped a piece of cloth around the plastic part and now no more stratch

 

I used it for many years, no problems thus far.

 

I've been using mine for years and love it.

 

Blade the car and then use a rolled up (end) of an absorber or chamois the same way you'd use a duster to "dust" off water beads left behind in grooves nooks and crannies. Super fast and easy and maybe the lazy mans solution to a perfect wash and rinse job.
