I use the California blade as well...Towel dry to get the rest. When waxed, leaves a nice, gleaming, show car look

 

ok so my final judgement after all the advice is: 1. don't be lazy, washing the car by hand can be theraputic, 2. California waterblade, 3. microfiber towel, 4. wax (megu, or zano) 5. show car look, 6. pass out after huge ordeal.....i'm kidding its just a car wash.



and no auto dry

 

basically that is it! except for #6 then is be go show off your baby!
i don't think i will ever use that stuff...nothing like really cleaning your car plus what about all the bugs and other road crap that gets on the car, might as well just do it your self. the squeege works really good actually or i perfer to just hop on the road for a sec and 90 mph dries it off pretty good. washed my baby 2 times so far this month almost time to wax her!

 

Tried it out.. (for 15 bucks.. it's worth a shot)...

Good:
It leaves less residue/spots on your car.. worked great on my wifes black truck, which being a large vehicle it's very hard to towl dry it off without waterspots.. but we had none when we were done with it


Bad:
The filtered rinse needs more pressure to really get all the soap and hard water off your car.

You'll still have to dry it a bit if you didn't rise really well with the filtered water. (which with the pressure is near impossible)

Conclusion:
It's really only worth it for the filtered rinsing capabilities. It's not totally 100% no dry (more like 80%), but it is a nice addition to your existing cleaing tools.

Note: Regarding the california water blade.. havn't used it.. but will probably check that out..

 

The Mr. Clean soap that comes with the kit is awesome. It definitely makes the car look much cleaner than the Meguiars soap I use.

 

I got the kit and I like it so far. I soap it up, hand wash it, normal rinse, spot free rinse, leaf blower it dry. Works pretty good this way IMO. I initally got it to wash my bike. Washing and drying that thing took no time at all!

 

whatever happend to hand drying....my family always uses a rag..works fine...i supossed u can just cruise on the highway at 120 to dry it...that wont leave spots

 

I've tried the auto dry before on my old car... it was'nt as good as i've hoped, but it's better than nothing... good enoough for pictures. haha.
