I used the blade thingy on my car...It helped A LOT...granted i still went over it with a microfiber towel and all...but it made the drying process go SOOOOOOOOO much faster...a lot better looking too i think...

i took the blade back today... i just didn't like hearing the squicking sound while using it.... just didn't sound good for the car.... i'm gonna try the water hose technique to run off the excess water and my chamois....

I too used the water technique...for a while....untill I got my water bill. I was using twice as much water to wash the car than usual.
I switched to the blade because they usually start water rationing in the summer and will DOUBLE you water bill if you use more than a percentage over your average winter water usage.

I keep the blade in my car to take care of after the rain when the 8 is outside. Otherwise, I use the flowing water technique and there really isn't enough water left on the car to use the blade.

I'm gonna have to agree with the majority of people on this one...the blade is great, and I've never had any problems with scratching!
It speeds up the process of drying, which is excellent for warmer climates where the water evaporates before you even have a chance to get it off of there. Additionally, it leaves the glass much closer to spot free than they otherwise would be.
