is it better to dry my tsx wit a chami or wit a water blade? lemme know
thanks

 

i use the water blade to get the majority of the water off then use a microfilber cloth (that I wash after every use) w/ a quick detailer.

 

 

Trying to figure out why you would have so much water on the car to need a blade!? If you have a good coat of wax, when you do the final rinse, you should have like little to no water on the car...mine is that way anyways.

 

Just open her up on the freeway and let the wind do the work.

Actually I have a waterblade but I mostly use a chami.

 

the waterblade isn't needed. When you're done rinsing the car take off any nozzel you have on the hose and turn the water down to a trickle. You should be able to rince the car off and 90% of the water should sheet off.

 

Rinse like Tony said and you'll be amazed at the small amount of water left to dry, much less than spraying it with a pressure nozzle. Then pick up a couple of good quality waffle weave microfiber towels to dry the rest with.

 

I just happened to be washing my car today so I took a couple of pics. They're on the window because it's easier to tell.

This is after the first rinse with the pressure nozzle.

pressure nozzle


Then this is after I took the pressure nozzle off and rinsed with a trickle of water. Still flowing well but no pressure to it.
barely anything left
same window NO towel

 

I use a slightly differnet approach... I always keep the entire car wet while I wash and re-rinse many times. That allows me to use the waterblade and eliminate all water spots. Just be very careful with contamination on the water blade... you will pay dearly for it.

 

Apart from size, what's the difference between the Dry Blade and Water Blade?

 

The Water Blade has a better handle.
