Anyone use waterblade/flexiblade to dry their car?

now almost every morning need to wipe whole car before going to work

need to go early or caught in traffic

some said it will scratch the car if some dirt caught in the blade

any thought? icon_question.gif

So there's only 3M quality painter tape? It's pretty hard to source in my opinion

Any other brands or perhaps pointers to obtain this 3m painter's tape?

I found this painters tape at Mr D.I.Y

A lot cheaper than 3M but i never use it before

I found out that the Zip Wax wash liquid feels watery & foamless. Im not sure whether it was meant to be like that or I mixed it with a wrong ratio. BTW this is how I did my first wash of my new Vi.

1. Wash & Rinse with ONLY water and a new microfiber cloth due to the thickness of the dirt on my car
2. Wash with Turtle Wax Zip Wax Car Wash liquid, rinse thoroughly and dried with a new microfiber towel.
3. Wax with Turtle Wax Express Shine. Im not sure Im doing it right  rclxub.gif . According to the instructions behind the bottle, all I got to it is spray and wipe off (?). Thats what I did and the car did get a little shinier, but I dont see any effect with water after I apply it to my car  icon_question.gif

Wash and wax from what i try, they don't foam up really well

but they really have some wax making water sheeting like sealant

Clay  - got the 3M and PermaGlass Clay bar. Advise me which claybar is the best for white paint. Will use ONR clay lube dilution as clay lube.

*
I have use both,

Most 3M in the market is either oem or fake, i think i got the fake

3M, is harder to mold back from Permaglass clay, need to rehydrate after storage or it become hard


PG clay easier to remold , pickup better but it leave some clay bits like eraser

both pickup surface contamination well or use alternative like clay sponge(Osren, Optimum) or clay cloth
