Just becareful that the blade is CLEAN each and every pass. Should a rock or other debris get caught under it as you swipe, you will be able to add custom pinstriping to your mod list!

I have used it on non-black cars with good results. Since getting my black G, I will not use it. A better idea is to have a good sealant or wax on the car and then take the hose nozzle off and let the water sheet off the car. Works about as well as the water blade with no danger of scratching.

well after the 2nd wash all debris should have been removed already, plus i wipe the blade with a microfiber towel before each pass with the blade

and i wax every month!!! looks amazing

I have this too, I like to keep the blade edge moist before I make a pass, helps it slide easier.

Def. make sure it's clean, darker cars will show the damage.

i just bought a blade i can't wait to use it (kinda sounds gay, but it seems like its going to cut my drying time down, and cuts down the use of towels on the paint (even though they are MF's)
