and yes, who cares what your neighbors think... no swirl mark, quick dry, and it's great for those of us with deep dish rims to get the water out of the inner side of the rim.

I use the california blade.. i haven't seen it make scratches.. but the i'm always paranoid of getting dirty on the blade. I kinda regret buying the blade cuz it's WAY over priced.. not only that. it still have to go over the car w/ a chammy to get rid of the droplets cuz it doesn't fully mold to all the angles of the g, and too big for the grill, front fascia and underneath the spoiler. Also get so paraoid of the plastic part hitting/scratching the car. With so much paranoia check, rechecking, double checking, doubling wiping, u maybe be better off just go over the car w/ a soft super absorber with a peace of mind.

yeah, the pressure washer will not get it clean enough to dry with a blade or chamois. I wouldnt even wax my car with a pressure washing only. PW only will leave way too much grit on the paint.
But like everyone has said, unless you used alot of pressure with the ca blade, those will buff out easily.

I was thinking about getting the rechargable one from the Sharper Image:

Only lasts 10 minutes though but at least it is electric so it'll be quiet.

I also use the Absorber, and use my air compressor to get the water out from the mirrors, door handles, fuel door area, etc.

remember, the california blade MUST be wiped out before each pass to be sure nothing stick to it from the last past. If you have repetitive scratch on the same panel its definatly because you dragged dirt with the blade without wiping it between pass.
Sorrry sor the paint, a little cleaner wax/scratch remover would probably take care of it
