Anybody got one? I watched my local detailer use it to squeegee off the body surface water on my Super Black XE. Came off like a charm! No more water spots after washing! No more chamois! I ordered 2.

A couple of people here are using them, and they report similar success...

I'm still an ol' leather chamois user myself, and while it's a PITA, it works great and lasts forever.

Well, gimme one! LOL...Seriously, though, I think I'm gonna go for one...I use one of those spotless dryers, and a towel, but whatever you can do to get it dryer that much faster, y'know?

Here's a great idea I saw the other day at the DIY C/W...Dude has an old Buick or something...Comes out of the bay, and opens up the trunk, pulls out and starts up a GAS BLOWER...Used it like a hair dryer all over the car...Pretty interesting idea...

I just picked one up the other day...It does work extremely well...Just make sure that the car is CLEAN, or you will get streaks from any dirt that's on the surface...

Satrider, it's basically a window squeegee [sic] but with a different type of blade.

Seen them @ Target also for about $19.

I was just a little afraid of scratching the paint. But if it works...or makes it easier
