I had used the same blade for 7 years now and it is the BEST .It gets the majority of the water off.The whole ideal is that your towel is not soak just damp when your done.

This sounds like a useful thing to own and make drying easier.
I'm on the lookout for one of these.

Even 7 years ago I think I paid 16.99 and I still have the original holder it came in.I believe its a California water blade brand.

Update: The water blade is still the coolest product. Pretty much ever.

I just use a high quality 100% cotton towel and that works great. Also, Zaino recommended them http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...S&Store_Code=Z The car has better bath towels than the rest of the family.

I bought one of those california water blades for my dad about 12 years ago since he was the only one in the family who actually dried the car off after. I saw it recently still in the original clear package it came in hanging on his garage wall.

For me personally I have always just drip dried. Weather in New England is way too variable to worry about water spots.

Recently I purchased a simple power washer, lower psi on the washer scale, and it mixes the soap for me. It burns thru soap, but for the aggrivation of mixing it in a pail, I will waste extra, I just need to get cheaper, non concentrated soap, cuz $6/quart of maguires is a little rich for my blood since it uses that in 3-4 washes. I can now clean my car in less than 5 minutes from start to finish including cleanup.. Soooo nice.

my dad had one of those waterblades, it worked well on my civic when i had that, haven't tried it on the beetle though.

I use an old-school 'natural' shammy, and a lot of elbow grease. It takes a while, but we can use the bonding time, and I can use the exercise No spots either.
