Wiper Blade?
What do you guys think of the California Wiper Blade? I ordered one along with my california car duster(wood handle 
) and wanted to know if you guys just use it for the windows, or is it safe to use on the whole car?

Personally, I don't use a water blade, but I know some people that do. I use one big-blue drying towel and can do my whole roadster without wringing once.
Not that $20 is a lot of money, but the Carrand Wipeout is 1/2 the price of the California Water Blade and it's (IMHO) more ergonomic.

You should expect that any microfiber, or cotton towel for that matter, will "loosen up" after a few washings.
MAKE SURE YOU WASH SEPARATELY from other items, ESPECIALLY terry towels - or you'll get a lot of lint in the microfiber. Wash only with liquid detergent, not powdered. And I prefer to air-dry mine, but you can use the lowest dryer setting if you wish.
Oh, and don't use fabric softener or bleach, and don't iron them.

I use a wiper blade ( not sure if it is the california one that you guys are talking about) no scratches. Then I use my leaf blower. I hang the power cord over my sholder and take all of the attachments off the blower so the tube is only 6 inches long dries car in 10 min.
