Can I use a California water blade to wipe water off the painted parts of car safely, without causing any scratching?

Jon.

there is some disagreement in past posts on whether they are safe.

black.

Not my tool of choice, though. You should try one of the new laminated waffleweave chamois'. Viking markets one as does Mothers. The Mothers is a bit nicer.

If you move it across the surface lightly and fluidly, and the paint and blade are clean, it won't scratch. I've used it on many cars and had great results.

I follow up with a Microfiber Waffleweave towel to get the small bits and nooks and crannies.

and very very scratch sensitive. you can scratch it by running your finger over, dust IS optional.

soft paints dont work with these blades. i have seen problems occur with perfectly clean cars and brand new waterblades. paint must NOT be scratch sensitive.

less of the color beneath it.

out a system to keep my paint flawless. It was PITA and to people that actually care, nogaro will micromar with the use of a glaze and a finishing pad on a PC due to the low speed. i found a polish with a diminishing abrasives that i can use to get it out. nevertheless, we came to the conclusion that the blue pearl clearcoat they use is very very soft and very scratch sensitive. FWIW i had a Light Silver Metallic A4 before this car and it was a totally different animal, the clear was VERY hard. Then again silver is normally low maintenance. I have also polished volcano and Brilliant black and neither were remotely like this.

dewalt 849, just a few quick passes to remove the micromarring. Then using that same polish on a PC @ speed 5 and working it all the way in and it is working. I have been looking for other diminishing abrasive polishes but this is the first i have found that works well. The P21S is a great sealant but doesnt really hide much... I use their carnauba paste. Then again i like the finish to be perfect not just appear perfect.

Menzerna twins? They have diminishing abrasives and the tightest quality control on abrasive size in the industry.

Maybe i will pick some up and give it a shot.
