Do a search on this one. I use one but...
there is some disagreement in past posts on whether they are safe.

Completely safe. Only danger is from the user, not the tool.

Then it was dirty...or the car was. I've never seen it scratch any color from white through red to
black.

Well said.
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.

I have seen someone scratch their car, but it was all in the way it was used.
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.

i am saying a brand new out of the box waterblade would do it. nogaro is terribly soft
and very very scratch sensitive. you can scratch it by running your finger over, dust IS optional.
