Flexi Blades

[JAMZ]

I just got 1 free in a Meguiers Pack that i bought..

MAde of silicone and arnt surposed to scratch yer paintwork at all and surposed to have less friction applied than most terry towels and chamois..

Anyone used one of these things?

Are they any good?

[c76jon]

i use one and they are superb
doesnt apply to you but the cheap copy ones will mark your paint but a good branded one like you have are the business and will not mark paint

invented in california and originally brought out as the "californian water blade"

you will still need to quickly wipe what the blade leaves after you have used it
ie where blade wipes will remove all water but you cant get it in all spots due to size etc
but cuts drying time down massively
i use one then use a wffle weave towel and i will dry my m3 in about 5 minutes and it will be bone dry

i use one and its the business, (branded as "flexiblade) was about a tenner and my bro got it from a car show, they were all from the states by the look of that and everything else they were selling


as john says, not the best around lips/ridges gaps etc , but on falt panels they rock

[JAMZ]

Thks m8,

wernt to sure bout dragging something along the paint work like that lol even if it mande of silicone..

but ive been using a Chamois which has now been binned.. i didnt take too much intrest in cleaning Cars as i do now with the new paint job..

I was clean,dont get me wrong but i didnt know what i do now and certainly didnt spenmd as much money on cleaning gear

Yea, as Jon said a lil bit of fine tuning at the end with a terry

I was going to give that to the missus and get myself another drying blanket from meguiers...

dont think il bother now,this will do the trick nicely then..

[c76jon]

bin the chamois and bin the terry!!!

meguiars water blankets are good

but just saying that the waffle weaves i have for sale are 3 times the size twice the thickness and much higher quality!!!

if they werent better i wouldnt be using them i promise you
these waffles are 3 ft by 2 foot

We use those "blade" things to dry our cars at work. (Hertz) - Definately cuts down drying time especially as we do around 80 a day at mom.
Very impressed with them - just don't drop it. If you do then make sure there are no sand grains lying around or you'll hate yourself for weeks.

K, show me the way to them then pls,ive obvioulsy missed em..

I got a lil something that included:

Gold Class Liquid Wax
Gold Class Car Wash
Speed Detailer
Hot Rims Cleaner
Tyre Gloss
Wash Mitt
and of course the Blade

I also for the Cab got the Spoke bruss for the Pina's
Plastic Glass Cleaner
Supreme Shine MicroFibre cloths x3

Oh and some Gliptone Leather Cleaner & Conditioner too

So yea im thinking the only thing i really missed is the Waffle weaves

[Hammer1]

Quite a few people i know have scratched their paintwork with a flexiblade,so make sure every little spec of dirt has been removed after sponging and hosing.

[c76jon]

i agree with the blades

wash it well and make sure its grit free


jamz ive sent you a pm mate

john

[JAMZ]

Lol, after i left this topic i replied to your group buy thread.. i missed it cuz im obviouly blind..

il check PM

i use the autoglym version and have really got to love it, wasnt sure at first.

i spend a couple of minuts rinsing it with fresh water to make sure its clean, and away we go.

yeah my mate recently bought one for his civic and
i gotta admit i was very impressed

trying to fully dry a car from scratch with a chamois
is a nightmare but the blace takes about 75% off and then
you just rub the rest off with a chamois etc

but judging by jon i might be buying one of those weaves.
if he uses them on his awesome m3 they've gotta be good

can you let me know some prices jon

cheers mate
