Has anybody used the Flexi Wipe Blades, I saw the valeter at my dealer using one instead of a chamoix, just wondered if anybody had any comments, are they any good?

Absolutely brilliant product! I get the worst of with one then use a chamois leather, but it is much quicker as I don't have to ring the leather out all the time.

Great gadget...... bought a Turtle wax one from Halfords about 8 months ago and cut my car drying time from 30/40 mins to 10mins...

Great buy, my wife uses the blade and I follow on with the chamois, cuts the cleaning time in half

Be cautious when using it and don't do what I did.

I managed to scratch my car a few times before realising that I had very fine amounts of grit on the blade. Luckily it was light enough to polish out. I tend to stay away from it now

They do say guaranteed not to scratch, I guess if you got grit on your sponge or polishing cloth that would scratch too.

I was thinking about getting one too, but i have heard some bad results about them, that sort of put me off..
Are there different makes of these blades then?? Turtle Wax, AutoGlym etc..

I've got two different types and one seems much better than the other. I can't remember the names, I'll have to look when I get home later.
I've never had any problems with it scratching, but I do always make sure the blade is clean.
