Where'd you get it for $20?Mystikal said:What do you guys think of this little do-hickey? I just picked one up for the mere price of $20, which is about $12US.
Costco on Kennedy. It's like 34.99 at Canadian Tire. :tsk:JPinTO said:

ChrisTO said:well i finally bought one today. i bought the smaller one, dry blade for $15CDN. unfortunately, it's raining here in TO today so i can't try it out. hopefully it works as advertised.
from the searches here, lots of complaints that it 'dances/squeaks' along the surface alot. is there a technique to using it?
I couldn't add anything further that you haven't already said. :thumbup:Nat Brown said:I would say:
1. Also have a towel. Don't worry about getting all the water, just swipe off as much as possible and have a few microfiber towels ready to mop up the rest.
2. Hold on! There's a tendency to have the blade grab, resulting in the handle smacking into the paint. That's a bad thing, although it's usually not a danger to the paint.
3. Keep the blade wet and clean. I always wash my blade before I use it to make sure it's wet and debris free.
The advantage of a water blade is that you're not using an abrasive to dry your car (a towel). Combined with a few microfiber towels and a wool wash mit, you'll avoid scratches.

Hey, are you going down to Bimmerfest this year with me (Keith) and the Bay Bimmerz crew?
I hope so, last time I saw you, you were breaking in the E46 with that "pretty" interior.
Are you still in the Bay Area? (East Bay) and on the Bay Bimmerz email/evite list? :dunno:
Take care
WOW :yikes: You got rid of your baby!Nat Brown said:Yep, it's me. I sold the E46 last month and I'm waiting on a Dodge Magnum. I'm picking it up in Cleveland and driving it back to the Bay Area, so I've got my own little Dodgefest going on.![]()
Keith said:WOW :yikes: You got rid of your baby!![]()
It was great to see your name and to see that your still aound.
What made you buy the magnum, I'm a Dodge guy and just curious. :dunno:
I've had more Hot Rod Dodges, that I'd probably have to write them all down just to remember them all.
Anyway, great to hear from you and hopefully I'll see you around.
