I got a cheaper version for about half the price. It's a silicon wiper that you use to wipe water off the car after washing. I don't even use it anymore--just let it air dry cause I use shower water in buckets

I still refuse to drag anything over my black paint like that. I hear 50/50 about whether people like it or not.

go feel the water blade. there's less friction using that, then there would be with a chamois, absorber, towels, etc..

I have used this product on every colored car, including black. As long as you keep the blade clean, you do not have to worry about it scratching your car.....I clean mine off after each use, and store it in its factory packaging.

you should be ok, just feel it. i'm sure if it came with the water blade it's purpose is going to be good. all microfiber towels i've used have been great, and really do a good job without leaving streaks, and swirl marks. if you use the absorber or chamois, make sure to wet it first before you use it.
