"The Blade" or "California Water Blade"
what do you think of "The Blade" or the "Origional California Water Blade"? I've never been pleasesd with Chamois and usually use compressed air to dry the car

I use one all the time - works great, You still have to dry of course but *most* of the excess water is gone.
Try to find 'em for less that $20 though.

Ive always wondered how those work. Do they conform to the contours of the car?

To some extent they do. They're most efficient on flat areas such as hood, trunk, roof, sides, and glass. However, they're very soft and pliable and you can get *most* of the water drops off all areas making the chamois or towel work go much faster.

They're made of medical grade silicone and they don't scratch.

Yeah, just like fake titties
. Not. Or more accurately, not anymore.
You spelling on squeegies is correct
.
If you make sure the blade edges are clean, and use a steady, even pressure, there are rarely any streaks if ever.
