the water blade will pick up specs of dirt just like absorbers or micro fiber towels. thats why every car gets swirls. as long as u clean the water blade every swipe or flip the absorber after every swipe or towel you will minimize the swirls. as far as meguiars they rule u have to use the final inspection detail spray not the detail spray (crap). jus my 2 penny's

Swilrs come from mechanical polishers....not absorbers, towels or water blades. fine scratches can come from drying you car with either of the 3 but the only way they would produce any kind of swirl is if you dried in a circular motion....don't think you can do that with a water blade anyway. Use what works for you and just be sure to wash and rice the car well to reduce the chances of getting fine scratches.

werd!

Royal Blue will make your life a lot easier n8. I usually just let my car air dry after spraying it off (gives me an excuse to go cruisin'). Then when I come back I take a big *** microfiber cloth and dry the car the rest of the way. Then apply the Royal Blue. Do you have a garage?

The next few washes after you Royal Blue will be a piece of cake, because the water and everything just beads right off, leaving absolutely no streaks or spots. I went yesterday and just used the "high pressure rinse" feature for $1.50, just to spray the dust and what not off. And now it honestly looks like I spent all day detailing the thing. I've found that a coat of Royal Blue will typically last 4-6 washes.

...Side note: I just got sent a package of that ICE stuff for free as a promotion type deal. I can't wait to try it out and see how it compares to the Blue. Look for a Product Review on that within the next couple weeks. ....i love free stuff

Hey everyone I was wondering what the best stuff is to use besides the Royal Blue because I do not have that yet but will be ordering it. Is Meguiares that next best thing? And if so which Meguiare wax should I get.

Thank You
