I use a California Water Blade that I use to quickly get the water off my Grand Am GT after I wash it. Would this be ok to use on the Camaro's paint?

I do not like that water blade, it is too unforgiving. Use a good honeycomb microfibre, it is much softer and less risky.

I tried a water blade on my thirdgen and it was more work than what it was worth. If you have a car with no curves it might be easier, like big trucks or something

Never tried it, but VERY skeptical. IOM, too much potential for marring the finish.

Those things make me nervous. One pebble u miss u have a nasty scratch on your paint.

Honestly just get some good quality drying towels then do a quick detail.

I bought one and tried it on my truck. Still more work that it was worth so now I just use it on the glass door in my shower.

works great have used it on my truck and TA. It does get it all, but get most, then i quick wipe with a shammy and done. Takes about half the time and uses less towels. To avoid pebbles and dirt, just wash the blade in the bucket first.
