Eeak. Horses for courses and all the rest of it, but it's worth making you aware you can do some pretty nasty damage if there's any dirt particles left on the paint when using one of these.

im saying i can see why people use them for the glass, but i dont personally.

partly due to me being over cautious....glass can scratch too

and well..i dont tend to spend long drying cars when they dry themselves after a detail.

The quickest way i dry a car is with a hose pipe, no sh1t!

Out of interest do you use a filter through the hose - living in essex the water is horrendous and ideally looking to see how I can improve speed to avoid water spotting
