Shamwow leaves lint so i hate it but the best thing to use is like a air compressor type deal. I just take this reverse vacuum and blow the water off no problem then just wipe up the bottom edges with a microfiber! This works so easy and fast!

I use the Mr. Clean wash system and it air dries with no spots.
Perfect for a lazy guy like myself.

i started using the california water blade. it seems to work on flat areas the best but cannot get any curves. it takes a while to get used to, all it does is push water off onto your bumper and u cant redue a swipe or else that horriable sqeaky chalkboard scratching noise gets worse and the blade starts to jump on the paint.

I used that for a while and it was pretty good, but my water is so hard that it still left spots. I ended up building a water filter to handle the deposits.

I've had the same one for probably 5 years now.
Totally agree. They're a good bit cheaper at Wally-World. I had one for almost twenty years. Would still have it, 'cept I accidentally got oil on it. Got another and it still works great. Microfiber towels can't come close in absorbency.

I tried the Mr. Clean system, but the water pressure here is so low, it didn't work well overall.
