Usage of old wiper blade

[bryan90s]

i always found this idea of making use the old wiper. tht is...to wipe water off from the car body, after a car wash.

is this safe to our car paint? will it lays any scratches ?

i'd chuck them out and buy a new unit to just do that. If its not fit to be on my car then its out in the bin.

The most fanatic car detailers will tell you that only chamoist cloth will do.
But if you are not that concerned about these minute details, I guess It should not be a problem, just make sure the wiper is dust/sand free.

I use it. Just make sure you dont press to hard, or scratch it from the wipers hard part.

i think if the wiper can wipe on windscreen, should be no problem wipe da car body kua... coz if the wiper can scratch the car bodywork, surely it will cause big damage to ur windscreen rite??... so, jz make sure u dont press too hard lar when do da wiping use used wipers..

Correction. Glass is hard. Paint is not.. it's just paint. Paint scratches much easier then glass. Don't believe me? Take a blade and try it on the glass and your paintwork.

agree oso
paint is quite so soft u know
just try and take a dry cloth and wipe on ur paint
u'll see scratches surely if u look at a certain angle. some cloth even more ganas, wet oso can scratch. so imagine ur wiper, which is rubber(harder sumore :)

if u dowan to waste ur wiper, get silicon lar...dunnit to change anymore unless warranty :)

Honestly, I'd rather not use old wiper blades. Just go to pasar malam and get those towels. It's cheap and it works to a certain extent. Else, buy a powerful air blaster!

 

[skylab]

yes...it is 'dangerous' to use the wiper. just an ordinary good morning towel will do.

 

[satria_95]

Remember that after washing the clothes clean, soak it in softener for about 10 minutes or more. Then take the towels out and let it drip dry. Do not squeeze or twist the towel. Hand it directly once you take it out of the pail. It will keep the cloth soft. Just a thought. hehe

i actually got the wiper idea from a cheap car wash too. from then on, i've been using a old wiper to dry clean my car. actually u just got to make sure the wiper is clean before doing it. so far there isn't any visible scratches on my car coz i'll really make sure the wiper is clean and has no stones.

Ya, i saw a lot of ppl doing this.

But if u guys don't agree with using wiper blade, then what would u guys recommend? Other media like clothes WONT scratch the paintwork?
