The SONAX Flexi Blade can be a safer alternative to towel drying. Some towels tend to gather dust, dirt, and other debris and trap them in their fibers. That means when you are wiping that towel across your vehicle's paint, you are risking some serious surface scratches. This problem does not exist with the SONAX Flexi Blade! The blade itself is made of an extremely low-friction silicone that won't be able to scratch your paint's surface, even if you tried! This gives you the peace of mind to freely dry your car without having to worry about have long it will take to polish all of those washing scratches out! You also don't have to worry about the limitations that some water blades have with curved surfaces and edges. The SONAX Flexi Blade is made of an ultra-flexible silicone that can conform to whatever curves and edges that are on your vehicle!
