I've been using the california jelly blade for several months now without any problem...until yesterday. Must have been a bit of dirt/grit and it made a very shallow (but noticeable to me) scratch. &^%*$%$!

So be very careful with those things. I'm debating whether to use it again at all, or simply being more careful. Wiping it off with your free hand after each pass to ensure there's nothing on the blade (as suggested earlier) is a good idea.

So anyway... My question would be regarding Meguiar's ScratchX product: Is there another (better) product out there I should consider to get rid of a minor scratch?

Thanks --

This sure is an old post!

I never purchased a water blade.

I use the leaf blower method. Works great.

I use a water blade on my 12 y.o. DD, but never on the Boxster, Jag or any of our 'nice' cars.
