Get your car under some decent lighting and you will see the horror inflicted by those drying blades, i seriously suggest you ditch it mate, get some tar remover and some clay to add to your collection too.
I wouldnt dare use those cloths you have either, especially after they have been on the floor
Looks an alright job though bud.
