I've lost count with the number of cars we've machined to removed the scratches these aqua-blades inflict, throw it in the bin or use it on your windows if you must, even then i wouldnt as i dont think scratched glass looks that good either.....

we did a BMW 320 today that had a huge curved scratch from it on the bootlid, 99% certain it will be from one of these blades, as it follows the sweeping action your hand would make when drying the car with it, a right pain to machine out too
