I have an Autoglym one

Excellent but not a replacement for a leather

hint

Wipe the blade with your leather after each sweep ensures no crap stays on there [shouldn't be any if you cleaned it right in the first place]

I have the Turtle Wax one. It gets most of the water off but as Phil says it is not a replacement for a leather. Water will still remain in the nooks and cranies so you need to get the leather out.
Worth getting as it halves drying time.

PS Phil, cheers for the tip. Got my ticket

When I used to valet cars for Budget I just wiped excess water off with a wipper blade and then leather it just to finish off. takes a lot less time than just a leather with results as good.

I too used to use a wiper blade, but now use an Autoglym one. Much better.

Also use a towel to finish it off, 'cos its better than a shammy

Autoglym blade to get the majority of the water off, and then a quick chamis over to get rid of the remaining bits.
