I don't use it on the vette (painted surface), although I do own one.
I use a super soft, heavily napped drying towel.
The big difference is - If the blade picks up any debris left behind after washing, it will drag it accross the paint and scratch.
If the towel picks up that same debris, there's a good chance it will grab it into the nap, keeping it off your paint.
The blade works well on shower doors

They are safe as long as they are used with caution and understanding of what could happen if not used carefully. They are great for glass. I will only use one if I am powerwashing a car and am very certain that there isn't any threat on the surface I am using it on. If you do a good job of flushing your cracks n crevises of all dirt and debris as well as rinse from top down, then this tool in and of itself will not marr most finishes.

consider a blower as a valid option to remove excess water... I personally am not fond of these blades. Anything blows onto the surface and you might grind it into the paint.

..However that being said, I now use a leaf blower to dry my 98 Vette, not that I don't trust my water blade, but the blower gets water off more effectively..

Nope, use a nice waffle drying towel I got from Autogeek.
