danbanger: I am have this product. In fact I have all Viking products. Viking is based in St. Louis and I just hosted a detailing event there.

This squeege is a high quality product for glass but I would not use it on paint for a couple reasons. The blade is very thick and relatively inflexible. The blade is also just flat at the end. This means to get maximum efficiency you need to press firmy to bend the blade and scoop the water. This pressure against the painted surface is a bad thing in itself. Combine that with the risk of getting a piece of debris in it and it could be disasterous.

If you compare this to the California Water Blade, for instance, the CWB is "T" shaped at the end which acts as a natural scoop for the water. The end is also very thin and flexible so you don't have to press as hard against the surface. There is still a risk of debris catching.

The best bet is still the Waffleweave Microfiber.
