Default I wouldn't. I only use a wateblade right after I wash. Any particles that are in the air..

that have settled could scratch. It may look clean but it probably isn't.

Default BTW, if you need to buy one, I have one!

I used it twice, so it's in perfect shape. I just don't like the idea of running that thing over the paint. $10, it's yours!

Default Not unless you just washed, otherwise dust and other debris on your paint will

scratch it all to hell. Never dry off rain unless you've just washed your car in the rain. The minimal water spots that rain leaves (it's distilled water afterall) are much preferable to the scratches you'll induce.

It's silicone, not plastic. Mine's still ok after 2 years, so no idea how long it'll last.
