Kragen doesn't carry it. I haven't worked my way down the phone book because it's too early in the morning here. I prefer to buy it today because we've been having a pollen bloom and my beautiful wash/wax is *covered* with waves of yellow-orange pollen.

The blade is for next wash-time.

so they still have kragen there. over here its checkers. same company i guess or there was a merger a few years back. but do you have an auto zone down there. they usualy carry them, and pep boys. wel thats the two places i seen them at. i dont know how good the blade is though, but dusters are good, especially if you live in the dessert like me

WalMart. I almost bought one. They are about $20.

I was very unimpressed with the water blade.. I returned it

they sell them at target too

Just got back from Sam's.

They're going for $12.

It's okay after the first couple of washes. Somehow the sillicone on mine starts to break apart. I get gaps on the blade, but it still gets the job done.

Thanks for all the replies.

We do have a Target nearby; I believe the nearest WalMart is in Fremont (an hour away). I never heard of Sam's or Checkers. I don't think we have a Pep Boys nearby, although I am a fan of Mannie, Moe, and Jack :-)

I've heard mixed results from the blade, but I'm going to give it a try. Even if it takes only a bit of time off the process it'll be worthwhile.

I never thought I'd need a duster, but the rain followed by sun has made the trees go nuts. And I never had a black car before. I love it, but it is a bit of work.

Thanks again, all.

Costco sells both. I love the blade, I think it is the best thing since sliced bread. I also use the duster every day between washings.

Cosco, eh?

Time to take the sister-in-law (and her membership card) for a drive :-)

Thanks for the tip.

At Costco its $20 for 2!
