FAQs

Is the silicone blade replaceable?

The current product design does not feature a replaceable blade. The premium silicone is engineered for durability and longevity.

Can I use this squeegee with cleaning solutions?

Yes, you can use it with water or mild cleaning solutions. However, rinse the blade thoroughly after use with cleaning solutions to maintain its material integrity.

Will this squeegee scratch my car's paint?

No, the soft, advanced silicone blade is specifically designed to be scratch-free on delicate surfaces like automotive paint and glass.

What is the benefit of the low-friction silicone?

The advanced silicone provides over 15 times less friction than standard tools, allowing the squeegee to glide effortlessly across surfaces, removing water more effectively and gently.

How should I clean the squeegee?

Rinse the blade after each use and wash periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

What surfaces can I use this on?

It's suitable for cars, windows, shower cabins, tiles, boats, glass, metal, and plastic surfaces.

Is this suitable for professional use?

Yes, the durable construction, ergonomic handle, and efficient performance make it suitable for both professional detailers and home users.

Troubleshooting

Squeegee leaves streaks or misses water.

Ensure the silicone blade is clean and free of debris. Check for any nicks or damage on the blade's edge. Apply consistent, even pressure during use.

The handle feels uncomfortable or insecure.

Adjust your grip to utilize the flexible, profiled design. Ensure your hands are dry for a more secure hold. For very large areas, consider a squeegee with a longer handle if available.

Silicone blade appears stiff or less flexible.

This can occur in very cold temperatures. Allow the squeegee to warm up to room temperature before use. Avoid storing in freezing conditions.

Squeegee doesn't glide smoothly.

The surface may be too dry or have residual cleaning product that has dried. Lightly misting the surface with water can improve glide. Ensure you are using the advanced silicone blade as intended, not scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Rinse: After each use, rinse the silicone blade under clean water to remove any debris.
