PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Introduction
Considering the arid climate of the UAE, drying off moisture on your car after washing is just as crucial as the actual cleaning process. That’s because it protects your car from dust abrasion, thereby ensuring the longevity of your car’s paint and coatings. This is why the SONAX Flexi Blade – Silicon was designed to dry your ride after its latest bathing session. The product works similarly to a window cleaner’s squeegee, wicking the water away incredibly quickly in one smooth motion, leaving the surface completely free from moisture in a matter of minutes.What the Product Does
The SONAX Flexi Blade – Silicon is intended to remove water and other excess liquid particles from the surface of a vehicle. It’s made of soft, flexible silicone to allow it to work effectively around the contours of a vehicle’s bodywork without causing any damage. We designed it to be rigid enough not to feel flimsy, enabling it to efficiently and quickly wick the water away.Benefits vs. Features
Benefits
- Saves Time and Effort: Using this product is easier than towel drying and much longer-lasting and effective in the long run. It is the ideal solution for removing moisture with less hassle.
- Leaves No Scratches: As long as you do a proper job cleaning in the first place you’ll have no issues with scratching your paintwork. A bit of care and attention is all that’s required, which should be a given when washing your ride anyway.
- Requires no Squeezing: Unlike a towel the product obviously doesn’t require any regular ringing out and has far less potential to collect any detritus, further speeding up the drying process.
- Ideal for Car Body and Glass: The product is not just for the body of cars; owners can use it to remove standing water from their glass components including the windows and windscreens.
- Ensures Maximum Surface Protection: The SONAX Flexi Blade is designed to induce less friction when used for drying. This allows it to maintain the finish and coatings of vehicles, especially because they are not subject to the risk of micro-scratches.
Technical Features
- Flexible Silicone Lip: This product is made with a silicone lip that is designed to be just rigid enough to remove excess standing water. This makes it the ideal fit for removing moisture without causing any damage.
- Ideal for Flat Surfaces: The product works best on larger, flatter areas of bodywork and glass. This means that you may require additional cloth or a towel to mop up smaller areas and harder-to-reach nooks and crannies.
- Ergonomic Design: We designed this product with an effective handgrip system which is approximately 12.5 inches long to mitigate stress when it is in use.
- Versatile Application: The SONAX Flexi Blade has domestic usage like cleaning household surfaces such as showers and doors.
How to Use
- Wash Car First: It is crucial to wash your car thoroughly before using the product to dry off standing water. This is to avoid dirt entering the silicon lip of the product.
- Prep the Product: Before using the product, ensure that you flush it with clean water to remove any form of contaminants.
- Dry in Sections with Light Pressure: Now, when drying your vehicle, it is necessary to do it one section at a time while being gentle.
- Finish With a Towel: The blade will only dry off the open surfaces of your car, as such you need a micro fibre towel to dry where it cannot reach.

FAQ
The SONAX Flexi Blade is intended to be non-abrasive since it is made from frictionless silicone materials. The only important caveat is to use it on wet and cleaned surfaces to avoid scratches from dirt and contaminants.
This product is designed to remove standing water from your vehicle’s surface. If left unattended especially in the hot climate of the UAE, it can lead to water spots, which are tough to remove.
While this product works best on flat surfaces, it can be used on curved surfaces as well since it has a flexible silicone lip. This means that it can adapt its shapes to different areas of your car including tight curves and contours.
