The guys bragging about how they never spend more than $2 are probably the kind driving old cars that aren't exactly show n shine calibre. There's a difference between washing your vehicle routinely to keep it relatively clean, and shining it up to showroom condition.
Dion's story about the blade is downright scary stuff. Wouldn't let a blade ever come near my car, but you can see he has an 8-year old SUV and is more interested in keeping it well maintained rather than immaculate. So the blade works for him but shouldn't be recommended for everyone.

I hope you remember what they say about assumptions
If I didn't care about keeping the outside of my vehicle as nice as possible I wouldn't spend hours detailing it. I'm just realistic in the fact that it is almost impossible to keep an 8 year old vehicle "immaculate". Nor do I have the money to be trading it in every 2-3 years to always own an immaculate vehicle. Maybe you do, but I don't. To me it's a depreciating asset and I will drive mine as long as possible.
If the blade is as bad as try to make others believe, mine would be all scratched up with endless swirl marks and such. Much to your dissapointment it isn't. As for others they are free to do as they please and have never said otherwise.
