No doubt all the people who spend 4 hours on waxing are cringing. I feel for you, 'cause I was once one of you.

Easy to hold and the tip is soft so no marring of the surface if you bump.
+1! I only have the sidekick, I wanted to tested it out first but I know what I am getting for Christmas or my birthday! haha

Chamois is great for high volume drying where you can't launder your microfiber drying towels and you don't own a pro wringer.

It's just like any tool, take care of it and prep the surface correctly and it won't mess you up.

I don't own a house so I don't have a leaf blower...
I use a chamois to get most of the water off, then I dry it off with a waffle weave towel

You can still own/use a battery powered blower. They are handy as you can take them to the pay and spray for ur two bucket wash.
