Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the Vikan Water Blade work for drying large vehicles such as vans?
Yes, but with some limitation. The Vikan Water Blade has a 45 cm long rubber blade that covers a wide area per pass on a standard car. On larger vehicles such as vans or lorries, a single pass is not enough to cover the whole surface, so several passes are needed to dry the entire bodywork or window.
What sets the Vikan Water Blade apart from other blades on the market?
The Vikan Water Blade stands out through its combination of a soft rubber blade and a polypropylene handle, with no sharp edges at all. This reduces the risk of scratches compared with blades made from harder materials or with metal components in the construction. The 45 cm long blade provides a wide contact area that effectively prevents streaks and spots on both bodywork and glass. Other cleaning tools for detailing are also available in our range.
