My Ride: 2006 5 Series ????
I have one and got scratches... Didn't use it for a while. Took a Certified Auto Detailing Course from CAT and posed this same question to the instructor. He said in order to use it, make sure the blade is clean before each use. I never took that precaution before so now I use it again, I just make sure the blade is clean and haven't had an issue since. Same thing goes for a California Duster, just shake it b4 & after use.....

Use the grass blower to dry your cars...works great!
I thought I was the only one until I saw a mobile detailer using one too!
