Yes, it will scratch if the car is not COMPLETELY clean. There is some debate here of course, but use on a black car and you will see.

I hate to bust out the "I'm a cheap F" card, but has anyone tried the mr. clean auto dry thing-a-magig?

If so, what are your thoughts, becasuse i'm a cheap F, and dont want to dish out over $350 for a CR spotless machine.
Thanks.
EDIT - After a quick search the results are below par...

If your car isn't completely clean, any towel will definately scratch your car. I use the jelly blade with no scratches on a Monaco Blue car.
Why would anyone dry a car that isn't completely clean with anything. (Besides maybe a hair dryer)

I have one for sale. I used it about 10 times and it works great. I have no use for it anymore since I goto the car wash. A black car and NJ weather makes it difficult to wash at home NOV-FEB..PM me for pricing..

All:
Not sure if this is a repost. If it is, let me apologize in advance. Has anyone heard of or used the CR Spotless System? Supposed to be pretty good. Any ideas?

Just try a little white vinegar mixed with water. Does the trick every time.

Anyone tried a leaf blower - I was told the wind generated is similar to auto car wash dryer so should be able to blow the water off just as easily.
