I have an original California Jelly Blade that I bought from Amazon. I was surprised I couldn't reorder, so looked around and started reading the reviews. I bought a Pilot Automotive CC-2010 and really didn't like it. The handle was too hard and the blade felt short. Frustrated, I tracked down the website that seemed to be for the manufacturer and wrote the following email:"Hi Don,I'm one of many who came to greatly appreciate the original California Jelly Blade, and am looking for a replacement. Every review comparing "Superflex" with the original says it is too flexible. The Pilot ultraflex is no longer available if it ever was. The "Soft-N-Dry" doesn't work well and the handle is too hard for the shower. (I bought one.) The California Car Duster Jelly blade is clearly avoiding the original patents and isn't a "t-bar" blade. Your website has a "gel" version that doesn't appear to be for sale anywhere.My questions:1) Which one is closest to the original original?2) Where can I buy it?3) Why not make one to those specs again?Thanks!Larry"I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Don is the inventor. Here is his reply:"Larry, I quite frankly can't understand people not liking the Superflex that is what i prefer and I designed them all, I have all of them in my garage and I'll grab the Superflex every time. The Gel blade was turned down because of cost, I designed that model as well, however I still prefer the Superflex. Feel free to call if you have questions!!  Don"So I bought a Superflex and it is good, but not quite as good as the original. The handle is right. The length is right. Whew. However, it really is, as some suggested, too flexible. Not a lot too flexible, but just enough that it takes a little more concentration, a little more feedback to use it. Hence the four stars. However, it works very, very well, and is better than the original on curved surfaces such as my car.I believe this is, as Don suggests, the right one to buy. However, I wish it would be just a little stiffer, say halfway between where it is now and the original. Then we're moving forward with this product and I'm not longing for a past product I can no longer buy.
