in vancouver, it tends to rain alot, and when the rains leave the waterdroplets on your car, it tend to create alot of "dusty rings" when the droplots dry off.
to fix this, i was wondering if its ok to use a Squeegee to wipe these off on the PAINTED areas of the car (windows are ok obviously)? will it scratch..?

Guaranteed to scratch. Water blades and shamois are for CLEAN paint. After it rains you'll still have all the dust/dirt on your paint. Using these products will cause swirls and scratches. You will be moving the dirt all around against your paint.

My hubby bought one for the 911 and he was very impressed by it.

Agreed. I use the dry blade and it works well, but only on clean paint
