The Original Waterblade. When One Pass created the first Water Blade in 1996, it was called the "Original California Water Blade" and was designed specially for car care. We now offer a wide range of solutions for fast and easy cleanup around the home, garage, shop and for the service industry. One Pass founder Don Varner is a innovator, inveterate tinkerer and legend in the automotive world as the designer behind such famous custom 'Rods as El Matador, Silhouette and The California Star. Despite enormous controversy, Don’s version of the 1927 Model T earned the title “World’s Most Beautiful Roadster” in 1984 and cemented his place in the automotive world. It was this kind of disruptive solution that brought the original Water Blade into existence, upending the car care world in the process. This creativity continues to drive new production solutions well into our 22nd year!
