i bought this stuff from AutoZone, which is pretty similar to Shamwow, and use it after my usual car wash to dry the car. First few time was really nice, dry fast and soak up a huge load of water, leave no streak on window...

After about 4 - 5 use, it DOESN'T soak up that much water anymore, I usually have to wipe the same spot 2-3 times compare to 1 time of the initial use to get all of the water out.

Cliff: its only good for the first 5 uses. Better to buy a new one after that or get a REAL microfiber towel for drying.

Been using a synthetic chamois for years. Very pleased. Costs about $8 at AutoZone.

Damn right you are. You're going to need something to clean up all that hooker blood in your trunk.

Hell no, it's soft enough to dry a baby and strong enough to smother it.

You must have received a knock off. Beware of imitators.

I dried it off with my Sham-Wow.

You should throw out that cheap *** chamois and get a REAL chamois! Cleans up horse semen in a snap!
