Customer Reviews

Best for drying a car
I recently purchased a brand new car and of course I wanted only the best equipment and tools to clean and pamper my car. I tried a lot of different "shammies" and drying towels made of terry cloth or microfiber or whatever. Simply said, none of them left me satisfied after washing and drying the car. One day I was at T@rget and saw this in the automotive section read the back and said "hey why not, worth a shot". Well that shot paid off big time! This thing is amazing at what it does and leaves my car streak-free and shining beautifully when done. What works best for me is that it HAS to be somewhat wet before starting to use it; not saturated or sopping wet but a good damp works. The amount of water the absorber retains really is a feat in itself. I recommend this highly and trust it fully to always get the job done.

not a chamois
don't think you are buying a substitute for a chamois. you are not.
it is thick, it does not absorb as well. it is a fake chamois and fake is always a compromise.
it leaves water behind. rated just ok for me. spend your money on a real chamois.

this works very well
but the key is to get it wet and then wring it out before you use it. i dont think the nay-sayers know that
