Has anyone tried using a ShamWOW to dry their cars? They claim it works great for cars, and I've heard good things from homeowners. I've never had luck with shammys, and my microfiber drying towels really do suck, especially in the cold. Any one have experience with this product?

Oh and if you have never heard of this product, check out the commercial, its pretty funny and kind of annoying:

and while we're on the subject, after you watch the real commercial, watch this parody, its hilarious:

I've heard shammys will put light scratches in the car so I've never used one. I just use a nice soft cotton towel to dry off the car, and I squeegee all the glass.

 

from the commercials i always got the feeling it was a scam.

 

Holy crap that parody had me busting out laughing!! Thanks for that.

 

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's actually just a regular shammy. lol






...soft enough to caress a baby and strong enough to smother it.

 

use a micro fiber towel to driver your car. A shimmy will scratch the clear coat .

 

oh I know that video still cracks me up even though I've watched it many times.

My girlfriends sister got some for her appartment and she said that they obviously weren't as good as the commercial makes them out to be, but they are still impressive.

...she has one dedicated specifically to party clean up

 

..."Throw ShamWow at the wall, Doesn't even stick"

hahah

 

oh damn I just saw the parody . my side hurts. Sham F@#king WOW.

 

my brother bought one of those shamwow towels at the LA auto show; it was BS, dont buy it...

 

omg that parody was hillarious!

but i dont use shamwow, 'the absorber' is all i need to dry my car, got it at wall mart for like 8bucks.

 

This girl seems to like it, and she looks pretty decent to. Loves the big girls

I have been using an Absorber brand shammy for a long time now... works pretty good for me. I give my paint the VIP treatment like every 6 months, so small surface scratches because of dust get buffed and waxed away anyway.

I honestly don't think the Shamwow is and different from my Absorber but it's cheaper so go for it.

 

holy crap that girl is annoying! I dont care how often she buys stuff from informercials lol. I couldnt count how many times she fixed her hair if I tried. Who watches 8 minutes of that crap /rant

but yeah she did seem impressed. I kinda want to try it, I just dont want to scratch my car with some cheap crap lol

 

ew on the girl...

just get the absorber, its made of rubbery and "absorbs" a ton of water and such, i love mine.

 

well darn it I was just at Meijer the other day for some shopping kart races with my friends, I should have gotten an absorber then, drat.

 

lol yeah, who won the race?!

Just get it next time! you wont be disappointed....i hope at least lol...it comes in a little tube case you can just keep it in also.

 

I too noticed the hair fixing with the plus size girl.. I was like TUCK THAT ISH BEHIND YOUR EAR ALREADY. Eh, she was honest on her review. GND FTW.

2up on buying the absorber. I have a mini absorber too, good for the wheels and small stuff where the big one would get in the way.

 

hehehe that's some good stuff

 

Well my buddy's got mad power in the straights and I get pwned in the straight pulls down the long aisles, but when it comes to flying around corners and weaving between poles and knocked over toys, you cant touch me.

I'm picking up an absorber this weekend :-)

 

haha, i see.

didnt know they had a mini one, i gotta go get that >.>
