Sham Wow review
Once a decade I'll buy something off a TV commercial. I bought some Sham Wow's and used one to wipe the wet car with. They SUCK. They might be good for other things but a regular sham cloth works a lot better. They didn't remove the water completely.

The quality of that product matches the commercial ad for it. Good to know. I just saw a meguire's product similiar to shamwow at riteaid earlier, its probably work the same. :(

Awww, I was actually considering getting this one. They did a great job on their commercial I guess lol.
How about "The Absorber" chamois? Anyone ever use that? I see it at Walmart all the time, but I never got around to buying it...

I just bought "The Absorber" chamois at an Auto Zone store and i am really impressed!!! It works amazingly!!!!! I am so glad i listened to the store clerk. She recommended this over all the other chamois and towels she had in store.
I also have the SHAM WOW(yeah, i am a sucker too!) and it sucks! It streaks and does not absorb water at all. I used it as soon as i bought it from the store to wipe my car after it had been raining and it was terrible so today after trying "The Absorber" i gave it another shot to compare them but it still sucks! So.......yeah, definitely get The Absorber!!! |

Lol go to youtube and type in scamwow so many poele making fun of it. Its a load of crap. Just buy an absorber. That is what everyone uses. Its cheap and very very good. Plus you can get them in many different colors =)

Are you just using an asborber to get rid of the water? I use a silicon water blade first then an asborber.

the guy from the shamwow commercials seems pretty cocky, just my opinion. i have not used the shamwow though, i use the california water blade and the absorber, and i will for life. :)
