Shamwow! - Don't post unless you've used.

I've been trying to find out if anyone has actually used the Shamwow. I see a few posts on here, but it's just everyone talking about how they wouldn't use them and how bad the commercial is (which I agree).



I just want to know if anyone has actually used them on a car and liked them...and proven they don't scratch.



What's the real deal on them? And please don't post if you haven't used them to dry the car's paint. I hate looking through threads for an answer that's never there. Thanks, and this should end the Shamwow question forever!
 
I have one.. They are not very good for using as a chamoise. The commercials are extreamly decieving on it. They just don't absorb water off paint like it does a counter top. My actual chamoise is a 1000 times better. and only half the cost :D
 
I find it useful for wiping general surfaces around the house but would not advise using it on your car.



When I tried it on my car it would only absorb water if i used it as a "blotter." It doesn't work well if you drag it across your paint like you would a chamoise. Afterwards I noticed a lot more scratches so I stopped using it.
 
Other people that do carpets will probably post, but when I was searching through other threads, I saw quite a few people that said the Shamwow worked great for pulling water out of carpets. I might get one just to try that.

I don't even think they work that well around the house. IMO, they're overpriced garbage.

So there we have it. The Shamwow is a blotter type towel and not a dragging/wiping towel. Thanks!

Note: My products are not the ShamWow labeled products. I don't own any of those specific towels. Mine are, what I believe to be the same type of product (ie. made in Germany, viscose construction, etc.).



The product will work as a blotting towel and as a wiping towel. The key to using it as a wiper is moving s-l-o-w-l-y and allowing the wicking to take place. And as was mentioned in another thread, these towels' absorbtion performance improves greatly after they are already wet, contrary to other towels. You obviously don't want to use much pressure at all. I don't use these as my go to drying towel, but was curious as to their capabilities. I never saw any evidence of marring, micro or other.
 
I bought it when they first came out. They are not as absorbant as my Absorber is and they seem to be a little on the abrasive side. Shamwow = POOP!!
 
I love the 3 Shamwows I have and use around the house. Great for mopping up spills on my tile floors and for bathroom duty.
