Shamwow

Anyone ever used this on their Viper? I wanted to give it a try.

Have you seen one up close? It looks pretty rough. It may absorb the Red Sea, but it ain't soft like microfiber!

I dunno...I can't help but think I'd be supporting that ****-crack-addict spokesman's **** addiction by buying one of those towels. Something about that guy makes those towels so unappealing.

I bought 3 of the large ones in a giftshop in TN for $8 on the last VCA trip. I haven't used them yet though. Now Scott has me worried! I'll report back once I use them.

He also has other bad habits as well

I've tried it on my ******, and it works fine... no scratches or anything.

...and by ******, I mean my other car

If it has no nap in it you could catch a bit of dirt and _______________________________ oops

I've tried that kinda thing in the past and I was not impressed. They do **** up the water pretty well, but they always streak. Nothing beats a real, natural , lamb skin chamoise.

I've been using the Maguiar microfiber towels, but they are so small. I'd like to find something larger. Also, they get quite dirty from the brake dust on the wheels and much of it isn't coming off in the wash.

 

[Ricketts]

I've heard they absorb great, but show streaks really bad like gb66gth said.

 

[Solid Red 98]

I've tried them and they're so, so. I am so finicky about picking up a bit of grit and causing a scratch, that I stick with the tried and true. Lots of clean towels. Microfiber on all the jewel surfaces (the whole car)
and towels on the wheels and such. I never clean the Viper in a hurry. Shamwows are ok for the kitchen and carpeted floors but little else. Most of the time they just sit in the box they came in out of sight and out of mind.

Or a leaf blower turned on high.

Dig this; I was in Costco last weekend and they had a whole display of Shamwows...in my opinion anything hyped on TV like shamwow is usually a pos.

 

[PatentLaw]

Ok.....I admit that I bought one and was a gag gift. It was for a "Secret Santa" sort of thing, but the deal was that the first person who chose from the pile of gifts must actually open that present in front of everyone. The next person could either pick a new present from the pile or steal the first opened present.

The Shamwow was one of the first presents uncovered and was highly sought after, so people wanted to steal it from one another. After the gifts were all opened, people immediately wanted to see if the dang thing worked.....so off to a kitchen it went.

I can say that they are very very absorbant. I think that the surface can be a little rough, so I would not use it on a car. Keep to a microfiber towel. For around the house, as far as I can tell, the thing would be great at picking up spills, etc.

 

[seabass]

I bought one and used it on my car... don't have much to compare it to but it didn't scratch my surface and didn't streak either. I use a clean bath towel first to get the large amounts of water and then went back over 2-3 times with the Shamwow...

But what about the Ronco Vegamatic and the George Foreman grill?

Bob

 

[dave6666]

If you get both of those in one holiday event just put the Vegamatic in the Foreman grill and let the power of electricity destroy both of them.

Do it outdoors away from the keg for safety.

In his defense, if someone is trying to bite your tongue off, what are you suppose to do? Tickle them until they let go?

 

[NI-KA]

Use a hand held "leaf blower". I even use it to blow grass off the driveway.

 

[mbccenter]

I tried it on a car. JUNK is all I can say

Id stick with MF towels, good ones can be purchased for the same price. On a side note have you ever seen his add for the slap chop, you tube that. The best line is "your gonna love my nuts".

He says that quickly and moves on. You're sittinig there thinking "did he really say that?". My favorite is when he chucks a competitors product over his shoulder and makes a direct shot into the sink behind him.
