will it have me saying WOW every time???
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.

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

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.

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.
