You can totally see the switch out when the sales guy on the commercial pours the soda on the white rug... there was way more soda than what they went back to..lol

I've had an absorber for probably 12 years now, still works great. If it get too many black steaks on it from the rubber window moldings I just wash it, rinse it really well and stick it back in the tube. I tried the California water blade and it made noise that sounded like dragging your fingernails down a chalkboard, I was so scared it would screw up the paint so I brought it back. I also bought one of the newer towels in the tube called "Aqua-dry" and it's pretty good, I couldn't find my absorber at the time...Has anyone tried the Mr Clean spotless car wash thingy with the filter in it? Does it really work?

The water softener "filter" works... The soap, not so much...

Don't laugh at this product, it's had a sad ending.
Vince Argee, the ShamWow inventor was killed by an accidental gunshot wound on Jan. 28.
They did a feature on it on NPR TV in Canada, hav'nt seen it elswhere yet.
Someone posted it on you Tube. He leaves behind a Fiancee and 1 son from a previous marriage....

Chamois drag dirt across your cars finish and will scratch the surface .

That was funny!!! That guy needs to lay off the caffeine!!!

I didn't even know about that product..........

yarisugi · 01-31-2009, 11:30 PM

The Absorber is my bathtowel for those hard-to-reach areas.
But seriously, it's a fantastic "chamois" if you can call it that.

I just saw the ChamWow guy at the CycleWorld Cleveland bike show. What a tool.
