No, it does not. Well I mean it works like a very very thing chamois cloth but does nothing at all like the commercial. I’d just grab a decent chamois from Advanced Auto because they are superior in every way. ---

just buy a chamois for $5. You have a lot of kids and with the economy failing, I would hate to see you spend $30 unnecessarily on garbage. ---

i bought one of those things at the toronto auto show about 4 years ago, they were selling 4 of the larger yellow ones and 2 blues for $20, so me and a friend split that. we each used them once and agreed they sucked. good for just spot soaking up water, but not for wiping down. ---

we used to get a set of the same thing as the shamwow at the fair every couple years for the same $20… they’re swell, but not a complete replacement for paper towels. it’s more of a nice dish rag that absorbs worth a shit than the end all be all.
