Have any of you seen the commercials for this sponge for auto washing?
I was like, huh.
You get 8 washes out of it, it holds in soap and waxes at the same time.
I thought it was funny.

Can't seem to find the commercial.
They have one of these for dogs too.

I'm curious if the shamwow works. It looks like a scam to me.

"It's made by the Germans, so you know it's good."

Excerpt from the very funny commercial.

x2. But, if you watch Olympic swimmers, they really do just half-heartedly wipe themselves off with something like looks like shamwow.

Let us know if it works or not.

I was reading PopSci (or is it PopMech?) and they had classified ShamWow as a marginal performer. Use at own risk and realize that the thing will not last too long at all.

WELL, I tried it this morning just cause, and a roughly 30 cm x 30 cm sheet when folded in half 3 times would absorb exactly 3/4 of a cup of water when dry. After I rang it out, it would consistently absorb exactly 1/2 cup of water.

And that is one of the small sheets.

It's not OMGAMAZING!! but it doesn't seem too bad.
