Did you get the Booty pop in the deal?....:tehe:

Maybe for washing the car.....but waxing it......I don't know...unless the wax is recommended to be applied wet.....but I wouldn't buff the wax off with it......JMO

Todd, I hope they threw the slapchop in the deal as well. Just kidding bud I've never tried it but I would be a bit leery on using it on my car.

OK buddy boy, you`re in luck----ol` Cobe got one a couple years ago. At least the Cndn Tire version of it. They were giving them away when you bought some rubbing compound----does that tell you what it`s worth? If you wanna take a little drive it`s right here pal---it`s worthless, leaves streaks all over. You gotta get it wet for it to work at absorbing water-----WHAT? Still nothing better than a good chamois.


Hey BTW---I gotta chunk of the London Bridge in my back yard---make me an offer....LOL

its a synthetic chamois, and like the real mccoy it needs to be moist for it to work..These things should never be washed with soap, same goes for a chamois..
As for waxing, stick to a moist sponge for natural wax aplication and old terrycloth ( towels ) for removing the wax..
I like cobra use real chamoix , hand rinse them and let thm air dry after.. One lasts me for years and no streaking.. Trick is to never use soap on them and if you do it has to be rinsed many many many times...

Thanx for the opinions..Well i guess thats why i got about 8sqr yards of this stuff for 4 bucks..And by the way the slapchop is crap as well..You have to smack that thing so hard to cut anything it bruises the palms of your hand.Thanx again..Cheers..

my guess is you may have to wash that scam wow before you use it, it is probably is loaded with residual chemicals..

Hey Todd----you can use your wife`s bathrobe to get the excess water off the car then go over it with the chamois to get rid of the streaks. I know you too own black, it works great on black and the bathrobe won`t scratch the waxed surface. I used it for yrs---then she got laid off......then she got a divorce LMAO

The shamwow is great. It soaks up spills off the rugs with ease. I like using it on the car and bike. The blue ones are nice on glass.
But be warned if you decide to wash them in your machine..keep a close eye on it. I turned my back and the washing machine was smoking and making a weird sound. Open the door to find the shamowow to be swelled up the size of a pillow and know water left in the machine LMAO

Todd I have to agree with Cobra here bud,the real chamois is the way to go,I also bought one at Can Tire and made about 2 swipe on the truck to pick up the water and it sucks,but it sounds the price was right,maybe the next time the pool breaks you can use it there....loll

I use Sham Wow's for dish cloths and they're fantastic. best I've ever used and what I do is cut them into 4 even pieces and you have 4 dish cloths and they seem to last forever ...... just my 2 cents on the famous Sham Wow:yes:

My kids gave the amazing "Shamwow" for Christmas. Yup, they suck up water, but not for your car. Get a real Chamois. As for the Slap Chop, great marketing. lol
