the absorber® Large 27-Inch x 17-Inch, Aqua - Synthetic Premium Drying Chamois Cloth for Car - Super Absorbent, Scratch-Free and Washable

I have been using this product for several years. The first order was a medium blue color. This order was a light blue. Apparently, they no longer have the darker blue. I cut the Absorber into smaller sizes and keep them in plastic jars in a lot of areas of my house. The best use is in the kitchen. I keep the cut absorber in the plastic jar and use it to clean around the kitchen. A really great use for this product is because it stays damp in the plastic jars, I use them for cleaning my stamps for my card making. Some time after I started using these for that purpose, a company came out with what they called a stamp shammy and charges over $6 each. I pay less than $1.50 for each (since I cut them into a smaller size). I highly recommend this item!

This towel is amazing. I bought one of these 10 years ago when I bought my Lexus, and I used it to dry the car off many times. Then for some reason I stopped using it a few years ago and left it in the case in the trunk. It dried up like a piece of old cardboard, stiff and useless looking. Then I soaked it in warm water and washed it out and wrung out all the water and LIKE NEW!!!! Never rotted or got smelly. In fact, the next thing I did was put it in my gym bag and use it for a shower towel right away. Not as soft and warm as cotton, but takes NO space in my bag, and I can wring it out almost totally dry and put it right back in the tube for next time. No more gym towels in the laundry, no more remembering to take a clean towel, and my bag just got bigger!So all I have done since then is buy new ones in every size and put my old one back in the car. The 29x18 is a little easier to handle as a gym towel, but it still fits in the tube made for the 27x17, which is great. I consider it the luxury version of a somewhat spartan application for this marvelous piece of towel technology.The way this cleans up and stores (a ziploc works fine, too, for a tighter space) is almost too good to be true, but it's real.

Bought one of these in the auto store and have used it as a diving/swim/camp towel for years. It is particularly nice to sit on with a wet swim suit as it will absorb all the water in a few minutes allowing you to get dressed without your pants getting soaked. Mine has traveled all over the world, been in chlorinated pools, salt water, and used after a shower while camping. It has gotten sandy, grimy from boat grease, completely dried out, and come clean in the washer. It still works!After 10 years, I've demoted the old one to a dog towel and purchased a new one for myself. Mostly because I don't want dog hair on my towel.Save the tube to keep it from drying out entirely. If it does, throw it into water and wait 3 minutes for rehydration before trying to unfold it. You can cut large towels into smaller ones if you like.

Plenty large for drying a car. Removes water easily. Preserves shine.

This towel absorbs like no ones business, but doesn’t glide as well as I would want. It sticks to the metal and glass of a car vs being able to absorb and glide smoothly over. Kind of expensive for my taste, but it does the job well.

A family member recommended this product. I thought I would give it a try but I have to tell you I didn’t think this was going to work as well as he said it did. I was wrong! It actually works better than he said it did. Absolute maximum absorbency. Simple and easy to use. And not coarse to the point where it damages my car.

Remember Sham-Wow? This blows it away. Sucks up water like there is no tomorrow. Machine wash and air dry with no softner. You can store it wet or dry. If dry, simply run water over it and squeeze it out. Best chamois ever!

this towel really has an impressive absorbency, but some things must be taken into account, first is the fact that you can keep it there while it is still damp, this over time generates mold and when it is too dry it becomes very rigid so it is impossible to put it inside from your box, for us it wasn't a bad experience but maybe we won't buy again
