0 Rich Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 They look intriguing, but not sure how well they work. I like Adam's drying towels. They're absorbant and wring out real well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bill-V8V Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I can dry my Silverado CC with a single Adam's waffle weave towel. I wouldn't trust anything from an infomercial on my paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 rwisejr Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Leave the Scam WoW right where they are They are not in the same league as the Adam's towels At best I would use them to dry my wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Nitelord Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 We have a Scamwow at work. It's used for cleaning the bathrooms. Once the tile floor is mopped, the janitor drys the floor with it to avoid any crash and sue situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Elite Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Trust me, they are "sham BS" I bought them to see how they work and they are total garbage. They work good after using ADAM'S CARPET AND UPHOLSTERY cleaner and a brush to break up a cat puke stain on the carpet or a baby formula spill on the rear floor mat in the wife's Hummer. I would not trust them on a car's finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Marylander Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I believe "sham" is the key adjective here... In all honestly I've never tried them but I've got to think that if they were any good you'd see them being sold in legitimate places, not just on late night TV.

0 CRQuarto Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I've felt one, it has a rough feeling to the material in my opinion. I wouldn't trust it with my paint, keep it for home cleaning though they look like they would work great for mopping the kitchen/bathroom or cleaning up spilled juice on a hardwood floor or something....

Compared to using three towels, this sounds pretty good. Does anyone know if these are OK on the finish and/or paint? Too good to be true. In my honest opinion, they stink on cars, although they are good to soak up spills in kitchen or basement. The Adams waffle drying towels are the best I ever tried on cars, period.

0 IMADreamer Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 A friend of mine bought some of those and I won't lie when he finished drying his car we said "WOW" as in "WOW look at those swirl marks". I would not recommend these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bill-V8V Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 But they are great for drying a dog when they come in out of the rain :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 fisherman Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I use them for the dirty stuff like cleaning the mud and grime from the wheels and fender wells after wheeling. They do an excellent job for that. They are good re-usable absorbent paper towels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ject Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I've bought one to try it out and let me tell you... It is horrible on hard surfaces. It will absorb to a degree... Its like trying to dry something with a damp rag/towel... doesn't do well at all. Tried it on my daily driver the first day I had it.. and wow.. it left some massive swirl marks and it seemed to just smear the wet/water around.
