    Im a valeter by trade mate, i use them everyday loads of times and they are fantastic if you buy the right one.

    Theres also a way of using it, i know its not rocket science but it helps.

    I've got one of those things not sure about the brand though, I bought mine from Costco, I think it's excellent, gets most of the water off really quickly, then it only takes a minute to finish with a chammy leather.

    I've got a few of them and gave one to all my friends (hooorah for Costco ). They are ace, but you still need a leather to finish it off with.

    ok ok its not so bad, not quite the miracle tool that the advert suggests but ok i suppose, i have a shammy, but my nipple of a father thought it would be clever to wipe down his freshly painted boat with it , and now its crusty.............. and yellow
