Modern Vespa

Just finished washing my scoot and the fake chamois that I use is crap.

I remember seeing the ShamWow at a local store (Canadiantire) for 19$.
Humm think I'm going to buy it tomorrow.

So who uses the ShamWow to clean their scoot?

For some strange reason I love infomercials. I have the Miracle blade 3 and I love it!

Mate, I am a consumer monkey........I have two

But they are GREAT! And you will use it for any spill around your house too. Sucks up and retains water nae bother.

Cheers

I knew they would be good, they are made in Germany after all

I use them to dry the scoot. Works pretty damn good.

love it!

Works good.

And the name reminds me of "Wooly Bully."

From the King of the Infomercial to his adoring fans--

God bless Billy Mays......... But believe it or not he did not sell the shamwow.

I always like the color (Incorrect spelling) of his shirts.

Cheers

he had another chamois type product he sold a while back. That was ages ago.

Dude who does Sham-Wow is that Slap/Chop guy.

marketing guy here...

Vince Offer sells the shamwows, Billy Mays sold Zorbeez same crap though. Good to know they actually work though.

shamwow is a great thing to have around when you feel the urge to punch a hooker after she nearly bites your tongue off.

If I recall...didn't Billy Mayes pitch a mop with the shamwow fabric...it was a twist and dry action...will miss him.

Per OP...wife picked up shamwow...but I prefer the "absorber...it comes in a cylider tube...you use it like a chamois...then wring it as best as you can roll it up and slip it into the cylinder for storage...cap it off...you actually store it damp. There a relief hole in the bottom of the cylinder that allow enough air flow to keep it damp and no mildew build up. "Made in Japan...you know the Japanese they make good stuff..."

Whatever you use to squeege your scoot, the Shamwow / Slapchop pitch was hard to resist. The bloke was making a living.

This is, hands down, the best version:

If you Google Shamwow, you will stumble on testimonials from those who rave about it, and those who rant about it.

It is amazing how many people do not understand how a chamois, real or imitation, actually works. They will not sop up anything if used dry. They must be thoroughly soaked in water and then wrung out to be slightly damp. Then they will absorb water. The complaints are mostly from people who tried to use them dry.

exactly. vince shlomi the shamwow guy beat the crap out of a hooker in a south beach hotel after she would not let go of his tongue with her teeth. "are you getting this, camera guy?"

I agree with poster, TB, above; I prefer the Absorber...available at Wallyworld. I use the Shamwow to pick up spills around the house works great for that purpose, but for drying a scooter and or cage, the absorber is the best!

NVScoot'n

I use a 3 pack of micro fiber towels from Target. They cost $3, dry the scoot and don't financially support the lying hooker slapper.

The best product by far:

That shamwow guy has always given me the creeps

Sad. Just sad.

Back on topic: microfiber and old cotton towels.

God how i love photoshop

No one's as creepy as this guy:

ASTROMAGS i forgot about him I think they have a weird clause in the infomercial pitch people. The weirder you are the more they want you

So sorry to have confused dear Billy Mays (Mr. Oxiclean) with that world-class loser Vince Shlomi [stage name "Vince Offer"]. Here's an excerpt from his Wikipedia entry :

In 1999 as a writer, director and actor, Offer released the The Underground Comedy Movie to scathing reviews. The New York Post said it "may be the least amusing comedy ever made," and Lawrence Van Gelder of The New York Times described the movie as "a series of sketches built around subjects like masturbation, defecation, alienation, urination, necrophilia, voyeurism, casual brutality, and mockery of the unfortunate." He added that Offer "makes the common mistake of equating the recognition of comic potential for comedy itself. For the successful, talent bridges the gap, but, here, it is absent."[4] DVDs of the film were marketed via television infomercial....


In 2004, Offer, an ex-Scientologist, sued the Church of Scientology with the help of attorney Ford Greene. He alleged that the church had declared him a criminal and had urged its members to commit libel against him. Offer claimed that the church's actions caused him to lose a successful business, as many of his employees were Scientologists who quit upon learning of what the church did.[8]

wouldn't it be easier, and cheaper, to keep the zipper done up?

I use one with alcohol to clean the bug residue from my faceshield. They work great!
