And WHY hasn't AMN come back to this thread????? Is she laughing at all of us while we ponder the wonders of the ShamWow?

I have read on the "review" sites, that Zorbees shred up in the wash like felt.
The ShamWows would need to be squeezed out some I would guess and dried carefully. I tweeked the bottom of the box open at Bed/Bath and felt them. They are rough/dry/hard and felty feeling (but not soft like felt) They are some kind of compressed fiber...not woven. I don't see them lasting 10 years...that is a pretty lame claim IMO. I have also read that if not used exactly a certain way, they push the liquid around and absorb NOTHING.
Some guys on those review sites say that microfiber towels you can get at auto parts stores for washing cars are superior.
So I bought a towel instead and used it last season. It worked very well, and dried very quickly for boat issues.
