I have used this for 10+ years to dry my car after washing, as well as a few other spills.  I just bought another one, because my other one that I have been using for over 10 years disappeared.  When you are done using it, just wring it out and put it back in the plastic tube damp and it is ready to go for the next time.  Works much much better than a real chamois.  Made in Japan (not China!)
