I bought this product PURELY on ratings. It paid off this time because this thing is awesome. I wash my cars a lot in the spring and summer, I go through one chamois per season. I normally like the lamb skin ones because I feel they are the most absorbent and don't leave streaks. The old chamois made of cloth start piling over time and lint on the car. Years ago all of the synthetic chamois were so crappy, they weren't that absorbent, they left streaks or smelled bad. This thing is awesome and its big so very absorbent, it holds a lot of water before you have to wring it out. I am very happy with it so far, I've used it for two washes already. Glad i found this.
