Seems like it was working good when I bought it, but now I don't like it.  I have had it for almost a year. Does not dry my cars very well, leaves them wet.  I have never found a good substitute to the real chamois.  See the before and after pictures, and that's because my vehicle was not even that wet.  I don't know of it's because of the humid climate I live in, but I never had a problem with the real chamois.  I agree with another reviewer that's it's more like a sponge.
