0:07 you're on it's official ncix sells
0:10 shamwow now one of my co-workers bought one and so i figured what the hey let's
0:15 do an unboxing of the shamwow so you'll
0:18 say wow every time according to vince uh the guy with the criminal record now
0:23 because of the incident in vegas but
0:26 don't let that take away from his credibility okay so check
0:30 actually you know what i'm gonna go off camera i'm gonna ask my co-worker why he
0:33 bought this so he claims that he bought it because
0:37 apparently they're good for cleaning your bike so there you go okay let's
0:40 let's open up the box clean spills fast machine washable lasts for years clean
0:45 more and work less these are super absorbent towels as seen on tv they're
0:49 made in germany all right um
0:53 shamwow is a towel chamois and sponge all in one you can use it over and over
0:57 wash dry and polish machine washable bleachable and will last for years okay
1:02 so that's pretty much the same thing that it said before home car spills pet
1:05 stains bathrooms and more and the directions okay directions are really
1:09 important so directions use on everything
1:12 for best results wash or wet the shamwow towel before using
1:18 something about vinegar pet stains use white vinegar to
1:22 eliminate the smell okay care instructions let's open it up okay finally finally
1:26 rope we're opening up the shamwow so this is an eight pack of shamwows you
1:30 actually get oh you know what we should be we should
1:34 be doing like the ding sound effect and then i'm just i should just be gesturing
1:38 as they all appear on the table so you actually get
1:43 four mini sham wows okay there finally there's another one you get more
1:47 instructions about how it clean spills fast and
1:50 four full sized chamois so the full-size
1:54 ones are about this big so i'm going to
1:57 do some testing here so my first benchmark will be an
2:01 absorbency benchmark so we're going to just go ahead and fill up the brand new
2:07 chamois with as much water as we can and
2:11 then we're going to see how much water it holds now they claim no drips but i'm
2:16 not entirely convinced that is accurate on account of
2:21 okay hold on a second that's not bad it's not dripping anymore
2:26 but if i put it in my hand then it starts to drip so okay so now we've
2:30 we've discovered something about the chamois that we perhaps didn't know
2:33 before now now we'll do we'll do the old bring it out water test so let's see how
2:37 much water comes out of it oh check this out it's green water so
2:42 we're getting a little bit of the dye from the uh from the chamois coming out
2:46 with the water so check this out you got to look in the sink to see the green
2:49 water here oh yeah green water very nice okay okay
2:53 so now now let's see how useful it's gonna be for cleaning my co-workers bike
2:56 here so this is uh this is my co-worker's
3:00 bike it's a lot nicer than my bike as you can clearly see here come on come on
3:04 he's he's the one holding the camera today so why don't you do do some do some do some
3:08 you know show off show off shots here of your bike and i'll i'll try not to bump
3:13 it too hard you know because i cuz i'm not jealous or anything so so this is
3:17 what he's intending to do with it
