I bought one of these a year or two ago and would not suggest using it on you car, they are quite abrasive. As far as a product that lifts lots of liquid, they are brilliant and I would happily buy more.

I did a read up on the snuggie. Apparently there are 4 versions of it.
Snuggie is the 4th version.
4 different people made the same concept, but marketed a different way.

The original was ok, the second version was good, thick and priced a little high, 3rd was too high priced for quality, and the snuggie is a lame version of them all, being the thinnest and not quailty for the $.

So the Yank's think we are dumb and stupid to buy a crappy product, that makes you look like a monk come druid at a sports day...
Yeah, rather freeze me balls off than wear a snuggie!
