[TR] Auto products - sadly not Triumph

[wbeech at flash.net]

My philosophy is that the quality of a product is diminished in directly
inverted proportion to the volume of the pitchman.

This sounds like "The Absorber". In case the link doesn't survive word wrap,
a Google search on "emgee marketing" will give this as one of the top links:

Same color as a hide chamois, but it absorbs a lot more water.  It's stored
wet in a translucent plastic tube that's D shaped.  I first started seeing
them in 1995 when we hosted the VTR Convention in Rockford.

It's made in Japan, with the package design trademarked by Shima American
Corporation.  My package says is was distributed by Emgee(!) Marketing in
Clarendon Hills, IL.

I use them for car washing and boat
cleaning, and I think swimmers and
divers use them as a superabsorbent towel that you can wring out and use
over and over again.

Highly recommended, and I
wouldn't be surprised if Joe included it in UJ's toolkit.
