Yes, but it's marketed for "anything", even household use. Look for it in the auto section.

around how much do these thingamabobbers cost?

The Absorber

This cost me $20 in Canada (Around 18 US). As you can see, it's not really chamois material, but almost feels like a rubber cloth.

It's like a foam towel...but unlike the foam ones I think you're talking about The Absorber (name brand) doesn't fall apart after a couple of uses. This was actually why I was a bit skeptical when I bought The Absorber, was because I had used the cheap ones, and I knew that those were good for two washes, at best.
