Adam!s H2O Guard and Gloss question

Is it okay to use Guard and Gloss with a chamois?

The word 'chamois' makes me shudder. I would just use a nice, plush, microfiber towel.

No, use a plush microfiber. The rag company Everest 800 or 1100 will work, and are the best price I've found on plush towels. I like the 1100 better, but the 800 will work.

It is best to just lose the word "chamois" from your vocabulary when it comes to detailing. Get yourself a nice waffle weave towel from Adams Polishes or Microfiber Madness. Not only is it much safer to use, but you will find your drying time will be much faster which it turn reduces the chances for water spots. Its a win-win all around.

No, Please don't use a chamois at all not even for drying it will scratch your paint.
You want to use a good quality Micro fiber towel like our Single Soft or Double soft.
And for drying our Great White Drying Towel.
Thanks for using our goods!

Definitely do not use a chamois. It will be worth your while to invest a few bucks in some quality (with emphasis on quality) microfiber towels.
