I know Adams' really dispurses the water when sprayed on, does the ONR do the same?
Not as much, but some. If you're sheeting like you should, that effect isn't really necessary. The DS is really functioning as a lube while towel drying, and also neutralizes water spotting.

If you want something to clean your MF towels and leave them clean with no residue use Charlies Soap. Hands down the best out there IMO.

If you want to do a little test, wash ten MF towels in your favorite soap and then ten with Charlies Soap and then fold them up and stack them side by side, the CS will be taller and feel way softer.

Last question I promise (for today)

I have been using some Chemical Guys washes, and like them, If you were to choose a Quick Detailer from them, which do you think is the best for my purposes?

Thanks a million for your time and advice.

Jim

CG Speed Wipe is a good detail spray, compares to Adams.

My experience with the Dry Me Crazy Microfiber Madness towel?....It will dry at least 3 cars after a sheet rinse, and a blow off with a compressor.

I wash my car...then do a sheet rinse...then use a compressor blow gun at 100 psi for all body lines and such (lights, side markers, tags, etc, etc).

I was using a waffle towel prior to getting the MM Dry Me Crazy; and I will say the waffle weave towel worked well...but the Dry Me Crazy towel blows a waffle towel away...

Still a huge Guzzler fan. Not only is it the most absorbent waffle-style towel I have ever used, but most importantly, it has the most durability of any drying towel as well.

There are plenty of good drying towels that will absorb water when they are new, but how well are they doing after 20-30 washes? after they have been washed 3-4 times? I have tested just about every drying towel out there, and I am confident that the Guzzler will maintain its original levels of absorption far longer.

I've washed my DMC that much at least. Still working great.

The guzzler was a great towel, but obsolete now. That's like saying you have the best candle when others are using electric lamps.

Of course, you sell the Guzzler, so I'm sure that helps your public recommendation

Drying technique

Question on the synthetic dry me crazy towel. I like the terry cloth because you can just lay the towel on the vehicle and just kinda dab. No wiping required. Does the dry me crazy work the same way? Or do you have to rub the vehicle dry? Thank you.
