fellipe- Welcome to Autopia!

I`m far from being the resident expert on rinseless washes, but I see`a few (potential?) `problems with using a synthetic chamois for this:
`
-Mine never got 100% of the water off, maybe close, but they always left a *tiny* bit behind (which I either got off with`something`else or just let evaporate)`and I wouldn`t want to risk that with ONR
-Related to that, IMO the drying with ONR/etc. involves a bit of "buffing" as well as "drying" and a damp Absorber/etc. wouldn`t, IMO, be well-suited to that
-If there`s any residual dirt (that`ll get taken care of during the drying), the lack of nap makes the synthethetic chamois risky with regard to marring
-The synthetic chamois` pores`might "load up" with the polymers/etc. in the ONR, rendering it less effective
`
I don`t even like using a WWMF for such drying, preferring a plush-style (MF) drying towel.
Never, never.....NEVER use a chamois for anything on a car especially when using No Rinse. Only use a chamois on a car that`s going to be fully polished out.
Why?
Cause a chamois is a huge dirt magnet. Once it gets abrasive matter in it good luck getting it out. Get your car wet and lay a microfiber towel down and also a chamois. Notice anything? You`ll see how the chamois sucks down onto the paint making full contact with it. A fabric towel will not do this due to the fiber strands. In short dirt has a place to go in a fabric towel. It has no place to go in a chamois but between your paint and the chamois.

Just get a good waffle weave towel and you will be fine

Heh heh, yeah...you might not get to trot that out all that often, good to take advantage of any opportunities
