Which product do you still use by Chemical Guys?

I dunno Eldo, I'm going the other direction, I recently bought some of the AutoFiber 8 x 8 glass towels, I figure you wet the one side, wipe the glass, flip it to dry, maybe do the other half (of the windshield), then go to a new towel. No folding, no scrunching, no trying to remember how many times or which way you folded it...of course that may just be a problem for me.
 
I realised today I also have the small red waffle weave glass towel, but I keep that in the FJ. It's used on the interior glass only, I don't want to contaminate it with outside crud. In saying that, on the back windows it's mainly removing dog nose prints.

I don’t like going through a bunch of towels.

Plus the fold is very easy. It has 8 clean sides like a normal microfiber towel does, then you can flip it over for 8 more clean sides if you need to. I’ve rarely had to stretch it that far unless I’m in a situation where I forgot to do laundry or I’ve allowed those towels to sit outside on my cart overnight.

Then you need a water based dressing like Meguiars Hyper Dressing.

Don't live there anymore but I did get some of that actually for my wheel liners. City life and low mileage, may never need to do it again all year I imagine. I know it's been around forever but it's new to me.

I like some of their products. Some are garbage (Diablo Gel wheel cleaner)

I regularly use:

Fabric Clean
Lightning Stain Extractor
Nonsense Interior Cleaner for my "No chemical " customers
Honeydew Snow Foam
Mr Pink, Mr Gold
Signature Scent (for my own vehicle)

For the price (these are some of their cheaper products) I think these are quality products.

You're clearly a better folder than me.

I agree though, it bugs me too when I lose track of which side I’ve used vs. which side is clean. Happens quite often actually.

Number the corners (1-2-3-4) You will have 2 sides to each number.

I just grab a clean towel when in doubt. I estimate that I have 50 glass towels, probably 150 drying towels (bought by the case wholesale from TRC), 60 polish removal towels, 30 rinseless wash towels, etc. but I do big events like car shows and festivals where we set up a detail shop in the parking lot and do 150 cars in a weekend.

How many towels do you guys have?

I've probably got somewhere between 50 and 70. Some are still brand new, as I recently bought a cheap bulk pack, but the rest are at varying stages in their life spans. Some are what I call the good ones, others are ok, and don't cost as much, and some seem to be rubbish, regardless of the cost.

I also have some 8x8 lint free cloths that are good for glass, I wouldn't use them on paint. I have probably a few thousand of them, they come in both 800 and 400 packs, they were being thrown out a few years ago where I was working and I grabbed as many as I could. These are basically single use.
