Re: The most over-rated products?
I just got a Cobra "Guzzler" 20 X 40 and a Cobra glass towel. Given the hype and their high cost, I'm not impressed. I have a some old glass and drying towels that appear to be just as good, and some new towels that are better or the same quality at a lower price.
Most recently, I bought PakShak drying and glass WW towels. The PakShak 24x36 drying towel is at least as thick and soft as the Guzzler and is currently on sale for $14.50. Even at the original price of $17.95, the PakShak towel is a better deal than the $19.99 Guzzler.
The Cobra glass towel is significantly lower quality than the PakShak glass towel (which is made of the same fabric as their drying towel).
I recently bought several "Chinchilla" towels, which I don't particularly like and are very pricey. They are very soft and plush, but are difficult to control. I.e. too soft and mushy. I have some other towels like the rolled edge towels from AutoGeek/Autopia: http://www.autogeek.net/super-soft-microfiber-towels.html and some PakShak ultra plush towels MICROPAK 16" x 24" Ultra-Plush Micro Fiber Towel which I like much better. The PakShak towel ultra-plush are especially nice - extremely soft.
Regards,
Dan .
p.s. All of my towels have been been washed before use.

It almost gives me a fuzzy feeling to have Corey's dad agree with my assessment

I have two of the miracle towels. They're basically a larger version of the 16x16 super towel with the dual pile weave. I think they do a fine job at drying especially for rinseless washing. I only need one of them to fully dry my car when using ONR. For the shipped price being about $15 cheaper than cobra "drying" towels they're certainly worth it.

Re: The most over-rated products?
Not exactly, I've done it with a standard wash before too. I would say it was a little too loaded to fully finish the car so that's why I have the second one. If you're doing a truck or SUV you'll need two for sure.

I agree with you on DP wheel glaze. I may just throw away my 95% full tub of DP wheel glaze.
