If you used the Microfiber Madness Dry Me Crazy, you wouldn't use waffle weaves any more.

I only use my waffle weaves for doorjambs and cleaning glass now.

Made in Germany is good. 1200 GSM is good. 75/25 is not so good. I only use 70/30 polyamide to polyester ratio towels for paint.

Not much to quibble over though. Looks like a good towel.

I would give it a try. Who makes that towel again?

I've tried several towels like this and they don't absorb as well as the waffle weave towels do. Just my experience.

My experience as well.........waffles also spread drying agents better, like aquawax or prima hydro.......

My experience has been the opposite. Waffle weave towels do absorb well, but are thin.
Even the 500 gsm Microfiber Madness Wave Rider waffle weave I have cannot hold near the amount of water the DMC can.

Also with waffle weaves, the potential for causing marring is much greater. Because of the thin pile, if a stray dirt particle comes between the towel and the paint, it has no where to go. With a plush towel, it is pulled away from the surface deep into the fibers away from the paint.

Plush towels dry best when they are slightly damp versus bone dry. I usually mist the drying aid on the towel, which also helps to spread it thin.

I've had my MM DMC for over 2 years now, and it still performs as new.
