I finally got a chance to try HD Speed. Does it normally have a mild dust as your working it? I only applied a few drops each time I did a section. I thought it was caused by my new Rupes pads but after washing them I still had a mild dust on the car as I went to panels not yet polished. Car...

We were given my mother's car yesterday for my son. 2000 Olds Intrigue She previously had a parking lot bump while someone backed into her and had paint transfer on the plastic bumper. I tried my rotary with an lc orange 3" pad and some propolish2. It removed some but I was afraid of doing some...

Here is my video of a permanent solution for a free spinning backing plate on your Bigfoot Rupes 15 or 21. Your KB washer can be discarded to allow full backing plate engagement to the arbor, preventing backing plate failure or damage. I know others have done this particular mod different ways...

My 16yo son made a suggestion to me I kinda laughed about. But it does make sense. I'm dying to try it but don't have a extra wacker to try it on. This might help those that have a boat, large RV or do tractor trailers. Not sure if a straight shaft or curved would work better.. If it works at...

LSP POORBOYS EX SEALANT The shirt won't fit me either, but what size shirt fits on a bucket seat? Hmmm

I'll be receiving my 21 tomorrow. I have the Rupes 15, Mini, 3401 and a Makita rotary. Without explaining the pros and cons, I'm looking for which you would keep if you had to unload either the 3401 or 21. I think I have an idea what will win but want some votes. Just a reply of which one of...

I'm going to have 5 polishers now. Has anyone come up with a better option than putting them in toolbags. I do all my detailing in my garage but don't want them getting banged up either. Photos?

Just wondering if Ray ever thought of discounting particular pricey items if we get enough ACTIVE forum members and purchased at least 10 or even 20 items/polishers at once. (or what Ray decides) I know we can't discount the Rupes but maybe the Boss 21 or whatever people want at a much greater...

This is from using Poorboys Chrome Polish and wiping the grill weekly with Spray and Gloss. https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0Bzi7TIColVgBclc4QzVkLTJJeTg/edit

Used Poorboys Pro Polish 2 then finished with Pro Polish. I probably didn't need to do the second step but it did look like it improved clarity. Using a Rupes mini and Rupes yellow pad. Just a few passes. Then coated with some Ultimate Wax. Forgot to take the finished look of both...

Ive been adding those Rock Auto magnets for a while. With nothing else to do .. Raining all day...I finally realized where to put my stickers and new Poorboys plate. (NJ has a front one so I couldn't put it on my car). Also found a nice home for the Poorboys banner...

I currently own some LC 4" flat pads that I used a few times on my mini. They seem a bit too large for the backing plate. Before I close a deal with Autopia , I was wondering what else fits well with it's 3" backing plate. Other than the Rupes 4" pads. Which I'm going with if that's the...

Anyone in the Forum local to Woodbury NJ area? I was looking for some help with either my technique or if I should just throw the towel in on this 98 White Merc. I might be being too careful. It's so hard to see swirls while working on it. I tried PB Master Cut (L C white)on the tops... 5...

My 02 Ford Explorer has gray fender flares which really look bleached out from age. I found Poorboys Trim Restore to be the best I've ever used for old trim so far. I hadn't applied it over the winter so my spring detail required two coats. (Second coat on next day). I have tried : Turtle wax...

Had my neighbor try to help repair my 18 year old gas pressure washer...may it R.I.P. So I picked up a nice electric Ryobi at Home Depot. $109 Ryobi 1600-PSI 1.2-GPM Electric Pressure Washer-RY141600 - The Home Depot My MTM foam lance connected right up to it. Added a 30' hose to it and its...

Just a few questions: I usually use warm water in a bucket until Spring. In the spring / summer does everyone use hose temp water in a bucket? It did seem warmer water might be a better choice but not always fun walking through the house to get it. Do you normally go on the heavier side of...
