Perhaps it should be educating the less educated? Anyway, I post regularly in the detailing sections of a few Mustang forums. I really enjoy helping the young guys learn, & I'm always learning things for myself too. I love spreading the "Poorboy's Gospel" & turning guys on to Poorboy's products...

Lost another of the greats today.

Pics aren't too good because it's a white vehicle & it was overcast here today. 1st detail on the car with only 3400 miles on it, so it was pretty easy. Only prob was he had a LeBra on it, & there were a few spots where the crud had ground into the paint. I had to polish them out. I tried a...

I'm doing a red 92 Mustang that seems to be mostly original paint. I'm using SSR 2.5 with an orange pad for the swirls, & they're pretty stubborn. Just wondering how much different 3.0 would be?

Since I forgot I had a bottle of White Diamond on the way when I detailed the new Mustang last week :wall I thought I'd try it out on the wife's Expedition. I clayed it, started to polish with Pro Polish but decided it didn't really need it. Went directly to White Diamond, then a coat of EX...

Picked up this 2010 Mustang GT yesterday. (Sorry for the dark pics) Anyway, I clayed it, polished with Pro Polish, & gave it 1 coat of EX-P. Then this afternoon I applied a coat of Natty's White. Thinking about a coat of Red. Has anyone layered Red over White on a white car?

I get people stopping me all the time asking how I make my cars shine so well. I've been a shining cars for shows ever since I was a teenager using DuPont Rain Dance, so I've found out what techniques work for me. But I wonder what the percentage is: 50% product, 50% technique? 60-40? What does...

I wish I'd taken some before pics, because this car had a TON of swirls & scratches. The previous owner apparently loved scratch machine car washes! After claying I went right to SSR 2.5 with orange pad & did the entire car. Had to really concentrate on some of the scratches on the doors &...

The owner usually details it himself & uses clay. Easiest car I've ever clayed. (besides my own!) Had to hand rub a lot of small scratches with SSR 2.5. Polished with Pro Polish, then a coat of Black Hole, then finished off with a coat of Ex. Told him to order some Natty's Red &/or Blue so he...

Went to the Mecum Muscle Car Auction yesterday here in Indy, & DFT had a booth set up. Anyone know anything about their stuff?

I bought the car last July, & the dealership had put Ziebart's Diamond Gloss on it. The treatment came with a 1 year warranty, & I was really impressed with the finish, so I didn't remove it. After looking at it this morning & seeing some swirls & other marring, it was time for a detail. I...

A friend of mine asked me tonight how to get water spots off of his windshield. I recommended clay, but he said he'd already tried that. I've never had spots on glass bad enough that clay wouldn't work, so I'm wondering if he he's got acid rain spots? He says the paint has acid rain spots. I've...

I should've taken some pics before I started, because the truck was really hazy. Came out pretty good, although the hood & roof are starting to show their age a bit. There are some spots that I assume are acid rain because I couldn't get them out with SSR 1 & an orange pad. Anyway, clayed it...

I've been using EX & EX-P topped off w/Natty's for a few years now, & loving the results. My question is this: since my cars live in the garage & only come out on nice weather days, what would happen if I skipped using sealant? I know that sealants last longer. Would the only problem be that I'd...

Looking forward to trying it out. I usually use Blue on my 2 red & black Mustangs, & white on my wife's white Expedition. I've noticed how people on here use a couple of coats of Blue, then top off with Red. I'm wondering whether to try that, or just go with Red by itself? I have a feeling the...

So I'm at the Friday night cruise-in this evening & I hear some guys complaining about the hood scoop on the 2010 Shelby GT 500. Evidently it lets water pour on the engine when it goes through a car wash. I'm thinking to myself "through a CAR WASH????" I won't even take my little beater work car...

Just sunk $1200 into these Ford Racing chrome Bullitts, & I want to make sure I keep them free of swirls. The car is garaged & not driven in rain, but the wheels get the usual brake dust & other road crap. Is it safe to spray a little QD on them & wipe down with MF, or should I wash them with...

A friend of mine has a green 2008 Bullitt Mustang, & we detailed it this evening. I know the history of the car. It sat outside at the dealership for around 6 months, but he keeps it garaged so I knew it wouldn't be too much of a challenge. We clayed it, then took the PC & polished it with Pro...

Pictures by mwcate - Photobucket Just picked it up yesterday. Only problem is the dealer had Ziebart put their Diamond Gloss treatment on it. All I know about DG is what little I've read about it online, which is mostly good. As a believer in Poorboy's I'm itching to clay it off & hit it with...

Finally broke down & ordered a bottle of Black Hole, & I'm really glad I did. I recently purchased the Mach, so it was my 1st complete detail with it. The Super Coupe has always looked good since I started using Poorboy's products about 4 years ago. I think the Black Hole just took it to...
