    Dwight D to hit Tejas

    A little joke on the hurricane which is no joke. Hope all that are along the Texas and Louisiana coasts are taking precautions. Everyone stay safe.

    Clear Bra Removal

    I searched the past postings and can not find any info on removal of a clear bra. I picked up a used 2001 Acura MDX that has a clear bra installed. It is in sad shape as far as haze and slight discoloration. Is there a procedure to remove one at home or is it easier to bring it to a shop...

    Redoing certain areas to correct paint

    Here's a kind of general question. Is there any product issues if you polish a small section of the body to correct? I found an area on the rear quarter panel of my car with light scratches that was really bugging me. I decided to repolish that area and then apply the glaze, sealant and wax...

    Thank for the Birthday Gift

    Thanks to Poorboys for the great birthday gift. I ordered some supplies including the new Natty's Red (which I used today). When I received my order, there were a nice Ultraplush microfibre towel and a microfibre mitt. Both said Happy B-Day on them. It really put a big smile on my face...

    Suds feel different with SS & Wax

    Today I got the chance to use the Super Slick & Wax car shampoo. The suds felt different from just Super Slick. Still had the slickness that I like, yet the suds felt, hmmm, lighter. Don't laugh. The car came out nice and it was everything I have come to expect from Poorboys. Has anyone...

    Help with Pricing

    I detailed my mom's car the other day and the neighbor came over to ask about her car. She has a late model Cadillac Sedan Deville that is a cream color. It has high mileage yet looks decent paint wise. I ran down the process for my mom's car; wash, clay, AIO, polish, sealant, glaze and wax...

    Problem with LC Pads

    Don't know if it is me or the way I am using or cleaning the pads, but I have had several that the velcro piece detaches from the pad. This has happened a couple of times with two orange and one white pad during the middle of a detail. These are pads that have only been used maybe six times...

    White Paint Suggestions

    Over Mother's Day, I detailed my mom's 1981 Mercedes 380 SL which is a dark brown. While doing this, their neighbor, who has a white mid 80s Mercedes 450 SL came by to see what I was doing. Ended up giving a demo of how clay works (my dad was amazed at what it would take out) and discussed the...

    Groits PC - Which one do they sell?

    A couple of years ago I got the Groits PC for Christmas. I keep seeing the different types mentioned but have wondered which one they sell. Upon answering this question, I see the counterweights that are sold for PCs and don't think that this one has one. Does anyone know? Appreciate the...

    Soft Water Question

    We recently moved into a new subdivision and the water seems to be softer than where we used to live (moved about 20 minutes north of the other home). We are in a different water district than before. I noticed after washing the car a lot of water spots and kind of haze on the paint. Using a...

    1974 Mercedes 380 SL

    I plan on detailing my mom's 1974 Mercedes 380 SL as a birthday present to her within the upcoming months (I'm a little anal in preplanning). The 380 SL is a convertible with the hard top option (similar to the Mazda Miata). The car has been well cared for and has original paint but has not...
