Benefits of PPP?

I'm just trying to gather up all the info I'll need on here in preparation for my series of initial purchases. I just posted my intro thread up, so I figure it's safe for me to ask a question now. ;)

I've searched around a bit and I've found what the normal list of products from Poorboys is that will make a nice wet finish. Here's what I think they are:
SSR2.5 (and SSR1 if needed)
PPP
EX-P
Nattys

I think my swirls aren't too bad so I think the SSR2.5 would be fine, and I'd like to have some SSR1 around just incase I get too aggressive with the 2.5. I'm still tossed up about the decision between EX and EX-P (Maybe soon EX-P+), but I'll be doing my two Chevrolet Forrest Green trucks and they have a bit of a metallic flake, so it seems like you can't go wrong with EX-P.

My question is regarding the PPP. What benefits will this step give me? I would almost imagine that the SSR will do almost everything the PPP does, but if it makes a noticeable difference, I will be sure to include it in my steps. Please fill me in on this step and if you guys think it's worth it. Also, if you have any comments about my choices, feel free to tell me I'm nuts and set me straight! :confused:
 
The PPP is a chemical cleaner, a little goes a very long way. I use it to clean chrome exhaust tips and wheels. It can also be used to strip off old sealers and waxes. It is very handy for use around the house as well. A while ago I posted pics where I cleaned a stainless dishwasher and stove.

If you are getting PPP and SSR 2.5 then you could skip the SSR1 and instead get some S&W and S&G
 
I don't know about that whole skipping the SSR1 thing. I think there are times when you just need SSR1. I would suggest picking it up as well, as it might just become your favorite light polish.
 
Agreed SSR1 is a great last step polish but for an initial order he may be better served with other products such as S&W to start off with, then he can add to his assortment later.

One from each catagory to start would be my recomemndation
 
Talk to Steve???

Maybe it would be to your advantage to call Steve, (Poorboy), and discuss what you are trying to accomplish and let him give you some suggestions.:dunno

Sounds like a good idear. I hope to "collect" most of the product line so that I have an answer for all cars. I'll give him a call soon hopefully, and I'll have my credit card in hand. :D
 
Application Tips

I've been using Pro Polish with my PC on 5, working it till its hazy, and then buffing off. However, it seems to be a real PITA to remove, and leaves smalls sections that require a lot of elbow grease to buff out. Am I doing something wrong? Sorry to Hijack the thread....

after you finish buffing, let it dry completely and it will wipe off real easy:D

also try using a little less...less=better & easier;)

Using a rotery with a wool pad, apply a few drops of PP on an area sometime.

Like others have said said, use very little of this product and work it until it almost disappears. If you do it right there will be minimal wipeoff.

So its like PwC, work it in, then let haze.....Thanks for the clarification....
:)
 
:yeah

it's very concentrated and a strong polish...if used correctly it can be worked until it just disappears, but there is definitely a learning curve for this product and if you tend to use a bit too much which is very typical, then after working it , let it dry and it will wipe off easily
 
Rule of thumb I use with PP, use half of what you would think is the right amount. Figure that you will be rubbing it in until there is no product left on the surface.

There should not be enough on left to haze, kind of wipe on, rub in, wipe off all in one step
 
This is kind of off topic for this thread. But what exactly is PP? Is it a cleaner? protector? or what?

From what it looks like, it sounds like its something that I can replace AIO with?
 
Pro Polish is a chemical cleaner. I don't think it leaves behind any sort of protection, but I could be wrong. PwC leaves behind something however.

So I could use it in place of AIO if i choose to do so?
..sorry for all the questions and hijacking of the thread.

Yes, if you're not expecting any protection to be left behind. If you want PP to clean, yes you could use it in place of AIO. However, if you want protection like AIO woul dleave, you would need to use PwC (Polish with Carnauba).
