So, my car was the testing ground for some Poor Boy's products the last few weeks. I have SSR1, PwC, and NB on the hood, and the PwC and NB on the hatchlid.
The car is a 07 Toyota Yaris Liftback with the DISO that we all love. :chuckle:
The SSR1 and white 65" pad did remove most of them from the hood 2 weeks ago, and when topped with the NB, it looked really nice.
Fast forward to today, and Chicago has 55 degree perfect weather! Nice for once. So I decided to fully clay the entire car (only the hood and hatch were done), polish, and seal. Below is the arsenal I used.
Products Used:
-Dawn wash...I know, I know, not supposed to use this, but I really wanted the NB to be removed off the hood/hatch before I started polishing.
-Sonus Green clay
-Four Star clay lubricant
-LC 5.5 low profile org/white pads
-Optimum Polish was used with the org pad, and remarkably didn't need another pass with the white pad! I found that working the polish in at speed 2 on the PC, then going right to speed 6, and doing 2 harder pressure passes, followed by a lighter pass with speed 6, and then a very light pressure pass at speed 5 to clean things up. This seems to work well, do you guys have any input?
-Optimum compound and a wht pad was tried on some of the heavier scratches, but didn't do much more than polish/org, so I stepped up to org/compound and that removed 90% of them, but it did make the surface a bit hazy. Nothing a single pass though with OP/org didn't take right out though.
-Optimum tire shine, GREAT stuff! Much like the PB's BnB, but a bit thicker.
-Duragloss 105 and 921 was used to quick detail any remaining polish residue off before sealing with 105.
Sorry my 2 before pics aren't that good, but they do show some minor hazing/marring. The car does only have 300 miles on it, so I just wanted to lightly clean it up and seal it.
The 105 was applied via pinnacle yellow foam app and let haze for about 20 min, then a wipe off with a Sonus yellow buffing towel, (these are great)!
