Left side is black fender with 180,000 miles of wear and tear on it. Top right is Poor Boy's Scratch & Swirl Remover (SSR) 1 and bottom right is Poor Boy's Pro Polish.
Both polishes were applied by hand with terry cloth applicators and worked for approximately 90 seconds. The results are astounding for a hand application at only 90 seconds. I would, of course, use a buffer to do the whole car, but these results are excellent for how long I spent on it.

In this test I think the Pro Polish came out on top, but I think that's partially because by hand I wasn't able to properly breakdown the SSR1. Either way almost all swirls were removed and for 10 year old 180,000 mile paint it cleans up pretty nicely!

Thanks Sal, that's what really got me, was that I literally spend a minute and a half and did it all by hand. I'm interested to see how much of a difference is made by using the PC tomorrow.
 
Very cool demo Re-Volv. We always like to advise PP to people who are doing it by hand because, like you had mentioned, you may not have properly broken down the SSR1. It is possible to achieve amazing results by hand but would you really want to do that to the whole car then wax it :rofl

Great job :bigups
 
yes, at shows where we know most people work by hand we always show them Professional Polish first.
Professional Polish is the hidden gem of our line-up and one of my first and most favorite products, from paint to glass, to plastic headlight cover, chrome, metals and stainless (even in the kitchen) :)

I think that is what the poster said. Pro Polish was on the bottom but he said it "came out on top".

Correct. After 90 seconds there were still noticeable swirls in the SSR1 section, but the Pro Polish really took them ALL out!

I expect great things from the SSR line tomorrow when I pair them with a PC.

Any noticeable difference using the PC?

Considering the results by hand, I anticipate improved, maybe an almost complete correction.-Mike

Can you use SSR1 on your headlights? and then follow it up with a sealer like EX P

I think you can use most any paint polish (like SSR2/SS3) but then finish it will a mild polish. Start with something that is less agressive like SSR1 and then move up in polish or pad.
 
does detail city carry pb's pp? I true love this stuff. I use this to clean everything, I mean everything.

by they way nice job! SSR 2.5 is my go to polish. I have been able to take care of 99.5% of my jobs with PC, SSR 2.5 and a polishing pad. I ocasionally may switch to orange then polishing pad for the other .5%
