I might be the first to say this but I used the AIO and SG for the first time on my black accord and I wasn't that happy with the results. I followed the directions from CMA and various tips from the board but it wasn't that smooth and sparkling as when I used 3M products with my PC. I must say it looked a lot better on my wife's silver santa fe but still not as smooth as the 3M.



I'm always looking for different stuff for myself and an on the side detailing business. It has to be quick and easy and not require cure time(durability would be nice). After some research I have read wonderful things about Poorboys product line. I've only tried BNB and I really like it but now that they're having a sale (35% off) I want to try some other things. Just a few questions.



1. What's a MUST have from their product line?



2. Is EX better for black and EX-P better for silver or does it really matter? I would rather just get one. Also, do you get better results using VM with them?



3. What SSR do most people get? I have some pretty good swirls from winter car washes. Not horrible but noticable.



4. PP seems versatile. What do you guys use it for?



5. Is Nattys better than S100? I just got S100 for that summer time POP but I have no plans on using during the Jersey winters. Is nattys more durable and does it give a POP?



Thanks for your help!!!

1. IMO, S&W, PWC, EX-P, EX, and SSR1, SSR2



2. I think you are probably right with your product/color assumptions though I have EX-P on my dark green (almost black) accord and it ooks GREAT. Hard to choose one over the other.



3. Sounds to me like you should go straight to SSR2.5.



4. Very versatile. A bit of a learning curve. Use very litle and either use it until it is gone or allow it to dry FULLY before removing. I like to use it when I want maximum clarity with a sealant. You can also use it as a precleaner before the SSR's to clean the paint and give you a better idea of what defects you are trying to remove. The placement of this product within the detail will give varying results. It is also great on glass, chrome, plexiglass, aluminum, etc.



5. Natty's is on my list.
 
What is PWC for? I thought SMR's, EX's, Nattys was enough. Is PWC a one step quick detailing products for well maintained cars?
 
Well I am sick..just ordered a gallon of Spray and Wipe this week. I love this stuff mixed 50/50 with QuickShine. I also like the EX as well. Scottwax seems to like all of his products pretty well and that is all I need to know. I would say this is the time to order whatever you need and maybe just whatever you might need.

Do you mean a 3m last step product such as the wax? Or do you mean the car topped with the Klasse twins didn't look as good as it did when polished with 3m compounds/polishes ( or both them and the wax)?
 
Musts >>
  • PwC (great product)
  • Natty's - - for the real Carnauba lover
  • EX-P



(i have used EX but not EX-P but most suggest the later is a more advanced product - - YMMV)





Steve ROCKS! Nice products, easy to work with. :up
 
the car topped with the Klasse twins didn't look as good as it did when polished with 3m compounds/polishes
 
Hmm... I've polished with some 3m stuff and topped with Klasse. Klasse doesn't have polishing capabilities like say, smr, PI III MG, FC RC, etc.
 
How do the SSR's compare to DACP. I am looking for something fairly aggressive like DACP to use on black. Are any of these a replacement?



Good find by the way! Going to order some EX and natty's
 
Sound good to me. I've been using 1ZPP and it just aint cutting it. Need something more aggressive.



I really wanted some EX but they are out of stock.



Looks like:

EX-P

Natty's

SSR 2.5

Natural Look

Bold and bright

Total Savings of $25....Go Poorboys!



I sure hope they get a miracle order or EX in like today, and then I'll get both EX and EX-P:xyxthumbs
 
All the SSRs work very well that I have tried (1 and 2). I really like PwC, which you can use as a final glaze like VM or as a one step quickie. Both EXs are great products, I like EX w/carnauba on dark, EX-P on anything else, but I also interchange them on occasion. Natty's Paste Wax is a very wet looking carnauba, amazing on dark colors.
 
My biggest must have is Spray & Wash. Unfortunately, gallon sizes aren't part of the promotion. :o



Ah well, just about everything Steve has is good so even though I don't *need* anything immediately, I'll be stocking up anyway. :D

SSR2.5 is a touch more agressive than DACP, but breaks down finer.

I find DACP to be more abrasive, or better at removing marring. SSR2.5 is much easier to work and leaves a better finish.
 
Spray & Wash is good stuff.. So is SSR 2.5. I might order some Natty's just to try it out. Oh yea, and Bird Sh#t remover.. everyone should have a bottle of that stuff laying around.

True, but quarts are $10 each regularly. 4 qts/gal = $40/gal when purchased as quarts. Apply the 35% discount, and that's $26, which is still a savings of $4 (about 13%) over a gallon of S&W at $30 regular price.



The sale couldn't have come at a better time for me; I'm down to my last 16 oz. of S&W, and it's something I don't like to be without.
