Steve,

I see your website has been updated with your new products. Looks great, and I'm looking forward to seeing those products for sale here at DC. Couple questions:

I don't see a "pure" paint cleaner in your lineup.......... do you feel that your SSR1 accomplishes that task?

Also, approximately how long do you feel the EX will last on a daily driver, provided the EX is kept up with your QD+.

Lastly, would the following be a good core group of your product for a fairly well maintained vehicle:

Clean and SMR with your SSR1
Followed by your Professional Polish
Followed by your EX
Maintained with your QD+

Thanks!
 
Hey Boss,

If I could be so bold to reply before Steve I would say the Pro Polish is about the closest thing to a pure "paint cleaner" in the Poorboys lineup. It is so mildly abrasive that it probably would register a 1 on the Meg's scale. It is water based and leaves behind no fillers or oily residue. I've used it as a prep for UPP and works fine.

Boss,

If I can shed some light on EX from my experience. It is on top of AIO and I have 4 x EX. I drive it daily and regularly use a CCD or s&w to clean it. I use a qd approximately 2 times a week and only need to wash once in two weeks. The EX has been on for maybe 2 months and doing fine. I have now layered it again (was bored and wanted to do something :D ).
 
ashsarna,

Do you think 1 or 2 coats of the EX would have lasted 2 months?

Natty,

Would you/do you use the Pro Polish after the SMR, just prior to the EX, or the Pro Polish prior to the SMR?

Thanks guys.
 
Pro Polish as final step before sealant/wax coat. If you're using something light like SSR1 or Meg's Swirl Free you can skip the Pro Polish but I've found it definetly does contribute to the final look.

I would like to buy the line and try it...
Can some cut and paste the steps and products and how I best can use it....Lets say
1. for Oxidiz'd and swirl'd paint
2. Good paint.. not much too fix..

thks

Last (and best) time I've used EX it was like this: On the other weekend, I went on a small vacation, to a place where pollen is free, birds do crap and water is HARD.

When I came back, though I only washed the car on touch-less places and S&W it while I was there, it had swirls I didn't want.

What I did? DACP w/ the PC, (Menzerna Fast Cut where needed, few places), 3M PI-III Machine Polish w/ PC, 3M PI-III Finishing Glaze, supposed to have carnauba on it, and finally EX, 2 coats by now. I've never seen my car look so great, and don't think it's possible either.

Just an FYI.....Dwayne will be carrying Poorboys products at the on-line store here within a couple of weeks.

Boss,

I think it (EX) would last the 1 or 2 months, but as hans said, it all depends on your envoiroment. There will be seasons that are not harsh on your paint as compared to others. I have had times when my klasse has lasted several months and times when it has lasted a couple. If you maintain with a qd and s&w it will last longer imo. Later:D .
 
Give a guy a chance to answer..lol

Hey Boss,

You got a lot of info before i even had a chance..lol

Yes Natty has seen all the products and is probably the best one

to answer comparison questions to other products...he has used

SSR 1 ,2, & 3 on black... under indoor lighting....

Yes Professional Polish is so unabrasive yet does intense cleaning and smoothing of the finish as well as metals, glass and plexiglass(for motorcyclists) shields.

The SSR1 will do a bit but not a lot more , but is better suited for machine use...it's much thicker and spreads more evenly.

All the polishes are done working when they start to dust....there are diminishing abrasives in all of them and Natty can tell you that after I used the SSR3 with a rotary on the black car there were no swirls, and you could not feel any abrasive in the pad.

Boss....you are my favorite type consumer....the bigger the skeptic ..the more you'll love it after you try it..:D
 
Hi Steve

Boss is not skeptic, he's just wise. He doesn't jumps on a product line just cause someone tells it's a miracle.

He lead me the way to products like Einzsett and Menzerna which I didn't know before.

I'm sure he'll like the EX as much as I do ;)
 
poorboy,

Thanks for the info! I'm looking forward to trying your products, and I'm sure I will like them very much. I also like the look of your prices.............. very competitive for such a high quality product.

I've got all kinds of plans........... your pro polish under a few coats of UPP, topped with EX.............. ect.
 
Boss...I'm sure now that you can get everything you like in one place itwill be easier for you to EXperiment. From my talks with Dwayne, I see someone open , like me, to using different combinations of products at this level of detailing that suits each person's taste. To say you can cover every base would be naive by one product mfg. but to have a Superstore....I know you can't lose. Dwayne is filling(Oh I know I'm leaving out Rick but you are meant to be included when I say Dwayne)...an area that the chain stores just won't allow to happen. If you're one of the big three...M's in this biz you own all the shelf space...I say let Dwayne give them a run for their money :D
 
I agree, and your right, I like to try different products.

Also, if Dwayne reads this, I think you've come up with a great new "logo" idea............. Premium Auto Care dot Com - Your Detailing SuperStore!
 
Hello,
What is the advantage of ordering Poorboy`s line of products from Premium Auto vs. Poorboy`s own site?

Dwayne, I've been using their Perfect-IT III polishes and Finishing Glaze. I've found them almost perfect (saw those pics from the BMW I did? I used them). What I don't understand is why their US range of products is apparently different from ours.

For example their Machine Polish (the final polish) is P/N 09376, and the Finishing Glaze (protective glaze, supposedly with carnauba) is P/N 09377. They work incredible together. Do you have this same products there?
