Pro Polish vs. PwC

The Man With The Plan
What is the point of using Poorboys Pro Polish instead of PwC? The PwC really worked out well on my wife's grey Exploder. I'm just wondering why Poorboys has 2 similar products? It looks like 1 has Carnauba and 1 doesn't. Is that the only difference?

If I were only using Poorboys products (Ex or EXP), why would I use PP instead of PwC beforehand? From reading here, it looks like both EX and EXP bond over PwC.

What is the point of using PP when PwC works so well?

Thanks,
Fleet

PP is a much more veristile product IMHO. In fact, I think it is one of the best products on the market. You can use it on glass, plastic and chrome in adition to your paint. It's a great first step product to remove oxidation and clean the surface. It leaves it clear and squaky clean. PwC makes the surface a bit wetter.

I see PwC as a great one-step product that works asa great base for EX/EX-P/Natty Wax while PP is great for surface prep and letting you choose the combo of your choice on top.
 
Pro polish is a dedicated polish ideal for multi step processes, and should not be used as a last step item. PWC can serve as a 1-step, or as part of several steps.
 
It sounds like that if I am using EX or EXP, there is no point in using PP. But, if I wanted to use another product line, PP is a good paint cleanser that won't leave any Carnauba behind to interfere with the other product line.

So, as long as I'm using EX or EXP, no need to get any PP - the PwC will work just fine.

Poorboys product line is a little confusing since they have so many similar products. Ex vs ExP, PP vs PwC.

I do like SSR2.5, SSR1, PwC, EX, and EXP a lot, but there seems no need to try PP.
 
I Use PP to clean chrome exhaust pipes on my bike, and exhaust tips on the cars. The Carnauba in PWC would fade or burn to a brown color.

If doing a white car you may not want a Carnauba based product either, there the PP would be my first choice. Actually PP is always my first step as a chemical cleaner

It all comes down to personnal preference, carnauba based products or not
 
Yes and no:lol if you were looking for a pure paint, plastic , metal , chrome or glass polish PP is the product...it was really designed for Street Rods and Antiques, as they have a lot of chrome, aluminum, stainless steel on them. Also after 15+ years of dealing with street rodders, many DO NOT use wax or silicone products on their paint....for 40-60K in paint you better not need anything on top to make it shine:) PP is also used in many body shops, where wax is a nono :nono and it also has the ability, in the right hands, to remove wet sanding marks.
All that being said, for late model vehicles PwC is a better choice and easier to use. Many detailers have found it to be a great choice for a one step detail and i personally use it that way for my vehicles for the winter here in NY. There is more than just wax in there as protection and it has a patented UV absorber too, but the rest is confidential:D
So yes for you Fleet, PwC may be all you need...

Steve, just curious, how can it remove wet sand marks when there are no abrasives in the product? I would love to be able to actually remove defects with it but I didn't think that was possible without an abrasive product. Make me understand!!!

Basically, using different level of abrasive pads or cloths will make the product perform different tasks...


Would you mind revealing the patent #?? yes I would...
