So today I had to get acquainted with quite a few products that I recently received from both Clear Kote and Poorboy's. The test bed, my 2003 Gray Metallic IS300. One thing these are only based on one time use, so my results are not perfect.
First up the Poorboy's Spray & Wipe. This is an awesome product, you can clean your car with a spray of this product and a wipe of a MF. I had some bugs on my hood I figured no way, it did take a few extra sprays but it got it. My car wasn't very dirty so it was clean in a matter of minutes. I highly recommend this product because most of us don't wait for our cars to get dirty.
Poorboy's QD+. A different type of QD, thicker than any I have used, seems like a high carnauba content, it went on thick and buffed off easy with a deep gloss, not a high gloss like Quik Shine. I need to use this more but it seems very good, especially over UPP, although I wonder if I will have bonding problems now with applying UPP over this QD.
Poorboy's EX. I wasn't ready for this, this is a great product, can't wait to use it this weekend on few different colored cars. This is a sealant with carnauba. It looks closely like UPP, but deeper. It isn't quite as glossy as UPP, but it is deeper. I really liked it on my gray, but I did put it over 5 layers of UPP, so this is not the best scenario for this product. But I can say that there has been much discussion about topping UPP, IMO S100 didn't add anything, but EX did, it deepened the look of UPP while keeping the high gloss. I then added S100 on top it actually added more shine, my car looks so good right now. Of course you have to be obsessed to have 5 layers of UPP, EX and then S100. From what I understand you can keep layering this product but I really don't think I will see anything more.
Clear Kote Vanilla Moose. This polish has a high gloss with a clean look with some cleaning abilities. Grat shine I topped it with S100. A very impressive look and it did darken the paint slightly.
Clear Kote Quick Shine. A great QD with some cleaning capabilities. This has no carnauba and can be used over wax's and sealants. Very high gloss, the most I have seen from a QD and it is very versatile. I have even found it useful around the house.
Clear Kote Tire Treatment. This is a decent product, but doesn't crack my choices for tires, I like the EF Black Saphire and even like Endurance better. I tried this on a few other areas but found it useful for the wheel wells but itis a little expensive for this use.
Clear Kote Carpet Cleaner (aerosol). Not a bad cleaner but it sprays fast and all over, messy. Guess I need to use it a few more times. I haven't used it on anything that is extreme yet either. I like the 4 Star carpet cleaner alot so it will be tough to replace.
