Why not so many fans for PB's PP?

I use PB's Professional Polish on a regular basis and find it to be a great paint cleaner and prep for a variety of sealants and waxes.



I've not read much about this product here. Feels like I'm standing on a island :shocked
 
I have actually collected a few bottles of it in trade and like it. It's easy to use once you learn that it needs to dry prior to removal and leaves the surface squeaky clean.
 
I like it too - I think the reason it isn't super popular is that there are many, many product that overlap in that range of polishes. Every one has it's little niche, but between the really light abrasives, the cleaner polishes, and the glazes, there is a lot of competition for that "last pass before lsp" polish.
 
i think this is stage where clearkote dominates unfortunately .. atm, there is nothing better than VM and RMG IMHO

I'd agree between Clearkote, Meguiar's, Menzerna & Poorboys theres quite a variety of light polishes/cleaners/glazes available. :o
 
Menzena's PO85RD and Red moose glaze to polish before my lsp. If it a sealant i use Duragloss 601 bonding agent.
 
Ya, see - everyone has their favorite. For me it's Sonus 3, Clearkote VM, or Clearkote RMG, or some combination of the three. I like PP, it just doesn't have a place in my "arsenal".
 
I dont know if the formula has been changed but PP ruined the trim on my wife's CRV.



Granted, I should have been more careful and not gotten it on the trim but Ive never actually seen a detailing product that ruined trim even tho they all have the warning.



Still, other than the trim snafu, it was a good product as is most of the Poorboy's line and customer support from Steve is top notch.

I'd use VM or RMG between PP and my LSP, neither CK product has the polishing/cleaning abilities of PP.
 
I like to use PP under pure sealants, rather than AIO, just cuz I'm paranoid and picky and think pure sealants will bond better to a PP'd surface rather than AIO because of the fact that AIO does leave some protection behind (acrylic I believe.)



As a matter of fact, I'm so picky that I try to stick with same polish/cleaners and sealants. UPC/UPP, AIO/SG or any carnauba, PB PP/EX-P (or I'll use SSR1 if swirled), ZPC/Z2, etc. I always use AIO under a carnauba, though, or if I don't have the corresponding cleaner/polish, I'll use AIO anyways, like in the case of my WG sealant.
