Frustrated with Poorboys Pro Polish

Well, after receiving my Poorboys products in two days I got to try them out for the first time today. All in all I used SSR2.5, SSR1, Pro Polish and Ex-P. The only problem I had was with the PP. I used the PC to apply but when it came time to remove, it wouldn't come off. I had to resort to using a terry bonnet on the PC at 6 whcih I don't like to do. After it came off it looked great but I spent a lot of extra time on it.

After searching I'm sure I used too much product. But, how in the heck can you use less? I think if I used any less my pad would be totally dry. Is it easier to use by hand?

Ive never used that particular polish, but you should probably try wiping it off right after you apply it while it is still a little wet

You have to let PP dry before removing or it will just smear around.

Also the easiest way to remove product that get stuck is to reapply it then wipe off before it dries. Working hard to get product off can cause problems.

Sounds like you use too much product. I really like the PP but do wish it was easier to remove.

The weird thing is that it sort of gummed up when I tried to remove it. After the first pass it left specks that would smear. Next time I'll leave it alone for a while longer. I did the whole car before buffing though trying to give it adequate time to dry.

bckpack I've seen that happened, use very little! As Poorboy once told me, try to play a game where u lose the least amount of product. A few drops can last while.

Yep. Try to use the least possible, and when you think it's dry, let it dry a little longer. Also, the more you work it in, the less there is to dry.

A little goes a long way. I have not had problems with PP.

Yup, use very little. A drop of the stuff can cover a pretty big area. Just work it in until it's dry and then buff off.
