This is really just show and tell: not a formal review

Owner asked me if I could do anything to a few scratches. Finished up car wash and returned with my Nano and a selection of Poorboy`s polishes.

SSR 2.5 on Nano w/blue rupes foam pad
Long neck, 12mm and the larger adapter

Finished off with yellow rupes pad and PWS for good measure.

Quite impressive IMO. There were a few other scratches like this across the vehicle but they were a littlw deeper and I was only able to knock them down a little bit. Didn`t take any pics of them. Long day.

Stuff smells great too!

Easy on, easy off, sun or shade... just like advertised. And btw the panel was so hot I couldn`t touch it with my bare hands. And this stuff came off easier than some of my other products do inside my garage.

Thanks for viewing

Is it an oily product? I need something like that. Sun friendly is a necessity this summer.

It`s so important, having sun/heat friendly products is amazing and allows you to get a tan instead of being a white recluse :D

Very nice!

I`ve been waiting for summer to come around so I can mess with their products in the So Cal heat (you know, just for testing purposes).

I`m almost settled in my new home, so I`ll be getting around to more detailing stuff. yay

I didn`t notice it being oily... what specific products would you consider oily? maybe I have one of them and could get an idea of what you are talking about

its a pretty thick consistency

sun friendly = Poorboy`s--- but I`m coming to find out that they are just fine when used in the garage too, haha - but I swear they work BETTER in the hot sun

Most Menzerna, and UP come to mind.

Several years back, I bought a car that was damaged by tunnel washes. SSR 2.5 knocked it flat in a hurry! Very good stuff.

I`ve had some pretty great 1 step results with SSR 2 as well - but 2.5 needs a follow up step in most cases

I still need to pick up SSR3 (I have Master cut coming)

Master Cut is a monster. Positively needs a follow-up step, but it`s a non-apologetic Compound. I`ve only used it for spot buffing RIDS, where it worked great.

haha...i remember reading that it almost seems like those products FAVOR the sun/heat. Maybe it was from AG`s product description (or the PBs page on AG)

In my case, it was *definitely* - But I had planned on following up anyway, in that case it was Professional Polish. It`s in this thread http://www.autopia.org/forums/click-brag-the-detailers-showcase/184400-results-poorboys-world-smorgasbord.html?highlight=

yep I needed a sun friendly compound that don`t take no RIDS from anybody, hahaha
