We are all familiar with Poorboys (at least most are) SSR`s and also the EX`s. Now Poorboys have introduced a car wash and a wheel cleaner which I just so happened to have been using last week.
First up is the Super Slick Car Wash. Thsi car wash is highly concentrated so a little does go along way, especially if using soft water.
Nice clean smell to the product, almost like a hair shampoo type smell, very pleasant.
Suds up quick and rich, and the suds hang around for some time also, even in hard water.
Very lubricating and rinses clean, no residue left on any of the cars I have washed it with. Is also wax friendly. All in all a very nice car soap.
The wheel cleaner is a spray on/hose off type and it claims to be safe for all wheel types BUT it should be sponged on all aluminum and uncoated wheels so as not to stain.
Again it has a very pleasant smell, is non-acid based and in short does a heck of a job on wheels. I have not tried it yet on really gunky wheels but it does remove a weeks worth of brake dust with just spraying, letting it dwell and then rinsing.
Very little agitation was needed with a wheel brush. If you have a pressure washer then I would guess no agitation is needed. The key is to wet the wheel first, spray on a COOL wheel, let dwell for several minutes then hit with some water. The sprayer I got with the sample Steve sent me is useless (which Steve warned me about before hand) so that`s about my only negative comment.
Two very nice products from Poorboys to round out an already great and growing line of products. :xyxthumbs to both.
