Poorboy`s Spray and Wipe questions?

[03COBRA]

Alright, I have finally decided to give this product a try! But I have a couple of questions before I get started.



--How much do I apply to a panel?

-Just enought to cover the panel, it`s running off the paint?



--Only use it with a dirty car?

-A week of normal, good weather driving?



--Is there any marring at all?



--Do I only apply light pressure to the towel?



--How many towels do I need?

-One towel for removing the bulk of S&W, and one to wipe of the excess?



Thanks guys/gals,



Kyle

I just spray it on the panel. A light mist on the panel is usually good enough. As long as the paint is not caked with dirt.



Not a dirty car, a lightly dirty car I would say.



Yes, you should only need light pressure with the MICROFIBER ;)



I do my whole car with one Microfiber. 16X16

The stuff is mind boggling. I first used it on my rather dirty black truck and did the entire truck with one medium sized WHITE MF rag and in the end the towle wasn`t even that dirty, the dirt just vanished into thin air?!?!?!?



GREAT PRODUCT, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!



As for application, I spray a small amount and rub very lightly and do one panel at a time. Of course marring will happen, as long as a rag is in contact with your paint then some marring will happen, how much depends on the quality of the rag, products used, and pressure. Marring is inevitable but I`ve had VERY little marring using this product (less than from traditional washes).





Also, I`ve read people that have diluted this with water and use it as a QD, so yes you can use it on a clean car as well!

Hi Kyle,



1) Use a high volume spray set on the finest mist you can get. You should only need 1-2 sprays per panel. Less is more with this stuff. You spray on, let sit for 20-30 seconds to lift the dirt and grime, wipe front to back, flip towel and wipe clean.



2) I use it every 3-5 days without a problem. If the surface is noticeably not optically clear (blocked by grime), definately go to a bucket wash.



3) If used correctly, no.



4) Very light pressure...Steve actually reccomends no pressure, but I use oh so little just so the towel stays on the surface



5) I use (1) 16x16 WW MF...I have only needed 2 once, when my car was pretty dirty, in which I should`ve QEW`d it.





Couple notes: If it is streaking after you wipe clean, you are using too much.





Hope this helps :)

Old thread.... but good topic.



blkyukon: IMO you maintain a very nice finish on your truck, and I know that you use the high power lights to look for defects. Are you saying that you haven`t noticed any marring or scratching from using PB S&W? Do you use it in the winter to remove salt/splatter?
