350Z + Poorboys Products = Sweet!

[mgm2003]

Here`s a 350Z that I did for my boss last week. This was my first experience with SSR2.5 and EX-P. I found that the PB products are really easy to use, have a nice smell, and the results are pretty nice too. A tip of the hat to Steve for bringing us these fine products!

Nice! What pads did you use with each step? Make and type, for example-edge 2000 polishing or light cutting?

First, let me give some background on what I started with. My boss had to travel to NYC from Philly a few weeks ago and had to park under the train station. It rained, and A LOT of rail dust & unknown crud dripped on his car and produced nasty acid/etching marks over the entire car. When he returned, he complained to the parking lot manager. The manager said this was a common problem and offered to clean it. They did, with toilet bowl cleaner + soft scrub, and nylon toilet bowl brushes. He about sh** his pants when they finished. He had TONS of scratches from the brushes + most of the spots didn`t lift. The week after that he had his driveway sealed. The folks that sealed the drive didn`t bother to close his garage door and the back 1/3 of his car got coated with driveway sealer overspray. I clayed the car (3 bars) which removed the sealer overspray and a lot of the rail dust goo. Next I applied SSR2.5 with a yellow edge 2000 pad (rotary on the tops & PC on the sides). I followed up with another coat of SSR2.5 with a blue edge 2000 pad. Then 1 coat of PwC with an edge 2000 blue pad via PC. I topped it with EX-P, using a black edge pad via PC. I removed about 95% of the defects. A few spots probably need to be wet sanded, compounded, polished, etc... but I didn`t have time (or the nerve) for that.

Wow! What an awesome job knowing the background. Thanks for sharing your pad selection. I can`t wait to receive my Edge 2000 pads w/the quick connect system. They should be here Friday of this week as well as my PoorBoy stuff. Thanks for replying, AND GREAT WORK!!

[mgm2003]

Thanks for the kind words.

You`ll REALLY love the PB products and edge 2000 pads. I had to purchase the counter weight for my PC to reduce the vibration.

Let`s try posting those pics again, this time a little larger.

Great job, any tutoring in the future?

Luv-N-It.

You`re funny! I like the last post.

I just noticed that you`re from Ohio. I`m from Columbus. The buckeye`s are having a tough year!

Got to love that Poorboys line up. I have only used PB products a few times but I have been very pleased.

Nice work. I`m sure your boss is thrilled. Did he by any chance convince the parking garage people to pay for the great detail?

Shawn.

He didn`t go back to the parking manager about paying for a detail, but I mentioned it to him. I was so pi$$ed when I saw it, and it`s not even my car. I`m not even going to tell you how many hours (actually days) were invested in this one. I did it for free (plus I wanted to try out my new PB products),

It was well worth the opportunity to drive the new 350Z -tons of torque and power.

Did I mention that I ordered my PB products on Monday October 4th, and they were on my doorstep (I Live in Delaware) on Tuesday the 5th when I got home from work. That was by standard shipping. I couldn`t believe it!
