Perplexed ....... Poorboys Spray and Gloss

**killrwheels** · 03-26-2005, 10:56 AM

Ok guys ...... something is seriously amiss and I cannot figure this out. I recently purchased Poorboys New Spray and Gloss QD and used it on my wifes Metallic Red CTS. The car has two coats of Zaino Z2Pro on it from before the baby came (2-17-05) and I have been using a couple other new QD recently (Menzerna, Sonus, FourStar) on it also with nice results. Poorboys streaks like the devil ...... and I mean large , noticable streaking.

At first I thought it might be the Florida heat and humidity, but even this morning while car was cool, sun was down, the streaks were out in full force. Has anyone diluted this ?? Anyone using it with good results ?? I hate to toss it out and consider it to be a "bad" or "unwanted" product, but this is more disappointing than QD+ (can someone say spray wax) . It smells like Lemon Pledge and seems to go on and off easy enough but even with rewipe with dry microfiber it still STREAKS !!

I myself was not to impressed with S&G. I had similiar problems with it as well! Ever since I found Adam`s DS, I haven`t looked back!

Curious as to what you were using as a topper. Maybe there is a common element that others can avoid.:nixweiss

I am sorry to hear about your dilema. Used poorboy`s S&G with no perceptable streaking. This was on a Zaino`d vehicle. Used it two days in a row. MY Z-6 arrived and have not used it again.

S&G has been working well on my Bravada which i detailed in Dec with the Klasse twins.

I noticed this too. Streaked bad for me. Hoping warmer weather will make it a bit better

Im in Florida too, and i get no streaks.

In the morning when there is dew on my car, i can see my wipe pattern from the day before when i applied it, but no streaks on a dry car.

I really use very very very little of this stuff.

I dont even give it a full squeeze of the trigger for the doors, but i wipe it around quickly, and if the mf is alittle damp with the product, it spreads it out very well, flip the towel and buff off.

It is a very nice product. Im am guessing that i dont even use a full oz. for a ford taurus.

I used this product for the first time yesterday after washing my black jeep. Needed very little product for great results. Sprayed a very slight amount on the surface and removed with good quality MF. Note that this was on a totally clean surface.

I haven`t had any problems with it either, in fact, I love the stuff and just ordered some more!

As a reference I put it in a little 2oz. spray bottle. With a freshly washed mini-van I used about 1 ounce, the next time when it had just a very, very light film of dirt I used about 2 ounces.

Really interesting. I used the stuff and really love it. Enhances the shine and finish better than a normal QD. Used it on my daily driver which is a marroon metallic. No streaks and in fact last time I used it I used it on my windows and was really pleased.

I must admit though Steve, mine came with the same sprayer.

I`ve experienced the same, I really like S+G and have encountered no problems with it, even in the less that perfect UK weather

Just use Z6 or even better wait a little bit and get the new Z8 when it is released.

**ben54** · 03-26-2005, 02:23 PM

Haven`t had any problems on a jet black bmw, even with the old spray bottles. Not sure if it matters, but I used S&G a week after applying a carnuba wax. S&G seems to have less drag than other QDs when I wipe across the surface with a MF.

**JeffM** · 03-26-2005, 03:18 PM

It works really well when i quickly dry my car, and mist it onto the slightly damp surface.

Then when i totally dry it, man what a shine, no spots, no streaks
