1st Time Purchases: A-OK ?

**HondaMan** · 07-22-2004, 08:16 PM

OK, I`m ready to buy my first products through the sponsors here.

Was looking for feedback to see if I`m missing anything or buying wrong:

(1) A bunch of microfiber towels (am I right in assuming they`re not just for drying but for applications?)

(2) 4* Ultimate Clay Combo Kit (for my new Civic or the folks older car)

(3) Clay Magic FINE bar (just for my Civic, when I decide to start claying after the car needs it -- it`s still only 4 weeks old).

(4) Poorboys Polish w/Carnuba (is 12 oz. enough for a few turns?)

(5) Poorboys SSR1 (probably not gonna use it right away, for down the line).

(6) Poorboys PVA Sponges 4 Count (if I want to use them instead of the towels to clean and apply stuff)

Am I missing anything -- sealant, regular car wash, plain wax? I would like to apply a few coats of whatever best protects against chips and regular wear & tear to the car -- so I want to do all the layers right in a few weeks.

Any feedback welcome.

Get some PoorBoys EX or EX P , which ever you like best . Why the 2 Clays . I think you would be more then happy with the just the 4****kit.

HondaMan,

12 oz of PP should be enough for a few times.
The PVA sponges are great for applying sealants ( I never used them for cleaning )

Thanks folks....and OMG....that picture scared the c*** out of me...I think it`d take me as long to come up with all that stuff as to do the actual cleaning and detailing !!! Yikes !!!

Well, live and learn...will do it myself a few times....if I find I`m getting up at 7 AM on Saturday and finishing the whole shebang at 5 PM, then it`s off to the Yellow Pages looking under "D" for Detailers !!! lol

I am in Putnam. Too bad you missed our PB detailing day last week. It was in Haverstraw

**HondaMan** · 07-23-2004, 02:02 PM

I just got told about this site while on vacation a week earlier....will have to catch the next one or similar items. Thanks for the heads up -- yeah, Haverstraw is right next door, too bad. Next time!
