Poorboys What Do I Need

[00GREENMACHINE]

I am looking for something that will make my dark emerald green honda stand out. I dont know what I need from the poorboys line. I have s100 cleaner and s100 paste wax. I do have some swirls and spider webbing. I just ordered a PC 7424 and a LC orange pad 2 whites and 1 black one.

That`s a great color to work with!

As for products, it depends on how much spider webbing you have, and how bad it looks. Anyhow, I would clean the paint by hand with your S100. Then I would try Poorboy`s SSR2, or SSR2.5 on a polishing pad (not familar with LC pads....... pick the polishing one) with the PC set at around 4.5 - 5 until the marks are gone. Then, I would follow up with a quick pass over the vehicle with SSR1 on a finishing pad with the PC set at 5 or 6........... just to make sure they are gone, and add some gloss. Now, you could apply a coat or two of Poorboy`s EX, and follow that up with a coat of S100 a couple days later.

That should make it stand out!

I agree with what was said above. SSR2.5 is a great product.

I totally agree.

EX will give you a deep, wet look and EX-P will give you a clear, wet look. It`s all up to you, but i like EX-P with metallics better since it clearly shows the flakes.

Good Luck!

I say, depending how bad it is, go over the car with SSR2 twice then Polish with carnuba, than EX or EX-P and then top with Natty`s.

Check out my Honda:

^^^^ Love those pics. That is EX/Natty`s on that finish BTW, if it wasn`t clear already

[Bob]

Thanks...and yes, that was EX and Natty`s.

I juts did my black BMW with minor swrils. Used the following.

SSR2.5 with a cutting pad
SSR1 with a cutting pad
P-w-C with a polish pad

The finish was the best that I have seen the car in some time. I did not use any paste wax or EX as this si a garage queen so protection was not of a concern.

[Bob]

Beemer, if you use EX and or Natty`s you will be even happier with the outcome!

will the ssr2 makes the clear haze up? Sounds like I need some ssr2, nattys, and ex-p. My pain has a metal flake in it and I believe some one here said the ex-p made that type of paint stand out. Will the ssr2 work with a orange pad. Also hom much to you apply and does it dry in also like other cleaner/light compounds? Do Ineed to mix a 50/50 solution of alchol and water and wipe it down before putting on nattys? Also what Polish with carnuba are you using.

[karll]

my experience with the LC orange pad is that they are really firm and have some true cutting power. so if the ssr2 wont leave a haze the pad certainly might. maybe a suggestion to use ssr2 with the LC white pad first. Leave the orange pad for serious compounding (which it excels at BTW).

who`s polishing with carnuba these days????

[JaredPointer]

Not polishing with carnauba....Polish with Carnauba....PwC, the Poorboy`s product.

I have in the past, but this black bmw is very interesting. EX or paste wax give it a smeary or oily look so I stop at the P-w-C. I`m wondering of paste wax on P-w-C is to much.

[00GREENMACHINE]

so do I need ex or ex-p for my green car?
