This morning I had an app't with a guy to do his late 90s ragtop vette. I was really looking forward to this job, it's really a nice car. I packed up the truck with all my supplies and as agreed, met him at his house so he could follow me to my shop. He comes to the door in his robe and...

What are some of your biggest pet peeves (non-detailing related)? I'll start with a couple of mine 1. Talking with software "tech support" people who know less about the product or technology than I do as an end user. 2. Closets, cabinets and dresser drawers left partially open (really...

This is the first time I used the 4-Star White Lightning All Purpose Cleaner and I'm impressed. This wasn't your ordinary "used it on wheels or carpets test". I had to clean the white resin table outside on our deck. It had been sitting out there all through the fall and winter during some...

Hope you have a great day!

Anyone seen Boss_429 lately?

Would like to get some feedback from folks who use a rotary on a regular basis. As a rotary newbie and only part time fee based detailer, price and weight were key factors when it came to my rotary purchase decision. Having used the rotary for a few months now and getting a lesson from Steve...

WOW! It's not every day when you get to see an artist perform up close and in person. All I can say it I am impressed. Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting live and in person, Steve aka Poorboy. I was doing a 1996 Black Impala SS and Steve made an hour drive to my shop just to meet me and...

For all you Q&E users out there, is it safe to use on convertible tops? I have a Mustang Cobra convertible to do next week and may not be able to use my usual garage and thus be relegated to my driveway and the ccccccold outdoors. Any recommendations/suggestions welcome. Thanks.

I've used the Zep spray bottles from Home Depot for many different products and not had any leaking problems. Two bottles have had Megs APC+, one with a 4:1 diution and one with an 8:1 diution, for many months and no problem. I went out to the garage before to check on something and found my...

I recently had a chance to try a new product by Poorboy. Right now the product is called Poorboy's EX, Amino Functional Resin Sealant with Carnauba (phew, try and say that 5 times fast). This new EX product is a final finish sealant only. Poorboys also has a Professional Polish that can be used...

I was thinking of having a tailgate mural painted on my F150 and it dawned on me that there may be some special precautions when using a polish/SMR, or any abrasive on special paintwork (i.e. flames, murals, etc.). Now that I think about it, perhaps even taped on graphics would need some...

Poorboy's Spray and Wipe! Had some road salt and light dirt on the truck that found its way back on after going to the self serve wash the other day and it was bothering me. I grabbed three new 16x16 JT mfs (sooo soft) and my spray bottle with Poorboy's Spray and Wipe. I used more product...

I emailed Tom Gong at JT Intl' to get a list of what's in stock and current pricing and in his reply he mentioned that his 16x16 Micro-Touch mfs will begin shipping with removeable, pressed on tags instead of the sewn in tags. Apparently not only is he listening but he's also taking action...

Last weekend I came to the realization that I was a statistic waiting to happen. There I was with the PC, on a wet washbay floor, dragging a 30 y/o extension cord that had the third prong hacked off by my dad when he was somewhere that had only two prong sockets. The ends of the extension...

I'm doing a green metallic town car this Friday and while giving it a quick look I noticed the rear passenger quarter had a fairly thick, two inch line of white paint from another car's bumper. Now I've got a whole host of polishes, glazes etc but am wondering what type of product would be best...

A few weeks ago I did a poorly maintened Explorer that had lots of water spots and spider web scratches. I used DACP and Pro's Duz-All with a Meg's maroon cutting pad but still had some spots and cleat coat scratches that I could not correct. Since I don't have a rotary I can't go to some of...

Did a black 300 SEL Benz this weekend. The car is a very clean, garaged and pampered vehicle....you'd never know it was a 1988 model. Since it was basically just light surface dirt and dust, I decided to use the Poorboys Spray and Wipe waterless wash with a handful of MF towels. I think I...

I'm stopping by the local Meg's distributor tomorrow to pick up some DACP but I'm also running very low on #9. I was thinking of trying one of the other products in the title instead of #9. Meg's lineup is a bit confusing...why have both #9 and SWP if they are both rated a 3 on their scale...

Did a black Lincoln LS this weekend. It was heavily swirled, especially the hood and driver side front fender. Washed, clay, Pro's Duz-All with cutting pad, P21s GEPC and P21s carnauba. The results were excellent. Here's a link with a few b4 and after pics (check out the reflection on the...
