    My secret lotion final polish uses BH and PF and...

    I recently had an issue with a cheap wax applicator pad that left hairline scratches, visible under LED inspection. This was a big disappointment as I was at LSP phase - my favorite. To remedy my new vertical stripes (straight line method), I looked around and just couldn't think of anything...

    Griots 6 warranty turnaround time?

    Well, my GG6 just broke it's spindle. It seems very skinny to turn that big weight. Anyway, does anybody have experience with the turnaround time for a repaired polisher? It quit on me at the worst time. Might get a HF to tide me over.

    Typo. Poorboy's SSR4 ?

    In the store, the description of SSR1 mentions SSR4. Like this: "If your vehicle has heavier swirls and defects, start with Poorboy’s World SSR3 or SSR4 and work backwards"... Poorboy's World SSR1 Light Abrasive Swirl Remover

    Unable to finish with SSR1. Are you?

    I've heard of people who can finish down to LSP-ready with SSR1. Definately not the case with my 8-year-old dark blue 911. I can finish to a high gloss with Professional Polish, PF2500, M205, even UC! Not so with SSR1. Is this a SMAT vs. DAT issue? Soft paint? Or technique? For finishing...

    Help with these stains on dash?

    My car is getting up in age and has started to spit foam insulation out of the vents. This is a known issue and isn't a big deal, other than the foam stains badly! If I get it off in time, I'm OK. If not, the pieces leave hard thick stains on the dash.:mad::mad::mad: See Pics. These stains are...

    Waterless Wash: How many towels do you go through?

    I can go through 15 microfiber towels (16x16) during a Waterless wash. Add three more if I follow up with a QD. Does this seem excessive? :thinking My goal is to never use the same surface of the towel twice. Further, where the car has visible dirt, I will roll the towel as I clean and thus...

    Test: Beading Properties of FK425 vs UQW

    Griot's Best of Show Wax? Any love?

    I have come full circle with Best of Show wax. I just recently used this again after a year hiatus. Since it's so hot out, I just wanted to lay down some wax with no fuss, no polish. This BoS worked great and it seemed to either do a light cleaning or maybe some filling because the water spots...

    What to use between polishing to prepare for a wax refresh?

    I'm wanting something to use in-between clay & DA polishing sessions to knock off a month or so of crud, then throw down some wax. I don't want an AIO like Klasse because I enjoy using my various waxes. Idealy, something applied by hand that doesn't take a lot of effort, and that kicks up the...

    Poorboy's Towels, and Poorboy's in general.

    I am fascinated by Poorboy's World. This little company has built an international following using plain black and white labels, simple marketing campaigns, and a refreshing lack of hype, glamour, and pseudoscience. I think people respond positively to the honesty and straightforwardness of the...
