I've got a few of those German 2 tone applicators and was wondering what the most effective method of washing them out would be. I used soap by hand, but I can still see a substantial amount of polish/wax/sealer residue and dirt. Any tips?

Is Zaino's Z5 compatible with Poorboy's products? I want something to hide the swirls on my WRX in between PC swirls removals. Or is there something in the Poorboy's line that will work just as well (or better)? Thanks guys.

I just hit my Rex with PWC, EX x 2, and Natty's Blue x 3 (3 because I think I was applying it too thin and you could see deep and not so deep areas in the paint.) :dunno I've read a few threads where some members say to use EX first THEN PWC. What difference should I expect doing EX first...

I was wondering since most of you on here are as obsessive/compulsive as I am, how many different wash mitts do you use when washing your car? Ideally, I would have one for the upper panels (roof, boot, hood, windows, upper parts of doors), one for the lower parts of doors (usually below a...

Well, I finally had time to take a stab at removing the caked on compound residue from my car after getting it rotaried by Executive Detail in Greenville :ranton and after some trial and error, Putting Bug Squash on a tooth brush and/or Q-tip worked perfectly. It even made easy work of the stuff...

I was wondering what you guys think is the easiest and/or most effective method to remove wax, polish, or compound residue from rubber trim. I can't believe any self respecting detail shop would hand over a car with this much compound residue all over it. When you walk by my car it almost looks...

Well, I finally took my new WRX in to the local highly recommended detail shop, "Executive Detail" in Greenville, SC to get the acid rain etching removed from my car. From what I could see so far in the sunlight, the etching is still there. They couldn't get out the tree sap blobs either. :wall...

In another thread I mentioned the issues I've been having with gooey blobs of tree sap on my car. Well my OCD kicked in and I took Goof Off with a Q-tip and rubbed only the part with the hardened sap. Well, after a while the sap seemed to be dissolving, but no, it was the clearcoat. :angry I...

Here are some pictures of the various ailments plagueing my paint. Click on thumbnails, some links don't work. :dunno Paint etching that was there when I bought the car, which the dealer has agreed to pay for the removal of. (Top Left) Do you think this will require wet sanding...

Has anyone ever heard of using mayo or salad dressing to remove tree sap? I did a Google search and there were a few hits that recommended this. I recently posted a thread about these big blobs of sap on my car and many people suggested alcohol. I did that, and it removed the bulk of the sap...

I was perusing the Premium Auto Care site looking for some PC pads and the oft recommended Lake Country Pads come in 7.5 inch or 6 inch sizes. It seems there's a difference between the two sizes in their shape and/or utility (ability to use only the edge of the pad if needed?) Which is which...

Just got my Poorboy's order today, 2 days after I ordered it! Wow. :dancin So the first thing I use is the Natural Look. What awesome stuff. I can make the interior look exactly how I want it with NO trouble. Smells great, no greasiness, easy to apply. What else can you ask for? Oh, and father's...

After performing many searches and reading tons of posts, I've decided to invest in some Poorboy's products. They seem to be the ones most everyone here raves about consistently, and I didn't want to mix and match a bunch of different brands. Poorboy's made that easy with it's comprehensive line...

Okay, the only spot I can park my car where I don't have to worry about idiots ramming their doors into it is near this tree that must spew tree sap incessantly. There's the usual tree sap spots, but there's also these big blobs of sap that have the consistency of partially dried jelly (like...

I signed up with Lowe's online and filled out the form to get the 10% off coupon if you're moving or have moved recently and I haven't gotten the coupon yet. Some posts here said you get an e-mail coupon after 24 hrs, and some said 3-5 days. It's definitely been 5 days and still no coupon. Did...

I've been searching quite a bit, and it seems hardly anybody uses Poorboy's Polish with Carnauba and Natty's Wax together. Are there specific reasons for this? It seems the more common combo is PWC and EX or EX-P. And what's the difference between EX and EX-P? I'm asking cuz I'm putting my...

Besides the Yellow Pages, is there any type of Detail Shop locator? Like a database with registered shops with certain credentials and such? :bow I'm in the Greenville, SC area and would like to find a good shop to take care of my paint issue.

Hey all. I'm new to Detail City and was welcomed very warmly a few days ago. In my intro. post I mentioned that I just got a new blue WRX. Well, after having it for two days I decided to polish and wax it. While I was doing that, I noticed these spots etched into the paint all over the...

Hey all. Obviously, I'm new here. Not so sure I'm happy to be here though. I'm going to spending ALOT of time on this forum reading about, and searching for products, tips, tricks and experiences. After driving a car that I wasn't OCD over for 8 years, I finally got a new one that I will be...
