    Viking Sure Grip Allpicator Pad

    I used one of these 5" foam applicator pads for the first time while applying yet another coat of EX last Saturday. This pad has a "Sure Grip" foam handle that makes application much easier and faster than a regular ole yellow foam applicator. I had absolutely no complaints about this...

    How to Remove the dash for smoothing & painting.

    I have an 02 Silverado. I've seen many in mags that have smoothed and painted the dash. The smoothing and painting part presents no problem but removing the dash worries me. I'm afraid of opening a real big can o' worms if I start taking the dash apart. Any of you have any experience in...

    Rescued by Spray & Wipe

    The last couple of days I didn't have many clients to see so I started on the big detail to the Silverado. I loaded up the PC and the dog and I headed for the park on a beautiful day. I was down to the last panel when I noticed that there were tiny spots on the hood, tonneau and roof, shining...

    Meaningful compliment

    I work on my truck, whether it's doing custom work or detailing, because I like doing it. But, it is nice to get compliments and have people appreciate my efforts. Today I got a compliment from a source that surprised me and after I thought about it really made me feel good. I was in the...

    Poorboys Natural Look....first use.

    Used Poorboys Natural Look for the first time this weekend and I love the stuff.....just as I was afraid I would :) I've loved the Spray and Wipe from the first time I used it and I just kinda figured I'd go ga-ga over the Natural Look too and I was right. I applied it by spraying it on a...

    Poorboys Natural Look

    Although I love Poorboys other products I'd been resisting trying Natural Look on the interior and tires. I had products for these applications and thought I'd better use them up before I tried something new. I got my first bottle of Natural Look about a month ago but first used it over the...

    Electric Cord Reel (& Poorboys Spray and Wipe)

    Reeling up electric extension cord has bugged me and been a hassle....until I got this gadget called the Wonder Winder. It's the thingee/contraption with the basketball net type of basket on the bottom of it. It works really well, perfectly in fact, has been my experience. I"ve had it for...

    Product Report

    I parked under the wrong tree while the dog was running around the park Sat and had to clay bar the horizontal areas of the truck to get the sap off and then "had" to put another layer of EX on it. I used Poorboys Spray and Wipe as the clay lubricant for the first time and it worked...

    New Method for Using Poorboys Spray and Wipe

    I had an hour to kill while the dog was at his hair dressers appt this morning so I decided to S&W the truck. I found that the passenger side was fairly well covered with pinpoint sized black spots......like road tar. I don't know what it was but I discovered that it didn't "wipe" off. I...

    Pressure Washer Detergent?

    Bought a pressure washer a while back to do the undercarraige and stuff around the house. What detergent do you folks use? Do you have to use a special type or will dishsoap or laundry detergent work? I'm clueless here and can't find the instruction book:o

    Whisk broom substitute?

    For years I've carried a whisk broom to get rid of the little stuff that accumulates between vacuming times. I'm sick of the darned straw coming out of the whisk broom and having to pick them out of the carpet pile where they become stuck like glue! What would be a good substitute for the...

    Stoners MSLT as undercarraige detailer?

    Yesterday I sprayed some MSLT on the front wheel wells and it seemed to coat them with a nice black. After a few hours and a few miles I checked them again and they still looked pretty good so I got out the creeper and sprayed the differential. After a few more hours and miles the...

    Poorboys Pro Polish and EX

    I put on a coat of Poorboys Pro Polish and 2 coats of Poorboy's EX sealant yesterday and what a joy it is! First I dusted with the Ca. Duster, then used the Poorboy Spray and Wipe to clean the surface. I used the PC for the Pro and the EX application. A Meguiars yellow pad for the polish and...

    Undercarraige Detailer?

    I've got a good supply of Stoners MSLT, for tires, on hand and had a brainstorm yesterday and sprayed it on the wheel well. I checked it today and it looks good so I got on the creeper and rolled under the back of the truck and sprayed the differential. After a couple of hours and a few miles...

    Digital Camera Search

    I know this doesn't exactly come under the heading of a detailing thread but it does pertain to detailing. I'm ready to pop for a digital camera so I can join the ranks of posters who post pics. But...I know even less about digital cameras than I do about detailing so I need your...

    First use of Poorboy's EX

    I got my order of Poorboys EX yesterday and couldn't wait to try it so at 9 pm last night I went out to the garage and put a coat of EX on the tonneau cover and the hood over the 5 coats of Zaino I have on it. It's still hard for me to believe that the Zaino could possibly be improved on but...

    Poorboys Spray and Wipe

    I ordered this product on Friday and got it today, Wednesday.....excellent service. I had sprayed the tires with Stoners MSLT and I took it for a ride to the park with my dog. I used too much MSLT and it got all over the side of the truck. In addition it was quite dusty at the park and when I...
