    Is #80 available locally?

    I was just curious if #80 is available local, PepBoy's, AutoZone, something like that? I know DACP is not, but what about #80? Anyone know any online shops that might have #80 and DACP available? Autopia has the DACP, but not #80!:nixweiss

    WEll I finally got to get a hold of my girlfrinds truck for the day. The last time I went into a detail on it I was able to remove most of the oxidation the truck had in it. But I went straight from a cutting pad with VM, to EX-P by hand. I didn't get a chance to polish it at all, it looked...

    Think I found my best combo, but I haven't heard of EX-P topped with CMW!!

    So I gave it a try, I just wasn't happy with the lack of wet look of the EX-P! So I decided to try it topped with CMW, and man am I a happy camper! I have the wet look back but it seems to have a deeper more clearcoat look with a very wet exterior! It's one of the hard to explain things that...

    SSR 2.5 Or Dacp?

    I have seen a lot of great results with Dacp, not much of any results on the SSR 2.5! So I'm sort of on the fence about this! I like the Poorboy's products, but I want to make sure I am spending money wisely! So in your opinion, which is better? And why! #9 didn't really work for me, but I...

    Can you have too many products on the paint?

    Well I was thinking of using SSR 2.5 to remove the swirls! But then I was thinking of using Poorboy's polish,VM,EX-P, and top it with Natty's!! Will this create a dull finish by just having too many products on the paint, or will it work good? Or am I just canceling out product by using...

    Will Meguiar's #9 strip off VM/CMW?

    I have the usual washing swirls, will #9 remove the VM/CMW? That's fine if it does, I will be applying VM/EX-P after the #9 is applied! So do I need to strip the VM/CMW before the #9 is applied, or will the #9 just take it off? Also, how many people took forever to find this product at the...
