I'm planning on using SSR2.5 with polish pad to remove some swirls. I've heard that you can use the SSR line in the sun, which is the only way I can polish my car. What are some tips to help me do a great job, as far as using it in the sun? Do I need to use more product? work faster? Also...

I'm trying to figure out how long this combo will last. Wash, AIO, EX-P x 3 coats (all on consecutive days) Car is two years old, in great condition. Daily Driver. Hawaii weather 85-90 degree sun. Covered parking at night, parked in the sun day time. Rains about 3 times a week. How long...

I have a G35 that gives off crazy amounts of break dust. It forces me to wash rims every single week. Right now I'm using EagleOne A2Z. Is it safe to use this product every week? I really like the fact that its so easy to use.

my friend just got a scrape on his front bumper. He was wonder if he should take it to a body shop for a full repaint or just take it to ColorsOnParade for a touch up. Have any of you had any experience with this franchise? Do they do good work? I heard they have about 70 operations in the...

i have a very nice custom sunbrella car cover. So far I have not been able to make good use of it. I have covered parking, but rain can still enter my parking space. I'd like to cover my car more often but if my car is even a little dirty I'm afraid of maring. Also it rains 200 times a year...

what is this product used for? I got a bottle of it, but not sure how to use it. I was thinking I'd do DACP with light cut pad, then Hand Polish with polish pad, then carbanuba wax by hand. does that sound okay? I wanted to use Exp, but I think the Hand Polish has alot of oils so the Ex-p...

I have a 03 G35 that has black leather. I clean it using Mothers two step process (cleaner then conditioner). I like the way it looks but when i sit on the seats they become very slippery! I'm wondering if some leather seats have some type of coating to protect it? Plastic coating maybe...

Yesterday i had a chance to use my PC with DACP. I was quite shocked with the results. I got rid of alot of swirls using cut pad. Just wondering if DACP has fillers? I follow it up with SSR1 with polish pad, would that remove the fillers? I hate removing swirls and then finding out i just...

I love poorboys products. EX-P, SSR1, SSR2, SSR2.5 are the only polishes/sealents I use. I just ordered a gallon of Spray & Wipe. My car is a 2003 black G35. But I have been having some major smearing residue after i finish using the spray and wipe. Here is the technique I use: Spray each...

has anyone used an inverter connected to their car battery to use a PorterCable? The PC uses 407 watts (3.7amps & 110volts), but I'm not sure if the power from the car battery will last. Anyone know any info?

Just want some opinions on how I can improve on my yearly car care program. Please note that this is only for the exterior of the car. I have a black G35 thats about 2 years old. Its in great shape, just some swirls and minor scratches here are there. Any suggestions on products or...

I have some polish & cut foam pads from Lake Country. I had them for about a year and a half, and have polished my car 3 times. What are some signs that I need to change pads? Is it determined by age or how many times you used them? Thanks.

Just wondering if I'm washing too much. My car is black which is a really tough color to keep clean. Usually I do one QEW on a weekday and a regular wash on the weekend. Is this too much washing? = micromaring? Sometimes I try to wash only once a week, but after 5 days the car looks...

I just ordered at 32oz bottle of QEW from PakShak (thanks Ranney!) and used it once. I'm amazed how this product works. I used the two bucket method with sheepskin wash mitt. A section at a time, then dry each section. I must say the results are quite outstanding for the time it took. I'm...

I finally got a chance to polish my car yesterday. I started with SSR2.5 with cut pad. I set it at 3 to spread the product and then increased to 5. I checked the results, I was a bit disappointed. My luck with the PC hasn't been to great so far. I thought I had nothing to lose so i...

I have a black G35, its about 2 years old and in great condition. How often should I polish it? Right now I use SSR1 with PorterCable+Polish Pad twice a year. For those areas with swirls I use SSR2 with Polish pad. Is that enough to keep the paint in good shape? Of course I also clay twice...

a couple weeks back i was trying to remove some light scratches on my black car. Unfortunatly i didn't have my PC with me so I deceided to apply SSR2.5 by hand with a microfiber applicator.(i know, bad idea) I followed this up with SSR1 with the same method and then Ex-p. anyway, I've got...

I just got some SSR2.5. I tried a little on one of my bumpers. But i noticed that i could feel some of the abrasives when i put it on my finger, like very little grains of sand. Is that normal? I know SSR2 i can't feel the abrasives and also DACP. For those who have used both DACP &...

I'm having a really hard time with coming up with an effective way to remove bird droppings. I've been using S&W with a MF towel, but many times i can't remove it or it leaves a stain. What type of products should i use to remove these stubborn droppings? I hate rubbing the paint...

Here in Hawaii it rains at least 3 times a week. I'm wondering if its okay to use Spray&Wipe to clean my car after some rain. My car is Black also. Or would this cause too much mircomaring?
