Answering The Question?

Now why would you get flamed:dunno I know you use my products too and often refer to your use of SSR2.5 to demonstrate to others on how it takes work (sometimes two passes) to achieve the results they looking for, since there are no miracle products. Yes people do recommend my products often to newbies as they are very user friendly, but i agree they should not hijack a thread. I also have seen this in my own forum and at that point they are deleted. When someone asks for a recommendation, then saying what works best for that person is the right thing to do. If they ask about a certain product then the thread should be about that product, and only those with experience with that product should NOT respond, [B]"I'm not sure I haven't used it, but"[/B]
Well that's my take on this thread and there should never be any flaming here on DC...orthe FUZZ will have to sharpen that AXE...since I know that Buzzard is getting :hungry :lol
 
I also agree with 6Cyl's comment. When people ask a question about a particular product, then the responses should directly address that product. There was a recent thread where a question was posed regarding Menzerna, Einszett, and Klasse kits. In my responses to that thread, I limited my answers to the specific products in question (even though I also use a lot of Poorboy's products). However, I do feel that it is sometimes helpful to include alternative product recommendations IN ADDITION to those mentioned in the question.

For example, some of the Menzerna polishes are best used with a rotary buffer. If a person asked a question about Menzerna polishes and said that he only had access to a PC, it might be appropriate to compare the Menzerna product's attributes with some PC-friendlier polishes. This type of advice (cross-selling) is really only helpful if you have personally used all the products you reference. A comment like "I've never used Menzerna polishes, but Poorboy's polishes are great" is not especially useful. However, a comment like "Menzerna IP is a moderately abrasive polish that I have successfully used with a PC, but best results are achieved with a rotary buffer. If you are a newbie to PC usage, you may want to consider starting with a more PC friendly polish like Poorboy's SSR2.5 or Einszett Paint Polish." would be a more useful response.
 
330 You bring up some good points and hopefully this thread will bring light to how we go about helping each other on this forum.

I can say that I'am guilty of talking about PB alot. I do agree with Steve on this one its a users freindly product that a newbie can use with little to no problems. However I always try to talk about the process along with the product that to me is more important than the product in some cases.
