This is the first write up Ive done in a while, and since this is something differant than what i normally get to work on, I figured it was worth taking some pics to share. I didnt get any befores because the paint didnt seem to be in bad shape from the first glance, and neither did the interior.

Engine bay was cleaned with Car Brite Blue Max cut 50/50, pressure washed, and blown dry with an air gun. Car Brite Inside Out aerosol dressing and Pro Premo dressing was used throughout the engine bay, and Poorboys Spray and Gloss was used on all painted surfaces.

Interior was cleaned from top to bottom with Car Brite Xtra Duty, a jumbo vent brush, steam, and mf towels, then dressed with a combo of Car Brite Inside Out aerosol and Pro Premo. Megs PlastX was used on all clear plastic, leather seats were treated with Pro Leather Lotion, and Poorboys Spray and Gloss was used on the door jams.
 
The paint was in pretty good shape, but had a few swirl marks and defects. After a good wash with Zip Wax (2 bucket method), Car Brite Bug A Way, Car Brite Whamo whitewall cleaner, Car Brite HD Wheel Cleaner, and an assortment of mitts, sponges, and brushes (including the Daytona Speed Brush), the car was clayed with Clay Magic Blue and Pro Golden Mist QD.

Using the Griots Garage Polisher, Poorboys SSR2 and orange LC CCS pad, 97% of the defects were removed from the paint. I then went to SSR1 and blue LC CCS pad, followed by Poorboys EX-P and Nattys Blue.

This was my 8th vehical using Poorboys polishes and waxes, and I have to say that Im beyond impressed. Its the glossiest products Ive ever used and my clients are loving it :yourrock
 
Car looks great!!! You are a true professional!! I knew you would like those products. I bet you're glad you finally pulled the trigger on them. Glad to see that your GG ROP is still hanging in there.
 
Thanks Dave. I'm very happy with them, I only wish I had done it sooner. The polisher is running very well with no probs. Couldn't be happier with either :)
 
I'm excited for my goodies to come in the mail. I have my first 2 test jobs lined up and see what expectations to match. nice work!

Thank you. You won't regret your purchases at all. Give yourself some time to get used to the machine, pads, and products. There is a learning curve with all of it but after you get a system down your gonna be well on your way.
