confused a bit on PWC & pro-polish

From what I understand the cleaning abilty of pwc is strictly chemical. Having said this, what would be the purpose then of using pro-polish since this is also considered a chemical cleaner? I understand a lot of people will clean the surface with the pro-polish, and then fix the surface with one of the ssr's, but wouldn't pwc work just like pro-polish to clean the surface?
 
Pro Polish is a pure polish. PwC contains polymers and wax. The wax in PwC will fill and hide imperfections. If you want to reveal the true condition of a surface, then you should use a chemical cleaner which does not leave any oils or fillers behind.
 
So, would pro-polish be better at removing oxidation & stains than pwc or anything else in the poorboy lineup?
 
Pro Polish is a very versatile product that can be used on many types of surfaces (paint, glass, metal, plastic headlights, etc.). For oxidation removal and paint stains, Pro Polish would be the appropriate Poorboy's product.
 
Pro Polish is chemical only. The Poorboy's line is made for more experienced detailers and each of their products does a different thing. The SSR line is an amazing mechanical polish for removing swirls, scratches, and hazing. Pro Polish is a chemical cleaner that removes everything from the paint except the paint itself, it does nothing for swirls but, as previously stated, is one of the best at removing stains and oxidation. Polish with Carnauba is a one step product for fairly well-kept cars. It is great for quick wash and wax details because it gives the car a nice deep look, decontaminates the paint surface, and is quick and easy to use. A product you'd pick up at walmart would try to do all of these things at the same time and would not do any one thing well. This is what sets Poorboy's apart from other brands, each product is designed to do one thing very well.
 
well, perhaps I am incorrect about it having abrasives, I can't really feel any, but as for it not removing swirls or scratches this is FAR from true. I can remove 1500 grit sand scratch marks with it even using only a pc. Using a rotory only makes it easier. Pro polish can be a serious paint defect fixer. If you have doubts give it a try, I gaurantee you won't be disappointed. I've used it in conjunction with nothing but 2000 grit paper and it came out flawlessly. Don't underestimate pro polish. This is also why assumed it had at least some mech abrasives. Hard to believe that a chem only abrasive could do that.
