Poorboys Spray & Gloss Review

mtwedt said:
Okay...After reading the posts, I had to go downstairs to the garage and "re-smell" my S&G. I guess it is like Lemon Pledge or a lemon oil furniture polish but I don't mind the smell at all. I certainly love the results. I have used it on just about every exterior surface. Another application method that was posted here (or Autopia, can't remember which) was for use after a full wash. Spray S&G after doing the first pass with the WW when drying the car when there is still a small amount of water on the finish. Follow with a wipe with another WW or a buffing MF (I like this better) and flip for a buff. Super shine. I also tried a spray of S&G to remove a coat of Natty's after it hazed. Wonderful shine and certainly quicker at getting Natty's off ( not that it is terribly difficult anyway). I think there is a superior bit of shine with these methods.

I do sort of the same thing. I spray each panel with it before I hit the panels with a WW when drying. It aids in lubrication of drying and also gives a glossier and slicker paint.

Sorry that we hijacked your thread a bit there Greg.

Again, great review! :bigups
 
Yea Greg I too am sorry. Your review is well written and I'll have to try the Spray and Gloss misting while the car is still wet.
 
has anyone else use Eagle Wipe and Shine. How does the S&W compare. I am looking for something that can be sprayed and wiped off with ease. Also I need a lot of it and this comes in a gallon. I wash my car atleast 2 times a week and after its washed its I have to put it on it. Just wouldn't look good with out it IMO.
 
boss and rabbi - I have no problem with you branching ideas of the thread. Were all here to learn afterall. Im glad you guys always have helpful thing to add. Thanks

I have used EO Wet Wipe & Shine. It's one of my favorite OTC QD's. however, it's a different animal than Poorboy's S&W. S&W can be used on a moderately dirty surface, whereas the EOWW&S shouldn't be used if the finish is very dirty. I have used it over light dust and such with no ill effects, but I wouldn't use it like I would S&W.
 
I know that there is no way in hell these 2 things could possibly be related but since I started testing out my own supply of spray and gloss birds really seem to be targeting the car more! I honestly never got pooped on more than once a year! I have been hammered by turds the past week! EVERY DAY! I tried to clean the poop with the S&G but i didn't like the way it was working. S&W to the rescue! I also don't love the smell but I can live with it. I think this product fits in my routine after a detail with minimal surface dust/finger prints. I was hoping to be able to replace the S&W with this slicker product but it isn't looking like thats going to happen.
 
Well I must say I have been reading the hype machine here for spray and gloss for a few weeks now so I figured what better chance to order some since its on sale at Autogeek. Me being the skeptic I am I fully expected to not see a big deal with the product. Well, at this moment I am begging for Steves forgiveness for not being a believer because Spray and Gloss is certainly deserving of the rave reviews. Slickness is unsurpassed, excellent shine and absolutely no streaking (Black Corvette) and a nice scent. Just like the SSR line (incredible) this QD is the real deal!
thanx
 
u all u should try using adams method and spray it over a rinsed car after a wash and then proceed to dry. i never get any streaks that way. never and barely any water spots.
 
Today I washed my dads RSX and his car is in bad shape, I just never have anytime to work on it. Well we washed it and I thought I would give it a boost of shine with some spray and gloss. I did one side and then went inside and came back out and ran my hand over the S&G side and then over the plain side. It was like night and day, the S&G side was smooth and nice while the untouched side was rough as hell. I used to doubt how well it can add slickness because my car is already very slick but now im convinced this stuff is amazing.
