Poorboy's Towels, and Poorboy's in general.

I am fascinated by Poorboy's World. This little company has built an international following using plain black and white labels, simple marketing campaigns, and a refreshing lack of hype, glamour, and pseudoscience. I think people respond positively to the honesty and straightforwardness of the product line. The catchy name and mascot draw you in. Then you see that the prices are fair, but aren’t rock bottom either. The price/performance ratio always represents value, but never cheapness. PB isn’t the type of company to sell something just because it’s inexpensive. For instance, the towels. They could just rebrand the Super Towel (a typical house brand Chinese MFT) and say “look how cheap!” but instead they’ve found a towel that they know is excellent and they charge accordingly but not exorbitantly. Personally, I learned my lesson recently when I tried to save $10 and bought a stack of towels from [insert California-based guys here] and was sorely disappointed compared to my Mega Plush towels.

Thanks for hanging in there reader:
This Shout is for Poorboy’s Mega Plush and DMT Towels! Highly Recommended.
 
I haven't used anything of their's other than natural look but I am definitely interested in trying as many of their products as possible. They get a lot of love here and I trust the people here. Plus Pockets is active on here and that says a lot about what he loves to do and his love for the product and I don't see any (insert California based company) active here haha. I just wish I had more money to place more orders.
 
Poorboys makes some good stuff. Love their DMT's have a ton of them mostly green. I had tried so many others for more and less $ and decided that I should buy the DMTs on sale at their detail fest. I purchased a bunch (Ronny was there) BTW.

Their glazes are good if you need them and so it the tire dressing and my favorite product is the spray and wipe. Mostly for the smell............(kidding also very good performance).

Prices are just like you say. Fair for what you get.
 
Two of my favorite PB Products:

Poorboy’s World Bird Sh#t Remover
Poorboy’s World Glass Cleaner

As for the MFs, I love the UMTs. Work great for Waterless washes. UMTs are the only PB MFs that I have tried.
 
Poorboys has saved my butt numerous times when I'm stuck working in the sun. Their products should have a permanent place in any mobile detailers arsenal IMO.
 
Aw shucks ya'll are making me blush over here :redface:

:autopia: It really means a lot to have an awesome customer base!

I have a confession, we did make Polish w/ Carnauba Blue, Liquid Natty's Blue, and Natty's Red all single color labels but they are still very boring :lmfao:lol2:

I am constantly tugged between "dressing" up the line and labels to make them purdy like the others but I always go back to saying why spend more money on the label that will take away money from the product in the bottle! After all the prettier label the more expensive it is and the more money that needs to be made to pay for it. We keep it simple and give you a high quality (ugly label :D) product that is in everybody's budget :) I assure you they will not be pretty until we can figure out how to make them in the same price range as our labels now.

Also if you made it this far there may or may not be an addition/change to the DMT line in the near future all you DMT lovers :notme: ;)

And don't forget we run monthly specials on Microfiber and Pads at our Microfiber/Pad only site Ultra Finish Microfiber (Powered by CubeCart)

:yourrock all of you!

P.S. - The only reason the DMT's exist is because Steve went to our Microfiber mfg. and told them exactly what he wanted and said you tell me the price they are custom made and blended just for us, unlike most that go to the mfg. and tell them how much they want it for and how much they want to make on it.

Contact me for names! Seriously, you know it as well as me, the acronyms are confusing. Leave DMT alone and change Mega Plush to BMT. Meaning: Basic Mega Towel.
 
I have just started to look at there line. I am going to try them. Besides the way Ron's Vette looks, awesome, I am impressed with what I see. The biggest seller for me is the fact that you can use it in the sun. I am going to need that this year doing the semi trucks
 
I love the spray & wipe. No wax, no gloss enhancers. It is and will always be my permanent waterless wash.

Spray & Wipe was my first PB product and remains the only thing I buy by the gallon. Other products I like to play with and change up, but not S&W.
 
Pockets. Please do t change the DMT. (Not that is would effect me. I have a lifetime supply). This is the only towel I own that remains the same wash after wash after wash. Most of mine were purchased between 2008-2010 and they still perform flawlessly. I do grab more now and again and I am not even sure why. I have too many at this point. Lol. Too much is just enough. Right Ron.

The reason I purchase other towels at all is to see if there is anythig better. So far. I have not found it in anywhere close to the same price. I did like the Euroshag towels for QD on my soft black car but now that that is gone they do regular duty.

Can never have enough micro :redface:
 
I haven't used any of PB micros. Are they really that good? Are they only sold on their website?
 
The Ultra Mega Towel (UMT) is a great MF. I use it for Waterless or QD. It is advertised for wax or polish removal as well as final buffing. To my knowledge PB MFs are only sold through their website and store. I have not seen other detailing sites carry their MFs.

Poorboys website, and, check Pockets response, their Ultra Finish Micofiber website. I don't think the big online sellers have them, for whatever reason.

Everybody has different requirements and expectations, but the PB micros strike an excellent balance and the nap is perfect according to me. There's other great towels out there, of course.
 
I have roughly 200+ MF towels for various uses and the vast majority were bought from PB. 5+ years later they all work as well as they did originally. Also I have never bought a product from PB that did not live up to expectations, most far exceeded my expectations.
I hold Poorboy's products in high regard and the owner/representative in even higher regard.
Steve & Pockets will go out of their way to help you if it's on the phone or otherwise. In short....Top Notch People with Top Notch products, and both have extreme knowledge. What more could you ask for?
