I'm just getting into the higher quality products for detailing so i was wondering if you could make sure im on the right track. I was thinking use clay bar first, the polish with poorboys pro polish, then finish up with poorboys pwc. Does that sound right? Also can you apply poorboys pp by hand or should i use a buffer. Thanks for the help. Also where is the best place to order poorboys from or if there are any other products that you would highly recommend.
 
As long as you start out with a wash first, I think you're headed in the right direction. You can apply those polishes by hand, but the desired results will take a lot longer to achieve. Without seeing pictures of what you'll be working with and not knowing your experience or what detailing tools you have on hand, I have a hard time giving exact advice. You can order through Poorboy's World directly or could also try to use one of our sponsors. Most offer a discount to members here, and have great customer service.
 
I have a snap on air buffer......eventually i think that i will get a pc. As far as experience, i repainted a truck when i was 16 and have a little experience with light sanding and buffing with some auto magic clear coat cleaner. I just want to get more into really detailing. I figured that i would start with pbpp b/c it doesn't sound like it is too aggressive and maybe work up to the more aggressive products as needed. Also i was wondering if pb pwc is a good finisher or should i us ex?

A little more information would be helpful ;) What is the condition of your paint? What are you trying to do to the finish? ie remove swirls, clean the paint..etc.. What kind of pads do you have for the buffer? What color is your vehicle?

Personally i would follow Pro Polish with either EX-P or EX depending on color of the vehicle and then possibley top with Natty's or Natty's Blue:)
 
hear hear what poorboy just said. used the nattys blue the other day. put 2 coats on in as many days, i'm totally impressed. it does live up to the hype.:yay
 
Well my vehicle is in pretty good shape. Minor scratches and swirls. Basically what i'm looking for is something to just keep it looking "new" when i detail it. I have a silver birch metallic truck and a black car. I don't want to be a pain in the butt by asking a bunch of questions but i'm just trying to gain a bit more knowledge about this stuff. What would you recommend for a PC and what types of pads for starting out, then what kind of polish? Thanks.

Then you original plan sounds good, Pro Polish and then EX would be a good choice. You can skip the Polish w/ Carnauba. I'd use a polishing pad with the Pro Polish and a finishing pad with the EX:)
