After seeing and hearing all the posts on here about Poorboys products i am thnking about picking some up....What would you recomend to replace or compliment #9, AIO/SG, #16?
 
#9 would be either SSR1 or 2, depending on how severe of marring you're used to using #9 on.

AIO/SG would be PwC/EX or EX-P, depending on preference of look-"warm" or "clear".

#16 would be Natty's Wax.
 
I should add that I have two cars, both dark reds that are fairly new and have the usual mionor swirling. Alsno note that I do everyhting by hand right now
 
The poorboy ssr line is the most user friendly pure polishes ive used so far. I dont think you can go wrong with them.
 
I elect either 2 or 2.5. They both break down pretty well but you are likely to need a finer polish with the 2.5. 2.5 has better swirl removing capability though.
 
At the moment I like 2.5 better than DACP for swirl removal. But I haven't tested 2.5 a whole lot (I had a sample). I'll be ordering this spring.
 
I think 2.5 is one of the best products on the market!I really mean that. As for the PB line it speaks for itself. Every product he makes is a QUALITY product that works well, not to mention Steve is a Class act. don't like the product get yourself a refund. Have a problem with the product he will e mail you within 1/2 day most times. Need I say more
 
Poorboy's has EXCELLENT products. I do not think a line of products could be more user friendly, and the results are great.
 
Definitely 2.5...many of us bought SSR 1 & 2.5 together, but if you have a half dozen paint polishes/cleaners like I do then you could skip SSR 1...
 
In most cases you can go straight from SSR2.5 to a paint cleaner in prep for sealant or carnauba. I have noticed slight marring from it at times but overall, it breaks down to a fine enough polish that SSR1 is not needed.
 
Meguiar's #9 would be similar to SSR2.

AIO/SG would be similar to using PWC, and then top it with EX-P.

Meguiar's #16 would be similar to Natty's wax.
 
I've used both SSR1 and 2, plus the Polish w/carnauba, EX w/carnauba, EX-P, Natty's Paste and Spray and Wipe. All are quality products and work great!



BTW, my experience is that EX is a bit more durable than EX-P.
 
You can't go wrong with Steve's products. PWC can't be beat for a one step product. I've tried megs gold class and other one step products and I keep coming back to PWC. Easy on/off, can be used in the sun, and just great results keep me using poorboy's. I also have ssr1/ssr2 and s&w. As of lately, all I've been using is poorboy and clearkote products.

Where does 2.5 rank among abrasiveness when you compare it to DACP, is it more powerful? Do the PB SSR break down easily like Meg's? If you use 2.5 do you still need to finish up with #80 or something similar? When I look at the descriptions of SSR they all look the same.



Would you SSR 3, than 2.5 than VM?

I would rate them fairly equal.



DACP doesn't break down as quickly or as much it seems. This can be good and bad.



As for following up with a lighter polish...it breaks down but not that much. I'd still follow it up with a pre-polish or glaze. If I was in a pinch for time skipping the middle step wouldn't be horrible...just...I don't detail a car too often anymore so it's a "why not" step. :nixweiss
 
Autonova- If you are using 2.5 with a rotary it breaks down very quickly (ssr3 does too) and you can get a ready to wax finish from them, without having to go to a lighter polish (MOST of the time). agree with Mr. Spank when comparing the two polishes for abrasiveness.

SSR3 you can feel the abrasives in it if you rub you fingers together, but it breaks down very fast.
 
Onlight to moderate swirling can you go from DACP with a rotary to putting down VM orColorX or should you use a paint cleaner like P21s first?
