Review: Poorboy's World Super Slick & Wax Car Shampoo & Bio-Degradable All Purpose Cleaner and Degreaser
Like many I have been skeptical of using a soap with wax. Some say it works great, other say it's a waste, so I was of course non-plussed by the whole debate. But, like Trhland, I'm a car soap addict and I like to try different ones. So, I bought a bottle of the PB SS & Wax.
Review
My car was not very dirty, it rained twice this week, but both days it was in the garage. I washed it last week so it only had a week's worth of road dust.
First I started with the wheels. My wheels were not very dirty. It seems like the PB Wheel Sealant is holding up well and helping to keep my wheels from getting really dirty.
Tools for the wheels: EZ Brush, black Schmitt and a Meguiar's Tire brush.
I poured some PB SS & W in a bucket and added the water. A nice head of foam appeared making me think it was time for a beer. But I pressed on! I used the PB Bio-Degradable All Purpose Cleaner and Degreaser (PB APC) on the wheel wells and tires.
Bucket after washing 2 wheels:
I tried the PB APC diluted 50/50 and straight. I did not notice a discernible difference between the mixes but then the wheel wells were not very dirty so I will have to experiment another day.
For washing the car I used: PB SS & W, AG Foam Gun, White/Yellow Shmitt, Black Shmitt, Leaf Blower with Air Wand attachment.
The soap made a decent foam, nothing like DP Extreme Foam and less than the he PB Super Slick Shampoo. I also noticed that the soap seemed to break-down faster. However, it was very slick and had good cleaning ability. The thing that struck me the most was that the leaf blower took the water off easier that it ever has before. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I think the wax portion of the soap made the water roll off with the air blower more efficiently. I did not have to use a guzzler or even an MF towel afterwards!
I finished with a QD of Clearkote QuikShine and a Cobra Jr. MF.
I really like the PB SS & Wax. I think it worked great on a car that was not very dirty and it left a nice clean surface. I would not use this soap if I were going to clay and polish the car. But for a weekly wash this seems like a great soap to use.
The jury is still out on the PB Bio-Degradable All Purpose Cleaner and Degreaser. Since the wheel wells were not very dirty I was not able to really test this product. It seemed to work fine mixed 50/50. I'm eager to try it again.

Cleaning Tire (Tyre for you UK Chaps)
The soap was great. It cleaned up the wheels nicely. I assume however that any wax left behind will dissipate as soon as I drive the car more than a few miles.

We don't have many people around here on the farm that wear them. I can't tell what is on them, it must be some new style.
. My wife loves to buy the Jibbitz. I have a hammer, drill, Jaguar face, Jaguar paw, and other stuff. She has a bunch of ones on hers as does our 6 year old.
. Super slick and wax seems like an interesting product. BTW your Jaguar is looking insanely wet!
