Had my 1st experience with my recently purchased fine grade sponge yesterday when I did my wife's car. I do the car twice a yr, so the paint is usually in pretty good shape. The fine sponge handled the minor contaminants with ease. I mixed the Glide 7:1 like the instructions said, but wasn't...

WDGPS & Menzerna Power Lock. Love 'em both.

I don't own a shop, I just do between 10 & 20 cars a year for whomever asks. About 3 wks ago this guy a couple doors down asked me to detail the '15 Camaro SS he'd bought. So I did it for him, & charged him $175. When he was picking it up he asked me how much I'd charge to wash it when it gets...

For several years I used nothing but Poorboy's. Always had good luck with them, & I really like their products. I got away from their compounds, polishes & sealants a few years ago, but still use Bold n Black, Natural Look Dressing, Leather Stuff, Wheel Sealant, Black Hole, Natty's waxes, Spray...

Time to get my own cars ready for winter. For my Tuxedo Black Fusion Sport I decided to go back in time a little & use Poorboy's. It had some minor swirling from the summer, so after claying I hit it with PB's SSR1. Man, I forgot how much I liked this polish. It took care of the swirls with...

Wow, 3 pages & no one has recommended Mr. Clean Magic Erasers? I learned about them on here & have had excellent luck with them!

Customer brought me this '14 GT after he'd removed the stripes. However, there was plenty of leftover adhesive for me to play with! After a LOT of rubbing & half a bottle of Goo Gone, it was time to work on the paint. Paint wasn't bad, but had the usual swirls. I'd wanted to experiment with my...

I finally gave up & just apply by hand with the little yellow foam hand pads.

Thanx! I taped the stripes off while I was polishing, & just sprayed them with Poorboy's Spray & Wipe when I was done.

Guy a couple of doors down from me just got this car. He didn't know me, but said he always saw me out in my garage rubbing on cars! He had me look at it & it was most definitely swirl city. After washing I clayed it, then made several passes w/Menzerna 400, then finished w/my old bottle of...

Thanx! I used 2 or 3 good old white LC CCS & my long-throw machine. I was amazed because I was definitely planning on 2-stepping it.

I 1-stepped this Kia Optima with FG400 last year. Not by design, but when I finished with FG400 I was completely happy. Couldn't see hitting it with SF4000, so I topped it with Power Lock & called it a day.

I do my 2 daily drivers twice a year. Once before winter & once after. I'll clay, compound if necessary, polish, & seal. WDGPS 3.0 is one of the sealants I use, with Menz PL being the other. I'll throw a coat of carnauba on top every couple of months as a refresher.

Excellent work on a gorgeous car!

I'm an experienced Fuzion user, so here's my question: What advantages are there in having a spray version? Easier to use? Would the 16 oz bottle last longer than the 3 oz Fuzion sampler? My 3 oz sampler of Fuzion is almost gone, so I'm wondering which to buy?

I love Menzerna polishes, but they're pretty oily. I'm surprised no one has chimed in about doing a wipedown with CarPro Eraser, or a water/IPA mix. before applying Power Lock.

Power Lock is a sealant, & sealants last a lot longer than carnauba. Power Lock is an excellent sealant, pretty much my go-to sealant. I have Color Lock, & I'll top Power Lock with it from time to time. I like topping sealant with wax. Some say it doesn't add anything, others argue it does. I've...

I go to the one in Indy every year, & many of the cars are swirl city. Last year there was a collection of classic Fords, including a beautiful 69 Mach 1 with raised "brown" letters on the T/A radials. I thought "Good God, man, clean your tires!

I haven't used the new 3500 & 3800, but I believe they're the same as 4000 & 4500, which I have used. They're both superb finishing polishes, but 3500 at least has a little bit of cut. 3500 is probably more versatile because you'll at least be able to correct some imperfections.

Thanx, Mike, & will do. I've owned this car for 4 years, & never did it with Wolfgang before. I usually use WG on my wife's red Cadillac SRX. But I did use WG on the black 2009 Mustang GT I owned before the Shelby, & I remembered it responding well. But it actually had better paint than the...
