Are any of the poorboys polishes worth the time, compare to others like merzerna, etc buy one get one free not bad deal, have to make wise choices with the economy the way it is. Any feed back welcomed. Thanks.
 
Buy one n get one, or maybe it's BINGO!
 
Poorboys line overall is great.

I am thinking of picking up the SSR2 and SSR1.

However I am slow to pull the trigger as the SSR2 is an "older" product.

Since SSR2 poorboys has updated with SSR2.5 and then theres the XMT products and based on my reading of a few posts here both may be easier to use with a PC than the SSR2.

That's what I am torn with right now. BOGO SSR2 with a little more work. Or one bottle of SSR2.5 or XMT2/360
 
I really like PB2.5, PB1, and PB3. Never used PB2. You can't beat the PB line for value for your dollar. As good as Menzerna? I guess that's a matter of opinion.

It seems like PB is just coming out with reformulations of SSR1 and SSR2. I never loved SSR2 especially when the 2.5 came out but now the new formulation may change my mind. SSRs = easy to use & great results & usually smell good :)
 
A couple of years ago, I bought my PC with the Poorboys kit. I have since invested a lot of money in Menz, but I think Poorboys is good to have on hand because you can work with it in direct sunlight. I believe Menz produces a glossier finish than Poorboys, but if have SSR 2.5 and SSR 1 on hand you will not regret it.
 
I used to have two bottles of SSR2.5, now I'm down to one bottle. It's a decent product and worth buying (BOGO or not), but it's not as good as the more expensive Menzernas. From my understand, Menzerna polishes do the best job of correcting and giving great gloss.
 
Yeah, just like all other Poorboy's products, you can polish in direct sunlight. And you don't have to prime the pad with a quick detailer or anything like that. Just shake the bottle well and apply some to the pad.

I'd just like to say that for those of you considering SSR2.5, I have never heard or read anything from Poorboy's World that allows you go from SSR2.5 straight to your LSP. SSR2.5 and Orange Pads leave hazing, micro-marring, and the paint too dark. The directions on the SSR2.5 bottle say to use SSR2.5 and then go to SSR1, then Pro Polish, then LSP. You can skip the Pro Polish step but SSR1 and White Pads are needed to make the paint LSP-ready.

Based on a previous thread priming the pad with QD and SSR2 product caused some dusting. So it was suggested to not prime pad before using SSR2.

While you don't prime the pad with a QD, you still should prime the pad with the polish itself. You want to get the pad lubed before polishing ... some of the polish smeared on the pad will do the trick.
