Post Your Detailing Collection

I'll be cutting most of the Poorboy's line except for the Polish with Sealant, Pro Polish, Leather Stuff and Natural Look. Going to keep ordering 105, 205, ONR and play around with different waxes. I haven't found the "keeper" in tire shine/protectants yet. All my cleaners and car wash concentrates come from a guy that I met along the way who manufactures that type of stuff. I get it dirt cheap and it works as good as anything I've tried. I continually look for the right products for the right price.
have you tried the new poorboy tire gel they say they have now in AG selling? i havent but in the description sounds like a good tire shine i personally think a gel tire shine is better than a liquid one they often dry faster than a gel product a lot of people say it depends on your tires the tire shine would look good
 
It's discontinued I'm looking for something similar.
Il send you a sample of the milky we use at my work is GREAT!!!! it gives dark leather seats color and dark vinyl color THAT WET LOOK!!!!! i love using it in black leather seats and smoky vinyl colors all tho for the vinyl i recommend a spray better than milky u wont be dissapointed with the milky il send youIm the MAN

My pressure washer dealer also sells car detailing stuff and I have no clue if its any good. I am leery about using their cutting compounds, sealants etc...

No I haven't tried the gel version of Bold & Bright yet. The original (liquid) version of B&B is my favorite water based product so far but I am playing around with Opti-Bond right now for customer's cars. I am about to get a Harbor freight 12 volt airbrush compressor/air brush kit to try applying it with.

My guy only has cleaning products but he does have a one step polish/protectant type of product that falls short of providing the type of quality finish I am after. I will stick with PWS, 105 and 205. I've been through a ton of different swirl removers and have finally got through the learning curve with the Megs Twins. I haven't used anything that produces a nicer finish faster.

i am confuse let me see if i am getting you , so you are getting a airbrush kit to apply water based solvent tire shine???
 
oh yeaaaaaaaaaaa i remember now about 4 years ago one of the places i work at we would apply meguiar water based solvent tire shine with an air brush :dblthumb2: I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGH OF THIS!!!! i am getting a air compressor of 30 gallons later on for my 3m orbital sander so i might as well take advantage of my compressor to spray tire shine too :dblthumb2: wat tools would i need to make this happen other than a compressor? what air brush you recommend? you dont want the tip to wide or ul be spraying tire shine all over the side panels:buffing:
 
A detail gun may work better. Been using the airbrush but when doing engines and spraying fabric gaurd it constantly needs to be refilled.
 
What's the orifice size on the air brush setup you're looking at? I just wonder how that might compare to the Optimum Spray Gun.
I haven't really even started looking yet. I just had a vision of a small 12 volt tankless air brush compressor with a motorcycle battery attached to it and a docking area inside my van where it can be charged from time to time. It's just a vision or idea at this point.

Sounds like a cool concept... it'll be interesting to see what you come up with!

Just curious though, why not power the compressor with the van's electrical system or an inverter? Just leave the van running while you use it.

Mainly because I like making cool little gadgets but there are plenty of situations where I could see me wanting to use it on a whim, like when trying to sell a detail to a guy in the local mini mart parking lot. Couldn't you see me jumping out like a detailing pit crew member and buzzing around a perspective client's car giving him a free tire shine.Im the MAN:buffing: :laughing: I guess for the same reason anyone would buy a cordless drill.

That would be awesome! Using the "hobo jumping out into the street to clean your windows" approach to marketing. :props:
