First off, thanks to Autogeek for allowing me to test this product. I was chosen at random to review the new liquid wax from Poorboy's World and was excited. After a little trouble with the product initially, testing was on.
Round 1
Product: Poorboy's World Liquid Natty's Blue
Product Type: Liquid Wax
Scent: Bubblegum
Price: Free for testing, $19.99 available to the public
Prep: My prep work started with a wash using 3oz. Duragloss 901 then clay using Mother's OTC clay kit. After a drying the vehicle, I wiped the car down with a body solvent named "Take Off" (brand name withheld), followed by a water wipedown.
Application: Passenger side of car received a heavy coat of LNB to simulate the average Joe that doesn't know how to properly apply products, driver side received a proper thin coat. Allowed product to haze and sit for about 30 minutes.
Removal: A pain in the butt. The product was sticking to the paint, excessive dust found it's way into door jams and around door handles. I was not happy. In fact I must have sent CEE DOG at least 10 pm's telling him how mad I was and how much I hated the product. Sorry Corey.
Durability: The very next day the paint was sticky, not slick at all, water was not beading very well. The week ahead consisted of off and on rain showers and high humidity. My drive to work is 150 miles one way which makes an excellent time for testing against road grime and such.
Conclusion: I hated this stuff. I contacted Pockets and asked if their test environment was subjected to high humidity and he kindly informed me that it was very high and also asked if I would give it another try. After some thinking I agreed to his request. I also thought heavily about my prep stage and questioned myself many, many times.
Round 2
Product: Poorboy's World Liquid Natty's Blue
Product Type: Liquid Wax
Scent: Bubblegum
Price: Free for testing, $19.99 available to the public
Prep: Prep this time consisted of 3oz. DG 901, 3oz. Meg's APC+, then a body solvent wipedown, followed by 2 91% IPA wipedowns, and a water wipedown. I also wanted to use Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer on an area to see if that assisted with application.
Application: The passenger side received the heavy application to simulate average Joe again and the driver side received the proper thin coat. One area of the car received assistance from Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer making it an absolute breeze to apply. Allowed product to haze and sit for over an hour.
Removal: 100 times easier. Not sure what happened the first time, my guess is the body solvent but I was recently informed that it should have evaporated. Who knows? Still some dusting but nothing like the first time which was very weird.
Durability: The next day my paint was as smooth as a baby's bottom. I was happy at this point. After 3 weeks the beading was still present but not as strong, I adjusted this with a Duragloss Aqua Wax booter session.
Conclusion: This product is very affordable, somewhat easy to use, and durability is not too bad but could be better. I would recommend this to someone on a budget. If you have the extra $20 then I recommend Pinnacle Liquid Souveran if you're wanting a liquid wax.
Pro's: Affordable, great smell, pretty good product
Con's: After 3 weeks I was still wiping off residue, both from the heavily applied side and the properly applied side. Too much dust for me.
Once again, thanks to Autogeek for allowing me to test this product, thanks to Pockets for instantly responding to my pm's, and thanks to Poorboy's World to allow members of this community to test this product free of charge.
Thanks,
