Hey I just got a bunch of Poorboys stuff, and I'm really impressed with it.

I used to use the Meguires, it's good, but this is better.
It's easy to apply and shines better.
I also like how you can use all they're stuff in direct sunlight.

I got the
Wash concentrate
polish for light and dark colors
Natty's wax light/dark
trim restorer
tire shine
and Spray and gloss.

Got it from autogeek.com.
Micro's were on sale too.

I love the Spray and Gloss - Sometimes I drink a little....
Trim detailer also works great.
love the wash.


My car's all tore down, so here's my friends cobra we did last week.

I can never tell the difference. All the products that I have used seem to work the same for me.

I've been meaning to try the Poorboys stuff. Like you I have been a Meguiars user for years. How was the pricing on autogeek.com compared to SMP?

pricing seemed good to me. 8-15 bucks depending on what it was.

Definately try the natty's wax and Spray&Gloss.
been really happy with it.

ordered the wheel sealer and some other stuff I gotta try out soon.

I wasn't impressed with the tire shine.
everything else is great.


Right now there's a good sale on PB stuff here:

Did a few other cars, also tried the EX sealer wax.
These cars had some overspray on them, so I clayed it off and put on the poor boys with some PC love.

check it out.

Clay, polish and nattys on this one.

These BMW's had a lot of overspray on them.
The EX made a nice shine, and it's supposed to last up to 6 months. :biggrin:

The silver I polished with medium, then fine, then EX.

After that was a Black Beamer.
Y'all know black shows everything.
So it had alot of OS on it, and alot of swirl marks.

I polished it 3x, could use some more, but turned out good.

Natty's Blue and EX-P are the staples in my detailing arsenal. Not sure what I did before I joined Autopia!
