Should Be a Fun Spring Cleaning
 
Just got a fresh supply of the following:

Duragloss Car Wash Concentrate (CWC) #901
16oz. Poorboys Black Hole
16oz Poorboy's World Liquid Natty's Blue Wax

To use once the winter is done with along with my PC7424XP :) Not sure if anyone has used any Poorboy's products but I have heard some great things from them. I will post up some pics and review when the time comes.

Well i only bought the 16oz bottles for now just to try....it is advertised as "super concentrated" so I hope it lasts me a month or three assuming I wash every week. The total of the stuff I listed cost me 50 bucks.

Saves weight! Lol. JK.

Oh and paimon.soror... Have you tried Menzerna polishes? They're amazing. Poor Boys is good too, but I personally have never used them. Menzerna just amazes me everytime I use their polishes.

I need to hone my polishing skills this spring. Last year I made my poor car have holograms all over :mad:

Yes to Polishing. I've been rying to get the f-ing swirl marks out of my car like an insane person.

I even went to LOWE's and bought: http://www.lowes.com/pd_36866-79992-...uantity_sold|1
http://images.lowes.com/product/conv...11086516lg.jpg

When I put on the bonnet to polish, turned on and gave it a test drive, it flew off and hit my neighbor's window (30 feet away). Never seen an old woman run so fast to see what hit it.

I aptly returned the porter, after trying to polish the hood.

Im going to wait until Mcquires's dual action comes back out again. April is coming, but not soon enough.

paimon.soror 03-03-2011 02:01 PM

Lol well first off, thats NOT a polisher, thats a freaking grinder and you should probably punch yourself in the face for trying to polish your car with that. What you need is an orbital polisher like the 7424XP like I have and HIGHLY recommend.

http://www.autogeek.net/po.html

Dual clutched system with secure counter weight. Prevents burn in on the paint and still has enough power to apply polishes and more abrasive swirl removers and also low power for applying waxes.

RogueTadhg 03-06-2011 10:26 AM

I blame advanced auto parts. :P

Seriously though, i already learned my lession scouring the various sites like the one you listed. Im not too worried about the paint on my car, actually. I plan on repainting it so im taking my beginner's mistakes on what i have now. Brilliant Black Mica :D
