there is better stuff out there than poorboys....Try 1Z or Wolfgang
wytstang said:For the most part it's Paint Prep > Product that said Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant knocked Nattys Blue to the lower shelf for me. Menzerna polish stomped Poorboys and Optimum for me. Poorboys is a very solid line of detailing product. Greg before Nattys use some PB Polish w/Carnuaba for some really nice results.
wytstang said:Megs Mirror glaze line has some nice offerings, actually the Mirror glaze line is way ahead of the NXT and other line they sell in stores. Another great OTC detailing line is Duragloss autogeek staring carrying them http://www.autogeek.net/duragloss.html but Napa, Parks Auto and O'Rielys can get them as well (no shipping fee to boot). So far the only product I heard sucked was the wax, everything else folks have been very happy with.
wytstang said:Nope I'm more of a weekend warrior who's in up the his head with detailing products & knowledge. It's a hobby of mine and I've gotten very very good at it. I use different companies for different jobs. I use Optimum, Poorboys World, Wolfgang, Pinnacle, DP, Lake Counrty pads, and Megs.
The reasons I recommended Optimums over anything else is because of price per ounce. Since your doing large amounts of vehicles price becomes more of a factor. Poorboys polishes (using a buffer) dust so after your done buffing you have to go back and clean up. Time is money no need to waste it if you can avoid it. I have to go to work so if I can think of anything else to add I will.GREG@SN95 said:Yeah... Well I run my own detailing business... and its gotten very successful very fast... All the methods I use are great, I got that down pat... I was learned by a man thats been doing this stuff 40+ years...
But I don't know what the best products to use are... What would you recomend?
Generally, our full detail consists of...
Claybar-Claymagic Blue clay; Claymagic owns ALL the righs to clay in the U.S so basiclly all the clay comes from one place. Mind you company can have there clayed tweaked to the spec to they are not 100% alike.
Compound, (if needed)-Expensise but Menzerna Super Intensive Polish is magic in a bottle, But if your working in the sun Optimum's Hypercompound/Compound do a fine job in the sun. The draw back is Optimum using quick a bit more oils that make for longer working time to break the polish down.
Meguires pro mirror finish glaze/polish-For a true Glaze Clearkote Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze is my go to glaze. It also contains very very light cleaners/abressives. For a true Polish Optimum's did a nice job.
Meguires pro mirror finish wax (smells like bananas)-Megs #26 synthetic blend wax is a great offering. Good looks with decent durability. If you want a carnuaba wax that is bullet proof and last a very very long time Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax #845 can be found in a Marine shop. It can go through the nastiest winter (with heavy raod salt) and still protect the paint like a champ at the end of winter.
Then we top it off with some Natty's blue paste (bubble gum)
The Natty's is for dark colored cars, but holy crap does it do a fine job on silver too...
Any recommendations are appreciated...
