Poorboy's Spray and Wipe
I finally had a good opportunity to experiment with Poorboy's Spray and Wipe product today and I must say, I'm VERY impressed.
This product topped Boss's favorite products of 2003 list that was posted in a thread earlier this year. Immediately, I knew I was missing something so, I compiled a $100 order to Premium Auto Care including the S&W.
Today's situation was caused by a heavy coating of dust from a jobsite where I was doing some work. The US Army Corp of Engineers Louisville Division is in the process of having an essential Lock and Dam rebuilt along the Ohio River. Naturally, my client is generating a large amount of dust and, after sitting down there for several hours, my truck had a VERY thick coating.
At this point, I figured I had two options. The first would be to simply wash the truck... the second, to give this product that had been sitting in my closet a whirl. Fortunately, I had thought about this before going down there so, I had the S&W in the truck with me...
Well, I bit the bullet and tried it.
This product is marketed towards those instances where you don't feel comfortable using a detailing spray because the vehicle is too dirty but, it's not so dirty that you want to give it a full wash.
I reluctantly drove the vehicle offsite and found a parking lot where it was sunny (another plus for this product... it can be used in direct sunlight and on a hot truck... it contains NO wax).
I sprayed it on with a light mist from the bottle and allowed it to sit for a few moments (less than a minute) and then proceeded to wipe the truck down. Instantly, I noticed that the S&W seemed to 'lift' the individual grains of dust up and off of the vehicle's paint. This, of course, will help to prevent scratching (swirls/spider marks). I wiped the vehicle down and **BAM** I couldn't believe how good it worked...
This would've been an instance where I wouldn't have even given a thought to Meguiar's Final Detail spray... I would've washed the truck...
The price is right too... 32 oz for $10 is more than worth it. I only utilized about 1.5 oz to do my entire truck.
Kudos to Poorboy's for a great product and finding a niche in the market that is relatively untouched! Poorboy's S&W will always be in my vehicle!
Check it out, you won't be upset!

I used S&W this morning before heading out to work as I had a light 'spray' on my truck from a late light rain yesterday morning before the soccer games that I had to referee....
Anyway, after using the S&W, I noticed a very slight haze that was easily removed by going back over it with a MF. Further, I went back over the entire vehicle with FD with a MF...
Anyone else seen that slight haze? That's the VERY first time I've ever seen it and I'm just wondering what I was seeing...
