I shake the container a second time and spray the whole upper part of the vehicle and one side. I'll wash that side with my mit, rinsing my mit out every so often. I rinse it off. Spray the other side including the front and rear, wash with the mit and than rinse.

Voila, done.

I also recommend buying the foam gun soap that Auto Geek sells for their foam gun. It's leaps and bounds better than say Meguairs Gold Class. It's expensive but I find I don't need to have another bucket of soap, it provides more than enough lubrication for the surface.

Ok here I go again. So you spray the top left half of your truck's roof than rinse off, than you do the same thing for the right half of the roof. If so, once your done with the roof do you dry it off or do you wait until your done with the whole truck?

I usually dry the roof before doing the rest to try and prevent water spots. Usually I get spray on it again after doing the rest, so I just go back and blot off the excess.

Lately I've been doing the roof last out of sheer laziness.

As long as you keep it wet, it shouldn't matter either way.

Once I put the foam on the roof, should I go over it with my mitt of just rinse the foam off and dry it.

I guess it would depend how dirty it is. Mine is usually just dusty, so just foaming then rinsing may get the job done. I'd probably use your mitt regardless unless you're in a hurry.

Poorboy's has a solid product line that is well respected within the detailing circles. www.poorboysworld.com

Like all lines out there, there are great products and duds within them and that, of course, is a subjective opinion. I use several of their products but don't care for one or two that I've tried. Ultimately, it'll be up to the end user to determine if the product is for them.

Ahh well, It lived a good life. haha

And if anyone remembers my loose MF towells on the shelf... You'll be glad to know they are all now safely sealed in clean rubber made containers. Far away from contaminants that may scratch my paint
