    Details & Review.......

    This will be a short write up. This mainly a review two products that are main staples in my business now. I've been looking for a system that will both benefit me and my customers when it comes to my wash/wax packages. I truly believe that in order to get the durability and look out of any wax/sealant, you must clean the paint. Then comes the time and cost of polishing. This is where an All-in-One comes in. One of the myths is that an AIO will not last as long as a stand alone LSP. I too have seen this. The solution? Lock in the protection with a product that will even give more protection. This takes care of the customer, but what about the detailer? The application system needs to be fast and efficient.

    Here's is what I've came up with........

    I can wash and vacuum almost any bi-weekly SUV in less than one hour. My goal was to add only 25 more minutes for a DURABLE protection session.

    The Tools
    (Cyclo Polisher with EDGE2K Green/White Combo Pads)

    The Chemicals
    (Poorboy's Polish with Sealant & Optimum's Opti-Seal)


    First I polish the entire vehicle with PwS. This includes all glass and roof. I do the entire vehicle first before removing in the same matter of application. I do use a damp MF towel to clean my pads with half way through this process. I simply fold to towel over and place it on my tailgate. I then push the Cyclo and pads onto the towel and turn the machine on.

    After removing the PwS, I flip the pads over to the white sides. I spray one pump of Opti-Seal (OS) onto each pad. I then place the pads onto the hood and while in place, turn the machine on. I'm just loading (priming) the pad here. I then use 2-3 sprays to finish the vehicle with. This includes the roof. I then take one of the pads off and protect the wheels. Just because you can't feel the dampness of the OS on the pads does not me that it's not there. Remember, there is no removal of Opti-Seal. It simply vanishes if done correctly.

    Here are two that I did about 2 weeks ago. I saw them today after a rain and it looked like they had just been washed.

    The cleaning power of Poorboy's Polish with Sealant.

    2006 Mercury Mariner.......







    Did I mention how well the glass looked?

    Seems like a good plan. I don't know much about the opti-seal. I'll have to read up on it.

    I washed my car this weekend (I did a review of the PB SS&Wax). Well, it rained like a biblical flood yesterday and now the car looks like hell.

    i like that set up. i am not a huge fan of Opti-seal, i find that It dosent last as long as i would like, however this system for a bi-weekly or a montly customer would be great. I might have to steal it from you.
    thanks for sharing

    As always, impressive results Justin. Did you get close to the 25 minute goal? I've always had to use a lot more time with PB PwS on the PC but do like it.

    That's a very smart idea, Justin. Time and cost efficient. What's the expected durability of protection on this? Around 3 months?

    Holy crap! I was starting to give up on seeing another "justinized" vehicle....glad to see YOU'RE BACK!! Welcome back bro....

    Oh, nice combo. I really like PWS......disappears very quickly, works great. Very similar to XMT360, with just a hair less correcting ability. I just did my newly acquired blazer with 360/optiseal........it looks amazing.

    Good write up

    I just washed it with a stiff wash.........dawn and purple power combo. Since PwS cleans the paint, it was that was needed.

    Got this process done in about 28 minutes. Took some pics in there too. That's plenty fast enough for me.
