A Quick & Easy on the Nasty Rental . . .

After driving this rental CR-V for a month, I decided this afternoon that I could not stand the swirls, hazing, marring & water spots any longer. I decided to give the sample of Poorboys PwS a try with the Edge 2K Orange (Light Cut) pad to see what improvement I could make before my knee & shoulder told me to stop.

First a few befores . . .










The paint felt like sand paper & when wiped with a micro fiber, you could hear it catching on the fibers, so claying was definitely needed. I used lots of Poorboy's S & W as lube, and an old clay bar that I had set aside for wheels. It is now so full of contaminants that it is in the trash!!

Then I hit it with the PwS on the orange pad, spread at 2 & bumped up to 5. I made lots of slow passes with moderate to heavy pressure. When I checked the hood, I couldn't believe the improvement. I had planned to step down to a polishing pad, but I was so pleased with these results that I listened to my knee & shoulder & called it a day.










Thanks, Steve, I think you've got a winner here!!

Great work! You're too nice haha, tell us the reaction of the company you rented the car off when you take it back, they should be very happy

they never recognize the difference. Been detailing every rental car I have had since the late 80's. I cannot stand to drive those dirty cars. Never found one yet that even had water in the window washer tank.
