Re: Will Poorboys Professional Polish
Clean panels well?
Have you thought about using one of the new dr. beaseley's finishing primer polishes and ceramic coating the truck. Your maintenance will be a lot easier and you won't have to polish so often. Just an option.

Re: Will Poorboys Professional Polish
Clean panels well?
I did ceramic a while back. I just felt like there was a level of uncertainty for me. Like the paint has to be ultra clean for the bond. When I wash it, I like to use something on the paint afterwards, BSD, Beadmaker, Aquawax etc. And over time it doesn't feel right to not put something on the paint like a sealant every 6 mths.
I guess it's a mental thing and I know there is something on the paint ( ceramic coating ) and doing it once and done but applying a sealant every 4-6 months and knowing something is there but diminishing.

stains, embedded dirt etc. I think Professional Polish
on a white LC pad should be good. And I also want
to clean the paint for the best chance of sealant to
bond/lay down well.
•IMO:
-Poorboy’s Professional Polish will clean
paint/panels quite well.
•In fact...(as far as I’m aware of):
-”cleaning the paint” is at least one of
the purposes behind every car polish’s
fundamental characteristics/qualities.
•Also, IMO:
-Your attempts at saving as much of your vehicle’s
CC as possible by using not-very-abrasive polishes
is a noble effort.
-Using products such as 3M IHG to “clean the paint”,
would be more in the not-very-abrasive polish
ballpark, than ‘Professional Polish’. {YMMV}

No need to put a wax or sealant over the coating. Simple wash and the drying aid of your choice. Beadmaker is a favorite for those wanting to top their coatings. I just listened to a podcast (i forget which one) and it was mentioned that beadmaker can extend the life of a coating by 1.5 years using it as a drying aid. As I mentioned your maintenance will be a lot less and you won't be touching the paint that often.

Guz, it's just that when I install it, I have my doubts that I did it correctly. Even though I'm pretty sure I did, there is always a bit in my head that I did it right

Wow.
I remember a thread about BM as a coating topper, and commenting that it would "be funny if this worked" as a cheaper alliterative.
What is your take on this, Mike?

Just a suggestion and I have faith that you can apply it successfully to protect the paint for a longer period of time. Especially with the ease of use of coatings these days.

I never got sucked into the beadmaker bandwagon and have not used it to this day. It does contain a little SiO2 in the formula from what I have heard. Just not advertised. I imagine the same thing can be done with most coating maintenance products.

Klasse AIO is also a great non-abrasive paint cleaner.
