Poorboy’s Pro Polish is one of the most underrated detailing products on the market. It is a chemical cleaner that can clean the paint before your sealant or wax, it’ll clean chrome, glass, metals, plastic, etc. It’ll do everything. It can even remove wet sanding marks. Pretty impressive for a chemical cleaner!
So to clear up any misunderstandings that a chemical polish can’t remove sanding marks, I decided to do this test. I went out to my Dad’s company car with my HF rotary, a wool cutting pad, Poorboy’s Pro Polish, a few MFs, S&W and 2000 grit sandpaper. Just a heads up that the pictures are not that great… the sun was playing tricks and halogens and the Brinkmann don’t show swirls that well outdoors.

All sanding marks gone (a few holograms though):

After some Optimum Polish and polishing pad to clear any holograms = finished results:

So there you have it… a cleamical polish removing sanding marks. As I said above Pro Polish is very versatile and if you don’t want to use it as a defect remover you may want to look into using it as a paint cleaner. To show it’s fullest potential I wrote on my Jeep with a Sharpie, let it dry and then proceded to remove it with PB PP:

So this is my latest test with pictures. Hope I helped you understand a product you may not have tried before. I will admit that I don’t use PP all that often but I need to work it into my regime in the future more because it is simply a great product!
