    Poorboy's Spray and Wipe waterless...

    Can someone tell me how to use this thing? I spray it on, let it sit for a couple of seconds, and wipe it off with a microfiber towel? I use it when I have waterspots sitting on my car or when there's bird poop. It just seems to leave a haze...

    You've got to go back and wipe it dry with the other side of the towel.

    One towel to wipe the surface clean......another towel to wipe it dry.

    I agree. The waterless do leave a slight haze. I just go back over the panel with a real light spray/wipe dry like using a QD. Like others said using a dry towel. My waterless wipe towels are usually pretty wet in short order (maybe too much product, but I get nervous).

    You've got to get it clean, before you wipe it dry (same concept as a rinseless, you shouldn't be getting any dirt on the drying towel, if you are, you need to clean more before you dry).

    So, as alluded to above, you need to do a final wipe with a clean/dry towel or side of the towel after you've used enough to get things clean.

    You sound very much like a shill for your first post. How could you not know what Poorboy's products are? Smells spammy to me........

    Should you follow up a waterless wash (whether it is DP, poorboys etc) with a spray wax or is that overkill?

    PB's does not affect your LSP. It is more a cleaner with minimal added gloss so no need to reapply protection.
