Please help me get started
I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of a PC with the Poorboy’s package. The kit includes:
Porter Cable 7424 Dual Action Polisher
5 inch Flexible Backing Plate
16 oz. Poorboy’s Light Abrasive Swirl Remover SR1
16 oz. Poorboy’s Medium Super Swirl Remover SSR2.5
8 oz. Poorboy’s Natty’s Blue Paste Wax
16 oz. Poorboy’s Spray & Gloss
16 oz. Poorboy’s Spray & Wipe Waterless Wash
6.5 inch Gray Dual Action Finishing Pad
6.5 inch Orange Dual Action Light Cutting Pad
6.5 inch White Dual Action Polishing Pad
2 Cobra Microfiber Detailing Cloths
8 oz. Wolfgang Polishing Pad Rejuvenator
In addition, I ordered:
Pinnacle ultra Poly clay
Poorboy’s Natual Look Dressing
Poorboys Spray and Rince Wheel Cleaner
Already in my garage is:
Meguiar’s Gold classic shampoo
Meguiar’s Gold Class Wax Liquid
Meguiar's Deep Crystal System Polish
I’ve read the forums and my head is spinning! What products do I use first? What order? I’m so confused. I know I need to:
Wash
Claybar
Then, I’m a bit lost…

-16 oz. Poorboy’s Light Abrasive Swirl Remover SR1

use these pads with above...
-6.5 inch Orange Dual Action Light Cutting Pad

Sounds simple huh? The hardest part is evaluating your car's condition.
Remember this....
Always start out with the least aggressive chemical/pad then work to harsher.
Hope this helps.

4. but who's counting
justin, the grey pad should be used for LSP application. you don't want any cut comming from your pad when you're applying an LSP.
IMO paste carnauba's should be applied by hand. It's difficult to get them onto a PC pad. I use the little yellow foam applicators that you can get from any detailing supply shop / anywhere detailing supplies are sold.

Sorry, not trying to steal this thread, but it's ok to use the same pad with different products?
-
Super Member
yes, just make sure that you thoroughly wash the pad in between.

Thanks very much! What does "LSP" mean?
So the wax (Natty's Blue) goes by hand, eh?
My finish is pretty good. I have been washing by hand and using Detailing spray. Also have polished and waxed by hand. However, before I bought it there are some scratches and swirls.

LSP....Last Step Product.
Can be a wax,glaze, or sealant.....or all 3 if you use Werkstatt!
Neo.....I did mess up on the pads....I knew that gray was for cutting....I've been so caught up in my new EDGE pads that I forgot!
Red...If you see swirls then you need to polish/cut the clearcoat.
