    Poorboys Spray n' Wipe

    Wow, this stuff is awesome!! I mainly use it as a drying aid and for spot cleaning. I like that it doesn't have any wax, sealant or gloss enhancers which may alter the characteristics of the base wax, sealant or coating. For having none of these attributes, it's still very slick!! Not sure how they do it! It's also an excellent clay lube! Found a product that will always be in my arsenal.

    I need to try some. I like the nothing left behind aspect.

    Re: Poorboys Spray n' Wipe

    Spay n Wipe is my all time favorite QD (that doesn't contain any wax/sealant). It's awesome for quick clean ups, a drying aid, clay lube, you name it! I don't love all the PBs products but this and Super Slick and Suds have been staples in my detailing arsenal for a lot of years. I've yet to see anything that I think does an all around better job at what these two products are intended to do.
    You like Nattys, I like Souveran, and Justin is DP MaxWax. And you know what, its alright !!

    Say a gallon is purchased, is it Ready To Use or are there dilution ratios to adhere to?

    You're not the first person whose said the same thing about this product. As I prepare to jump into the world of coatings, I'm looking for a QD spray to use as a drying aid and this one keeps popping up due to the claims it doesn't really leave anything behind.

    It does beg the question: How does it not leave anything behind if it's so slick? That slickness has to come from somewhere! Maybe the amount of lubricant ingredients are extremely small.

    Either way, it's a top candidate on my list right now.

    It is ready to use. Once you try it you will buy gallons from then on. It's THAT good!

    I emailed Poorboys directly with this same question and the reply was....

    "There are cleaners and lubricants in S&W which aid in being able to wipe without scratching the surface"

    The smell is a bit overpowering when doing the whole car in the garage. I stick to Uber for whole car waterless washes and use Spray and Wipe for spot treatments and wheels
