    How long to work Poorboy`s Pro Polish

    I used Poorboy`s Professional Polish for the first time this week. No matter how long I worked it, it stayed wet and I had a hard time wiping it off with a microfiber. I shook it very well when I opened the bottle and every time I put some on the pad. I only used 2 spots about the size of a dime on a finishing pad and worked it between 5 and 8 minutes. I had already clayed and used SSR2 and SSR1 to remove very bad water spotting so the paint was looking good, I just wanted to try the Pro Polish as a final step before sealing. Is Pro Polish supposed to work to a dry state like the SSRs or do you work it and then let it dry like a wax before wiping it off? Most people seem to really like it so I want to use it correctly.

    You used a finishing pad? Try a polishing pad.

    Also, I would not use the pro polish after SSR#1, just top the #1 off with EX or whatever you want.

    You need to use a different technique for PP than the SSRs. Use far less product. 2 dimes sized spots is probably still too much unless you work it over a large area. Just a few drops sprinkled over the pad will be enough to do a door sized panel. I prefer to work it until it hazes, and then wait a few minutes for it to completely dry. I find it easy to wipe off with a MF towel if I follow this process.

    Here are a few recent threads that discuss the proper use of Pro Polish -
