some of the poorboys stuff isn't expensive and you dont have to do all the stages can just get a polish.

AJ Oh master



I used Mer for about 6 years and i thought it was great stuff. I was then told about meguiars and i started to use that as i rated that even better.

I NOW use Poorboys.


I have given all my Mer and Meguiars stuff away now. This Poorboys stuff is excellent. I did my motor in it all last week, pics here
