Where have I been!
Where have I been? I've had some of Poorboy's Polish sitting around but never got around to using it with an orbital buffer until today! What a fool I have been!
I purchased some of Poorboy's Polish w/ Carnauba awhile ago but never got around to really doing much with it. I did a couple vehicles with it by hand in full sun to test poorboy's claim of being able to use it in the sun and it buffs off so easily even on extremely hot paint. Just had to wipe a towel across the surface and 95% of the residue came off. I used it on my truck door once by hand to remove swirls after using my rotary with a compound and it took them out easily.
Today though I had a Ford Escourt to do. Just wanted the paint done and I saw I had an extra clean pad for my DeWalt Orbital. I had never used the Poorboy's products with a machine before so I decided to give it a try today.
I used my DeWalt Orbital (like the PC) at full speed and kept doing the H pattern on the paint until there wasn't much residue left. I then moved on to the next section. I did the whole hood, roof, and trunk before buffing it off for the first time. I grabbed a YoSteve microfiber towel and WOW! this stuff comes off really easily. This stuff might even buff off easier that Cherry Wet Wax. It definately buffs off easier than Pro's Miracle Wax, and all the A dam's Products. I could place my towel at the top of the hood and just run it down to the front and it all came off.
There were a few places where I had pulled the buffer from the paint and it left a thicker residue there. Those spots even after being fully dry came off really easily.
The paint looked so much better. This car has never seen wax and the light amout of Oxidation on the paint had been removed. Almost all the swirls were gone! The owner was really impressed with the finish. They only wanted a wax job on the vehicle too
The only way I could have gotten a better finish on this vehicle would have been to pull out the Rotary with Pro's Creamy Cutter (it is a compound). A lot of the light key scratches around the door handles it was able to get off or reduce in visibility. The water spots around the windshield washer nozzles were really easy to get off with this product.
I give this product an A+ in my book!

I've heard nothing but great things about all Poorboys products! His EX sealant is supposed to be super easy to apply and remove, with great looks and excellent durability. His Spray & Wipe is also recieving very positive feedback. His products are next on my list to try!

All these positive comments about so many kinds of wax, etc. Now I am really confused.
Hey Intel! Since I can't afford to buy all these wax products, from all these different companies, can you suggest one for me. I have a Charcoal Blue King Ranch Supercrew. I would like to get the ( like everyone else ) the best shine for this color. While having the easiest timw with application and removal. Especially since it will be applied and removed by hand. Please help.

Meguiar's #7 or One Grand Omega Glaze
P21S wax
Foam applicators
Microfiber towels (Yosteve.com Pakshak.com or Jt international (jtintern@hotmail.com)
That is for best depth, etc. You'll have to apply the P21S monthly as it isn't that durable.
You can actually skip the glaze step (Meguiar's #7 or One Grand Omega Glaze) with P21S. It already has a lot of oils in it that'll make the paint really deep looking.

I'm by no means in the same realm as Intel but, after reading the thread I felt inclined to post (fancy that).
Specifically, the Meguiars #7 probably isn't going to help out to the point that you're going to tell the difference. #7 is more of an oil based glaze that has been around for many many years and was designed with a 'softer' finish in mind. What I mean by soft is that it lacked clear coat.
Today's finishes are very hard (clear coat) and the #7 tends to smear and leaves shadows. You really have to work your rump off to get it looking stellar.
With that being said, I'm not sure I can recommend an additional product. I'd try what Intel mentioned. He's a pro and knows his stuff...

RockPick, thanks for that info on the #7.
I'd guess them use One Grand Omega Glaze as I've used it a lot and it works easily by hand granted that you have MF towels to buff it off. It will hide minor imperfections that might not come out with polishing. Then top it with some natural wax (can't use a synthetic on top of a filling glaze) and it'll look great.
