    New hack detailer in the neighborhood.

    I was washing the truck yesterday and was approached by some kid who felt she could do a better job than me. She said she specializes in hand washing. I chased her off, but I did get a picture for future reference.

    I received my fist order today from the new International Headquarters in Florida

    I was happy to see the FedEx guy drop off my order this afternoon. As usual, it was packed very well and full of clingy peanuts that would just not fall off my hand into the trash can. But, there was something different about this order. Everything smelled like suntan lotion and mojitos. Who is...

    Starting the training early

    Sunday evening, the temps fell to about 98 degrees, the wifey's car got into the shade and I decided to give it a quick bath. I got a little "helper" somewhere along the way. He's got the wheels, rockers and bumpers covered so I don't have to bend over or squat. His technique needs a bit of work...

    Taking Poorboys with me on my MS 150 ride!

    I am riding in my first ever BP MS 150 this weekend in an effort to raise money and awareness for MS. Two days, 150 miles on my bicycle along with 13,000 other people. Right now, we are looking at rain on Saturday and Sunday and a muddy campground to stay Saturday night. In my overnight bag, I...

    This is going to a take some time to detail

    The wifey and I added a second home. We bought it from our neighbors who are moving out of the country for a few years. It's been our lodging for the BBQ cook off the past two years. It needs some loving for sure. I have no idea what I plan on using to wax the beast yet. I think I have a solid...

    Upsized the grocery getter

    Now that the twins are one, my MazdaSpeed 6 is feeling a bit small. So, I added this to the driveway. It is a 2014 GMC Sierra SLT All Terrain in Stealth Gray Metallic. One of these weekends, I will have the time to give it the full detail it needs starting with a good clay bar rub down. I...

    Cleaned up the Speed6

    I am getting ready to buy a new truck, so I have to sell my lovely MazdaSpeed 6. It gets small really quick with twins. So last weekend I spent a few hours outside with some Poorboy's products to make it look presentable. The process was simple enough: Clayed with my stockpile of the original...

    I've been neglecting my detailing duties

    I should have posted sooner, but I've been a little busy. We added a couple new Jr. Detailers to the family on Thanksgiving day. The cars are covered on pollen and are dirtier than I have ever had them. Jackson and Fiona will be waxing their Power Wheels soon enough. Now I just need...

    New product, Poorboy's Ice

    On Sunday it was beautiful outside, so I decided to give the car a quick detail. The paint got some love with Polish with Sealant on a white LC pad and was followed up by a coat of EX-P. This morning, the freezing rain arrived. At least it beads nicely.

    People believe anything...

    I found this post in a truck forum when they guy talked about the fancy paint sealant he bought from the dealer: Just a little fyi guys, the paint protection isn't 'just wax". It's a Teflon based sealant that gets absorbed into the clear coat AND paint. It's much more advanced than carnuba...

    I love me some Polish with Sealant

    I have to say that I just love Polish with Sealant. It has become my primary product when taking care of my cars. I would love to take the time to do a full multi-step detail, but it's just too **** hot for that. So, I wash and dry the cars and bust out the Polish with Sealant. A black pad on...

    Stepped up the lighting

    Last week or so, the ballast went taking out one of the two 4 ft bulbs lighting my garage. Rather than spend $30 on a new ballast, I decided to install some fixtures I picked up on clearance at Lowes last year. I have four fixtures with four 4' bulbs, giving me the potential for 16 total bulbs...

    Our new pup

    Our ten year old best friend died just after Halloween. He stopped eating and after an x-ray and ultrasound, it was determined that he had end stage liver disease. A few of you might know him as the shipping manager for Specialty Motoring. He was a fantastic dog and we were completely heart...

    New addition to the garage

    For about two weeks, a neighbor three houses down from me had a fridge at the top of his driveway. I was told by one neighbor that it broke and he was throwing it out. So, a neighbor and I rolled it down the street and up into my garage. The wheels on those things are pretty nice and eliminated...

    A somewhat slimmer Scott P

    During our annual neighborhood Beer, Bugs and BBQ party back in May, a friend came over who I hadn't seen in a few months. He said "You've put on a few pounds". I always considered myself an eater of healthy foods, but I was getting bigger, but I didn't really care. I started exercising and...

    Signature section

    Can we get some sort of dividing line to show up between the posted message and the signature? I have always felt that it helps "frame" the original message better.

    Houston Texas here

    I don't know how I missed this section before. I guess I should check these boards more often. I am Poorboy's favorite Texas distributor. I carry all of his chemicals and his DMT microfiber towels. If you are local, you can feel free to call me and set up a time to come by and do some...
