It's very good. IMO it has a little bit more bite than Menzerna IP. However, the massive amount of dust that it spews makes me not want to use it or recommend it to other people.

yup... same thing that I noticed when I used it. Dusts alot, but the fact that it can be used in the sun made it the only choice for me =(. I'm definately going to try out the optimum since some people said it works in the sun.

I've also picked up an easy up canopy, so I might be able to give the non-sun polishes a go soon as well. I highly recommend one to anyone who need's shade and their parking area isn't too far from their sleeping area =) cause the thing is 60lbs... =p

It's tough when you know you need to be able to work out in the sun. Poorboy's of course works well in the sun and so does Optimum, but I believe the Pinnacle XMT line also works in the sun. I just bought the whole lineup but so far have only been able to use #1. So far it seems like a very good polish.

I like your attitude!! It's all personal preference and opinion anyway. So, always take any review with a grain of salt.

Mickey,do you think,the SSR2.5,could get rid of my cobwebs???
I would apply it by hand,as I'm too scared of PCs.
Any special technique???
Would you follow up with AIO + P21???

Hi Emil,

SSR2.5 used by machine would definitely get rid of your cob webbing. I really would be hesitant to comment about using it by hand as I have no experience with using the product in that manner. You could pose the question here . . .

http://www.poorboysworld.net/board/index.php

There's no need to be afraid of the PC. It's virtually harmless and your car will look even better after a nice cob-web removal session. Cob-web removal by hand is a long, back breaking, time consuming, and tedious process and in the end you will only achieve 80% of the result you could get with a PC.

If investing in the machine and pads is what scares you off. Post up a thread in your local forum to see if someone has a PC & pads you can borrow.
