    I've tried everything beside the APC (I use ZEP) and every product are great. The only thing I would add is the wheel cleaner is really strong, use it only on really bad wheels.

    I agree with Devast8, all the products listed are great. The APC is nice. It cleans trim and tires very well, similar to ARO. The APC can be diluted as well and still be effective.

    Poorboys makes some great products! Just don't buy the EX-P, it's crap.

    Their Bug Squash is excellent, I dilute 1:1 and it works fantastic. Also, their Natural Look is currently my favorite tire dressing.

    Bold n' Bright is a great dressing. It soaks right into the tire. One coat for a "silky" look and two coats for a glossy look. Absolutely no sling. It's a great product as most Poorboys products are.

    I couldn't believe that a tire dressing could leave no residue after a few minutes, it's cool to feel.

    APC aside (haven't used it), the other three mentioned are excellent products in my humble opinion.

    I love all of Poorboys products. Their Polishes are very "fish" (newb) friendly and work great with a DA.

    Their Leather Cleaner and Conditioner "Leather Stuff" is also a good one. A bit to shiney for some (I tone it down with a towel), but its the best cleaner/conditioner hybrid out there.

    Ya thanks, I just had to buy the 32oz size....

    anyways, yes their polishes are great, their waxes are very durable and easy to use, and their other products are solid. I guess the name turns people off, but they are really high quality products.

    Thanks fellas, I have been looking for a few chemicals to compliment the other I currently have. I will definitely give them a try.

    Just a heads up I would be careful using there APC for interior duty. It actually stained some trim peaces of mine. I started 8:1 then something like 10 or 12:1 and it still stained. I use it for exterior use only. BS is good and I like there trim restorer as well along with S&W and S&G very solid products.

    Yea, Meg's APC is quite strong but I haven't seen any staining effect but I've been diluting it minimum 10:1 now. Most of the time 20:1 specially if the vehicle has leather seats.

    But good to know, I'll have to remember that. Thank you for sharing :peace:
