After seeing that fantastic finish on Rob's car in post #1, I googled "poorboys black hole", only to see it's for dark coloured cars.

Now my 75 is Moonstone Green, ie not dark, but I'm fairly happy with the finish, using Autobalm, and Megs Qwik Detailer after each wash.

Now, nice though it looks, it ain't as deep a shine s Rob's, so is there a Poorboys white hole glaze for light coloured cars? (or the equivalent?)

Thanks

Malcolm

Thanks for this, Rob, but 2 points: They are the cheapest I can find, but they load the P&P, so others are cheaper overall,

and I was a little perturbed to note that when the ack'd my registration to their shop, they quoted my password in full in the e-mail. I've therefore cancelled the registration, and will buy elsewhere.

But a big thank you for the recomm of the product, looks good, and so will the car when I've done it!!

Hi,
Am i correct in thinking that Poorboys goes on first, then wax?

Regards
