Ray, I have used Plexus for years but I'm out and it's been discontinued. Do you recommend anything for clear bras, such as XPEL?

Ray I still have your 'show & shine tips' from Feb 2016. I still use the Poorboys spray.


I really like Wizards for easy to use with great results. That's what I've been using on my F-150 for a few years now. I used it on the MG as well but when I want a quick and shinny look I still like Poorboy's spray. A buddy who has several national award winning cars suggested Wizards.

I still have Poorboy's Black Hole and a couple bottles of Blackfire - one unopened. I should give them to my son.

That’s great Dave. There are now Ceramic spray coatings which are better than Poor Boy. The shine is incredible. I use Ultra Lock ceramic coating which I apply with a micro fiber pad on my cars and my customers. I use the spray for maintenance,

Kyras, Xpel is an excellent choice. I use Klasse for protective film. I like it better for longer lasting protection as it is a polymer. I apply it with a microfiber pad and wipe it off with a microfiber towel. It also gives a better shine. I order it from Amazon.

Thank you, Ray. I'll order some right now!


*EDIT* Ray, which product do you use? I looked on Amazon and I couldn't figure it out.

XCEL markets a ceramic coating but I am not sure if it is available on a consumer level.

Open Amazon. Search for Klasse. The top selection is Klasse all in one product. Use sparingly.
