I have been using Poorboy's Spray and Wash (http://www.poorboysworld.com/spray-wipe.htm) for quite some time now and realize that a lot of people do not know about this stuff. I am just writing this for those of you who might not have experienced it yet).

While it is a waterless wash, I would think you a better off thiniking of it as a quick detailer with more kick. I would not use it on a really dirt car but for dust, pollen, or light dirt it is great. Someone once said that the dirtiest cars they use it on are those that are waxed, driven in the rain, and then allowed to dry. THAT level of dirt is about right. I mainly use it on the garage queens right before I wax then just to ensure that nothing is on the paint.

It is very simple to use. You spray 2-3 sprays on a panel and let it set for a few seconds. You then wipe it off using sraight movements. I find it easiest to use with one microfiber to spread it around and another to remove/dry the panel. While I use it in the garage, it is formulated to work just as well in direct sunlight. For this reason, it has become our go-to product for car show cleanup and such.

Now as for the marring issue. Sure, I thought of that too before I started using it. The SnW is forumlated to lift the dirt and lubricate to minimize any marring. If you use it on a car that is REALLY dirty, use a dirty cloth, don't swap cloths enough, etc then sure, you can get scratches. however, after using this stuff for a long time, I have found that careful application is key and that the final results can be wonderful.

Last but not least - it is really cheap! I truly believe that this is one product that should be on EVERYONE'S shelft and definitely in the carshow bag.

I have it too, you just about summed up everything about it

 

Nice review - S&W is one of my favorites!

 

In case someone did not realize how much I liked this stuff....here is what FedEx brought on Friday (no, not the pup)

 

Haha, nice. Another good use for it - if you use QEW or Opt No Rinse add a couple capfuls of S&W and you'll get even more lubricity and a better shine when you're done washing.

 

ok im convinced. Just ordered =)

 

Spray and Wipe is very good stuff, I totally agree with GTScott as usual. I fold my towel in fourths and continually flip it exposing a fresh surface regularly. This allows you to get eight clean passes with one microfiber towel.

 

hey dont forget about the spray and gloss,its the best quick detailer ive ever used.and god ive waisted a lot of money on detailing stuff.btw thank you gtscott your the one who i found this stuff from.

 

That I like to hear - this stuff has saved me so much time!

Spray and Gloss is also great...I only buy that stuff by the gallon though. I need to take a picture of the deatiling supply cabinets sometime.

Just fyi - S&W is awesome on windows too. I've started using it to clean the insides of windows and it works well, don't streak, and smells good.
