...if not...then maybe some people who are registered here with Autopia can review it and make the ratings go up...

I saw that too, after looking at the bottles and poor rating. I wouldn't care for 1 bad review. Maybe he had bad luck or bad application / batch etc. Rank that against all the other reviews have done on Steve's Review. It would be nice if someone did boost the rating, but that seems desperate.

I am quite happy with Poorboy's products, and Steve doesn't care for competition. :hippi

It wouldn't be desperate...if you have used it and like it...leave an honest opinion; nothing wrong with that.

The Woob · 03-18-2004, 01:00 AM

True. I could post a review, but I don't have much to compare it against. Any other junkies out there to do some reviews?

Guys you don't have to defend EX from a dentist and financial analyst...look at any of the threads by Scottwax and read about use and durability....he keep records of every step used on a vehicle dating back years...and his last 5 months have proven these two reviews to be misleading to some, and just their opinions...Scott's a professional detailer doing all his work by hand, and could teach any of us quite a bit. :cool :hippi

i think it was an honest review.

Maybe he didn't know what he was doing or maybe he is brand loyal to another product, or maybe he just doesn't like it!

If everyone in the world gave the same review I would not care, I like what I use because it works best for ME.

Shaun,

There are a few people over at Autopia that seem to have a "axe to bear" for certain products or vendors. I can't say for sure, but I would suspect that these individuals have little, or no idea what they are talking about.

Keep in mind that anyone that can "slap" a coat of wax on a vehicle............... can do a review on it. That doesn't mean they applied, and removed it correctly, or did the prep correctly with the right products. However, they are certainly entitled to their opinion, but that doesn't mean that anyone has to pay any attention to it.

I would agree with Steve. Scottwax IS a pro detailer, that works with all kinds of products everyday. I would certainly value his opinion much more than any of the "Pretenders"!

Are you saying you posted a review at Autopia?
If you did, it doesn't seem to be showing up in the reviews section.
