I'm sure you can get it from Home
Forgot to post this last night about how nice Poorboys products smell. On Sunday I was out the front emptying the 325 out ready for selling it. I went in after I'd finished and said to Carly that the house smelt lovely (Roast Beef Dinner on the go). She replied with "what that coconut smell?" "No dinner, but what is that coconut smell? something nice for afters?" was my reply. I was then told to ask my son about it.

On quizing him Samuel told me he had been copying Daddy and spraying everything with Poorboys Quick Wax plus. The bu&&er had been in the shed and got a bottle. He'd detailed his bike, his little tykes car and half the bloody garden! £10 worth of wax was now all over my plants, pond, bbq, spare bmw tyres, windows etc. Hey ho at least it smelt nice .

Supercue was around mine, and asked what I used to do my interior, I said Poorboys and showed him the bottle, he smelt it and then decided to test it on the whole of his interior.

Cheeky B£$%^&*

baby wipes aren't really that delicate fella. they're just convienient. we use them for our 3 year old as well. best thing on their butt is cotton wool and warm water. a right pita though when you're out shopping.

they go as near my car as a sponge and a water blade.
