I took the time to test this cleaner on a small section of my driveway and I will highlight my initial reaction and application process below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"aowheels | Poorboy's Driveway Cleaner Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7353\/9454013432_ecfc6238f1_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For this test I did not use a pressure washer &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Pretty unique driveway cleaner I would say. As it is not in a liquid form, but rather a powdery substance. As it states on the jar &#8220;Industrial Strength Natural Pine Oil&#8221;&#8230; It\u00a0definitely has the scent and in my opinion,\u00a0 a good clean scent! It comes in a 8oz jar (plenty to do a 2 car driveway with, if not more) and for this small test I used about a quarter of an ounce of product. It doesn&#8217;t have to be used for just driveway either. If you have epoxy flooring, sealant flooring, brick, tile, etc. it would also be great to add in a mop bucket with a small amount of\u00a0 this cleaner. I for one will now be mopping my garage floor with this as the solvent. Mostly because it smells pretty good and works great!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"aowheels | Poorboy's Driveway Cleaner Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7307\/9451243173_f43ca383e3_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the picture above is a small amount of cleaner used for our driveway test. (I ended up doubling that once it was spread)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The below picture will be our test spot.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"aowheels | Poorboy's Driveway Cleaner Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7372\/9454028434_157188c919_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Before you can apply the product you must first wet the surface.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">So as we are all accustom to marking out our test spots with tape through detailing&#8230;. I laid some blue masking tape down to mark our spot. (no, it did not stick) But did act as the guidelines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">(Below) I sprinkled that first portion around.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"aowheels | Poorboy's Driveway Cleaner Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3732\/9454034866_cbd833a5b9_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Stepping back a bit I simulated some rain to wet the cleaner (very hot day&#8230; the driveway was drying fast)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"aowheels | Poorboy's Driveway Cleaner Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3750\/9454037876_40945521ef_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Poorboy&#8217;s Driveway Cleaner calls for some agitation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I grabbed an old brush and lightly worked it around for just a few seconds.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"aowheels | Poorboy's Driveway Cleaner Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3806\/9451271117_7a4542eeeb_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This is when I was thinking I should double the amount used. So I sprinkled a little bit more down and noticed the product really starting to work. It will change color from an orange-ish color to green and you visibly see the cleaner working.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"aowheels | Poorboy's Driveway Cleaner Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3668\/9451277467_aa61e897a3_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The run off was working after about 5 min.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"aowheels | Poorboy's Driveway Cleaner Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2853\/9454063078_e6646af8a5_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Within 10 minutes I lifted the tape up.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"aowheels | Poorboy's Driveway Cleaner Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3678\/9454070026_cee95e8751_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As I said, No pressure washer was used. Right out the garden nozzle, I rinsed the area down. Much like any concentrate it had a small out of foam build up (very small) and it does not sud like crazy.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"aowheels | Poorboy's Driveway Cleaner Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7358\/9451295201_a62d82a55e_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After about 20 min. of allowing the section to dry slightly, we have our results! Really good results I would say for near zero effort. I believe when I get around to doing the whole driveway, I will first wet it down, sprinkle Poorboy&#8217;s Driveway Cleaner around, agitate it with an old broom, and then pressure wash it down! I say pressure wash, but you could get by with a rinse and still have good results.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Now that my driveway is completely dry it&#8217;s a night and day difference (still slightly damp in my after pictures)!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"aowheels | Poorboy's Driveway Cleaner Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7381\/9454004714_a56ab03965_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"aowheels | Poorboy's Driveway Cleaner Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5332\/9451231323_5fa1a8334d_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"aowheels | Poorboy's Driveway Cleaner Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7399\/9454019352_ebc4f225fc_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"aowheels | Poorboy's Driveway Cleaner Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3754\/9451298249_32c6710ca9_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thank you for viewing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian Guy of AOWheels Auto Detail shares his product review on the Poorboy&#8217;s World Driveway Cleaner!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":11823,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[943,28,63,31,18],"tags":[208,131,1052,144,1087,948,828,1083,1086,1085,1084,1480,226,337,117,236],"class_list":{"0":"post-11663","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-aap-news","8":"category-decontamination","9":"category-general-detailing","10":"category-pre-wash-degreasing","11":"category-product-reviews","12":"tag-all-in-one","13":"tag-all-purpose-cleaner","14":"tag-aowheels","15":"tag-before-and-after-pictures","16":"tag-cleaner","17":"tag-detailed","18":"tag-detailed-image","19":"tag-driveway","20":"tag-epoxy","21":"tag-flooring","22":"tag-garage","23":"tag-general-detailing","24":"tag-grout-sponge","25":"tag-poorboys-world","26":"tag-product-review","27":"tag-sealant"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/9451298249_32c6710ca9_b.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1kPO7-327","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11663"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11663\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11860,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11663\/revisions\/11860"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
