    Tar, bugs, and sap removers and effects on sealants

    I was just curious if a product such as Tarminator will effect my sealant longevity? I have found almost totally necessary to use a bug, sap and tar remover on a white car almost everytime I wash.

    I was curious what autopians feel the best looking sealant is on white. I am ideally looking for added depth, reflectivity if possible, and most importantly WETNESS. Sealants are preffered...

    Too thin???

    First Steve let me say that I had a chance today to use those PVAs you sent me, wow, best applicator I have ever used. They took me about one panel to get the hang of it. Very good at getting to tight places and right up to edges. Also, it made applying EX-P thinly a breeze, which brings me...

    Why does Meguiars exagerate what a product can do?

    I read an article in a tuner mag of mine, modified mag. It was for NXT tech wax. It stated, and put emphasis that it can hide swirls and make your color "burst." I tried NXT. It has a nice look, but hide swirls like this article suggested. NO WAY. I mean, show a picture of a swirled car...

    Holy zaino zealot blunders batman

    So heres the story as short as I can give it. Last year a friend on campus at my college noticed my car and my "work." He asked how much I charge and if I would do his car, an integra Type R :drool:. I said I would. The price issue came up, he wanted exterior only, I said 60 bucks. More...

    Interesting EX-P observation...

    I really like this sealant. However I have noticed some interesting properties and wanted to see if they are consistent with what others have experienced with this product. 1) The first wash after applying EX-P I rinse the car first as I always do. No beading, at all, none. The car just...

    QEW custom mixture + EX-P question

    Ok, got two quick questions: Has anybody added a capful of QEW to their regular wash solution for some added lubricity? I am thinking of doing this especially now due to the pollen season to prevent marring if possible. Also, I applied EX-P my first time around with a dry applicator in...

    Hmm, every nook and cranny???

    This is kinda funny, dont know why I thought of it but I just wanted to ask. When you guys apply a protectant, how thourough are you? I mean to you spend the time to go up to every edge, cover every possible inch of the car? I mean I go up close to edges and stuff but I am sure there are...

    Carnauba moose over EX-P

    What do you guys think? I am not much a believer in this cancels that and so forth. And I actually thought about this: I currently have VM, EX-P on the car. The EX-P being clear as it is took on the characteristics of the VM. The paint has a wet, reflective, slightly darker look to it...

    Finishing pads

    If I used a finishing pad on my PC and applied another layer of EX-P to my car would this remove anything I previously applied? For example, would it remove VM? Thanks.

    Question about VM filler longevity...

    I finally have my car looking how I want, the VM/EX-P combo is fantastic. Now, my question is this: I have heard that VM can actually provide protection, that in some cases has lasted a month or more. I was curious how durable the fillers in VM are, and if that will be extended being under...

    Need quick help!!

    Just curious here I applied VM last weekend with a white polishing pad and my PC I then followed with foam hand pad and EX-P and buffed off with MF. Would the application of the EX-P and the foam hand pad in any way remove the VM? It was applied right after I did the car with VM. Thanks.

    VM on textured trim...NO!!!

    NXT in the way???

    I applied NXT a little over a month ago. It does seem diminished but not gone I dont think. I plan to redo my protectant layers. My new combo will be VM topped with a couple coats of EX-P and then maybe S100 as a carnuba topper. My question is this, do I need to do something pre VM...
