    S100 over EX

    I know we have had discussions about topping UPP. Most people claimed they saw no difference including myself. Last night due to it getting dark, I didn't have the time to let EX sit for 45 minutes, so I put S100 on over two layers of EX. When I put it on I didn't notice much other than the...

    QD's with UPP & EX

    So I have been doing some experience with both UPP and EX, I like both products alot. They seem to be similar with subtle differences, the UPP seems to have more gloss and the EX more depth.

    EX Question

    I just got my Poorboy's package yesterday. Last night I had to do some experimenting. The EX is very impressive, I put it over 5 layers of UPP, and it added some depth while keeping the high gloss. What have you guys been using as a polish before the EX.
