Anyone still using Poorboy's EX and/or EX-P?

Just curious who still uses EX and EX-P fairly regularly.



One question I have is did both those products get revised versions sometime in the last couple years?



I currently have EX-P only, and AFAIK its the original version of it. I hadn't used it very much but the VM + EX-P combo looks fantastic on my Cajun Spice (dark metallic red) Sentra. And I just recently tried it for the first time on my black 300ZX. Also, I found it worked better applying with my PC (w/ a black/grey finishing pad), vs. hand application.



All three of our vehicles are dark colors. Just curious, should I look at getting EX to try, or are EX and EX-P fairly close?



Thanks!
 
I'm using EX but thinking of switching to a pure sealant because I want a more reflective glassy look on my silver metallic car. I just ordered the Werkstatt twins yesterday.



I've found that the EX topped with Souveran paste looked pretty good but lacks durability on my daily driver.
 
I simultaneously ordered EXP and Werksatt Trigger.

Very very similar, both in results and application.

With sealants only used a handful of times a year I think the two bottles will

last me until everyone is driving electric cars.

I haven't used Trigger, but I have used SG and Sonus Acrylic Glanz, and I would consider these products to be about as dissimilar as you can get when comparing sealants.



Clarification: I mean that EX-P and SG/AJ/Acrylic Glanz are about as opposite as you can get and still be talking sealants, both in application and performance.
 
Yes both version of EX we're revised. I've never used the revised version of EX, but I was able to try a sample of EX-P+. Durability seemed really good and application was easier. I'm considering picking up a bottle once my #21 bottle runs out.



Some will argue EX and EX-P have a different look. I find it hard to see differences amongst the two, or any other sealants for that matter, so I'm going for durability and price. How your finish looks realies heavily on your prep; not your protection.



mburnickas: Yes VM has fillers as do most glazes.
 
yes my bottle of Klasse SG has been sent to the institute of "learning how to make a product more user friendly and in a convenient a spray bottle before your competitors do" in Autopia, USA.
 
I'd definitely agree that EX and EX-P offer different results. EX is still one of my go-to products, particularly on colors without heavy pearl or metallic content. I prefer UPP over EX-P, but will use the latter in direct sunlight.



Durability is my only beef with both products, although I haven't tried the more recent formulation of EX-P. That said, my Dad has a black car and I've recommended EX-P topped with Natty's Blue. It gives him a reasonable amount of durability and very pleasing results. EX + NB has become my go-to on my black truck just for the wetness and reflective qualities.
 
I just recently purchased a bottle of EX-P, I ordered it a week after getting a PC from Lowe's and ordering the SFX Pad kit. Can't wait to try it out. However I was surprised to find the EX-P to be a real synthetic liquid. I was exepecting it to be a normal liquid wax, relatively thick like a Gold Class liquid, etc... anyone here have any good tips for applying it to the pad and not wasting a lot?
 
I use them both and like them both a lot. EX looks great on black, EX-P looks great on light metallics. Both are so easy to use it's not even funny, and can be used in full sun.

Same here. They really bail me out when there is no shade and it is near 100.
 
I use EXP on metallics and white with great results. Makes white look really clean and crisp, while metallics pop (silver looks wet/glossy).



I don't know if I have the revised stuff or not, mine is thin, creamy and white (EXP).



Durability is also pretty good. 3+ months on my DD that sits outside, still beads and looks great.
 
I've taken to using EX-P quite often these days - it's the only sealant I know of that retains its durability when used over RMG, plus its very convenient when you don't have any shade.
 
I have two coats of EX-P on titanium grey topped with FK's Pink Wax. It's the revised version.

Can't judge durabiliy of the EX-P cause' of the PW though. As others have mentioned, it's soooo easy to use and I did so in direct sunlight. Nice look and very slick. Beading was beautiful but even better with the PW. Very little product used on a medium size car.
 
how do you know when the EXP is starting to go? There's so much Pink Wax, FK sprays and now Dura Gloss on there that the car is ALWAYS shiny. I'm creeping up on 3 months since the last session of the AIO/EXP-AJT (yeah I did both).

I use Pink Wax once a moth, FK 146/FX100/425 almost weekly.
