Chadwick's Auto Detailing
How do you guys apply EX? Do you wipe it on the whole car then buff or do a small section at at time?
 
I do the same thing as Jeff. You want to get it even in thinkness. The PVA pads are a real trick in getting that right
 
I normally apply sealants and waxes with my PC and a finishing pad. I've had great luck getting an even, thin coat quickly.

So, an hour wait time is perfect for me. I like that better than doing one section at a time. WOWO method gets pretty old sometimes.

Thanks for your help!
 
I usually apply it with either a greay pad and a PC or by hand and a sponge applicator. I prefer by hand for some reason. I usually apply it and clean the interior and then take it off. I have let it sit for over 24 hours before an have noticed no difference than leaving it on for 30 minutes. I have about 3 coats of EX on now. Here is a pic of my car from a BBQ I went to this past weekend.

I use EX on a finishing pad, and remove after an hour. I only like applying paste waxes by hand, everything else gets applied with the PC.
 
ummmm, I found the opposite. I always use less product when using the PC, a finishing pad, and Adam's Detail Spray than by hand :dunno

I leave my EX on for 45-60 minutes before buffing off.
 
I agree with Nick in that I use less when I apply ex by pc than by hand with a pva. I just did one coat by pc today on my maroon 96 Mercury Sable. Hopefully tomorrow it won't rain and I can get that second coat on by hand.

I've found that when working w/ ex-p 3 layers is awesome for shine and slickness. I'm hoping to get 3 layers of ex on the sable and compare. After the one coat mark ex-p was much slicker than ex.

Have you guys noticed the difference in slickness between the two?

I've noticed that the shines are different. The carnuba in ex really brings depth and a wet-look to the dark finish on my maroon mercury, while the ex-p brings a high shine and extreme clarity on the silver navigator I did.

I've also found EX-P to be slicker than EX. This is true from the time of initial application through a few months of exposure.

You described the difference in appearance very well. The difference is exactly why I prefer EX on darker colors and EX-P on lighter colors.
