I have been eyeing the EX-P. How many of you guys apply it after your waxes? Currently i've been using PB's waterless wash, SSR's, and TR. I wanna give the Poorboy's Polish with Carnauba (Blue), and Natty's Paste Wax - Blue a try and was thinking of topping the wax with EX-P. Currenty I polish and wax with Meguiar's DC#2 and NXT wax.

Another question I have is can all three PB product be applied with an orbital buffer or will I get better results using a PC?
 
I don't use EX-P personally, but a lot of people love it. You should always have a clean surface before applying a sealant such as EX-P, or else it won't bond correctly. Therefore, use it before the Natty's. I believe it's okay to use over PWC though (there's very little carnauba in PWC, mostly polymers).

If you intend to use PWC for its polishing and cleaning aspects, the PC will do more correction. However, the other two LSPs will turn out the same applied with either one.
 
I've been using many of Steve's products for a while and am quite happy with the results.

Please note: EX-P goes on BEFORE the Natty's
You will get better results with the PwC from a pc than an orbital (i'm assuming you are referring to one of the Sears ones), as for the EX-P I only use the PC to get a thin even coat, and always apply Natty's by hand

AutoGeeks site states that the product is used to seal your polish and wax. So which is it?

Sealer first, then wax. In the case of poorboys.....

Polish (SSR's, PP, or PwC)
Seal with EX or EX-P
Then top with Natty's or Natty's Blue.


IMO, EX is the route to take unless you have metallic paint.
 
I find that PB's EX-P is just as good as Meguiar's #20 Polymer Sealant, I have had it on a black truck ever since there Detail Day in NY. I find it last just as long as #20, longer that NXT, and Much longer than #21. But Please as stated above Don't put a Polymer or a synthetic sealer over or on top of a carnauba wax. you will experience bonding issues and most likely blame the product and not the process.

FWIW
The last time I used EX-P was mid-summer. when I did my truck a week ago I could still feel a protective shell over the paint even though the beading was not like I wanted, I could of washed and resealed and wax but i wanted to a full cleaning to the paint. I was using Meg's #80 speed glaze and I could feel where the speed glaze was removing the EX-P, there was a distinct smooth feel where the EX-P was and where the #80 removed it.
 
My personal opinion is the PB is the best overall product line. Sure, there may be some better products from other companies, however, I tend to prefer staying in a product family for better assure compatibility.

I currently have on both my personal autos-
Pro Polish
EX & EX-P (on separate cars)
Natty's & Natty's Blue (on separate cars)
Treat with Spray & Gloss regularily
Treat with QD+ between waxes
and of course, bathe them in SS&S !

(haven't needed swirl removers yet, but when I do, PB's will be my choice!)
 
It's a matter of individual taste.
I like the look of EX-P on a lighter color and EX on a darker one.
It's realy up to you

Am I missing out on a hell-of-a-shine if I use PwC skip the sealent and go straight to Natty's Blue? I do a full detail once a month so I really don't need long lasting protection.

shine is subjective to the viewer...:yes:
 
Go PwC +EX/EX-P+Natty's Blue on half your hood. the other half skip the sealant and go PwC+Natty's Blue then decide for yourself. Personally I would go PwC+EX/EX-P then Natty's Blue
