Poorboy's EX-P

With my last order from Poorboy I ended up getting a quart of his EX-P since I've heard so much about it. I have to say, it's one of the easiest waxes to buff off that I have EVER used. It's simply amazing. For those who have used P21S or S100, it's even easier than those waxes!



So far I've applied it to vehicles using a hand applicator, a folded up microfiber towel (forgot applicators at home), and with my DeWalt RO.



It is definately the easiest with the Orbital and you use the least amount of product. You can get a coating on a panel with only a few drops on the pad. Taking it off is just one quick pass with the microfiber towel.



I've also used it on a vehicle in the full sun. I was doing it by hand (should have used the PC) and the hardest part was spreading it on the paint before it dried. Even in the full sun it buffed off so easily. You could also see the difference where you waxed and where you didn't.



The other day I showed some friends of mine who just use off the shelf products and their jaws just hit the ground when they saw how little you could use and how easy it was to take off. It's fun to know where to get the good chemicals.



I don't have any clue on durability yet but I can imagine it'll be pretty good since it is a synthetic and PB has quality products. I don't even have a coat of it on my own vehicle yet. Whenever I have time it's always pouring down rain. Perhaps tomorrow I'll try again or do it at night w/ flood lights like I use to do.
 
It seems to be holding up well. I've had it on my car about 2 months now and we've had something like 18-21 days of rain this month (depending on which weatherman you are listening to) and I have washed my car once in June and even after rain every single day since Friday, my car is still beading very well and looks pretty good.
 
Have had EX-P on my car just over a month now and it has been raining heaps lately and it still beads like mad and still has the 'oil' look to it, top stuff :up
 
I love EX-P as well. Its an awesome sealant and leaves a fantastic shine. I am not sure it is as easy to remove as P21S or S100. I have applied it both with a PC and by hand. I feel doing it by hand is easier since I can put less product on the finish.



I noticed less product=less dusting for me.



I just put EX-P x 2 on my F150 and plan on trying S100 as a topper.

When you apply with rotary and a finishing pad, do you use and qd to lube it up?

RO = Random Orbital



This catches me out sometimes too. :wavey





I love EX-P and all of PB's products that I have used. :xyxthumbs



Presently have EX-P over Zaino using very light application by hand. I am using Z6 as the QD with excellent results.



Has anyone notice that EX-P attracts very, very, very, very little dust?

I hope this is the case. My EX-P arrived today ( also WG and SSR2.5 ) and as much as I love Souveran, by lord it attracts dust from miles around like a vaccuum! The carpark where I work is quite open and breezy, consequently mine gets quite dusty over a week.



Oh and BTW, love the bubblegum smell of the SSR2.5! :xyxthumbs
 
Yep, me too on the SSR 2.5 smell, kind of grape bubble gum.



I tested a small section of the fender by hand with 2.5. Did a good job, ready to wax result. Can't wait to try it with my RO-ZILLA!



Since I hate to wait, I tested the EX-P over WG on my SC430. I did a quick QD with Megs new Last Touch and applied the EX-P. Didn't wait long to take it off.. impatient you know.. with a nice ExcelDetail MF I'm trying (yea, one dozen of them) and it wiped off no problem.



Nice look, kind of reverse WG/Souveran look. Bright and deep.



You're right about Souveran! Damn back of these SC430's is like a dust/dirt vacuum! Always have dust between what they call a spoiler and the trunk edge. No wonder I have cobwebbing/micro-marring back there! Doesn't help that the MF's add to the static, so I ground the car's finish to dissipate the charge.



You'll like the SSR 2.5 and the EX-P. Not nearly as much dust!



Regards,

Deanski
 
Does anyone have long term experience with EX-P?



I am looking for a sealant that will last 6+ months like Zaino.

Long-term is relative. :nixweiss

For me 2 months is extremely long-term between waxing. My EX-P has definitely lasted and performed great for this time period on my silver daily driver. Even my Zaino'd vehicles get waxed that often (every 1-2 months). Why? I believe most finishes require some TLC (cleansing AIO, P21S, VM, etc) (IMO) every 1- 2 months to keep the sharp edge or "next-level" appearance I desire. :)

EX-P, like Zaino, WG and AIO, are so easy to apply why wait 6 months?. My reason for using Zaino on my father's car is because I only get to see my parents every 6-9 months. If I lived closer (750 miles away presently) I would detail more often and still use Zaino because I love the look on his champagne metallic. EX-P may last six months but none of my vehicles will ever know.

Just curious why you need 6 months of protection. :wavey

Why is it whenever someone mentions durability you believe they need to justify it to you? It's rather ironic, given the fact you gave a reason why you yourself require 6-9 months protection on your Dad's vehicle.



If durability doesn't matter to you, fine. We get it, we've heard it 1500 times, you don't care about durability. That doesn't mean it doesn't matter to others, and they don't need to justify thier reasons for it to you or anyone else.
 
The reason I asked in satire was because this thread was about EX-P. Zane had a legimate question about EX-P's durability but like so many Zaino users could not help but leave a tiny little plug or dig at the discussed product buried as a question. :shocked

Edwin, based on his posts, I would say that ZaneO is not the Zaino Zealot you think he is and that his question was not a "plug" or a "dig" at the discussed product. I think it was a legitimate question because I'm also anxious to see how long EX-P will last on my car.



This is what I mean regarding walking on egg-shells....



Back on topic... I agree with Intel's impressions of the product. Extremely easy to use (about as easy to use as Mother's Reflections), leaves a very nice shine and so far has been beading pretty well. It hasn't been 'sheeting' for me the way it seems for some other folks here.
 
(sidestepping the bickering...)



I'd have to say EX-P's quite durable. Granted, I've only had it on a month though. I've been using my car as a tester. First, the whole car was VM'd then EX-Px2.



On the roof, I left the original application of EX-P.

On the trunk, I added another application of EX-P after 2 weeks.

On the hood, I just recently used VMx2 and then EX-Px2.



Results after one month: beading is virtually identical on all 3 sections. This is after almost two weeks of continuous rain too.



Appearance is another matter. Roof and trunk look pretty much identical. Hood, however, is a little clearer and brighter than roof or trunk. I assume this is because the VM cleaned off the gunk that will accumulate over a month.



I'll follow up with another post at the two month mark.
 
Tony-next time you wash your car, blast it with the hose across the hood and you should get a strong sheeting action. I think EX-P sheets better than NXT Wax using NXT wash.
