Groebuck was the first to give me some tips and recommendations for a treatment on my 89 Mustang. From his advice on product combinations I have decided on claying my vehicle followed by two layers of Poorboys Polish w/Carnuba and finished up with two layers of Poorboys EX or EX-P.

My first question would be what is the difference between EX & EX-P?

My secon question is would this combo last longer than a Zaino application?
 
The EX has carnuba in it & the EX-P is a polymer.

As far as the Zaino....I can't give you an answer on lasting. Every situation is so different and what the vehicle is exposed to . I've used the EX and like it ALOT !! I'm not a Zaino fan at all so I can't give you a good answer,but with the PB stuff your heading in the right direction.
 
While you may get lots of different comments about Zaino, I think one thing that goes without question is its durability.
There may be lots of reasons to decide not to use it, but not lasting wouldn't be one of them.

Now comes the question you have to answer for yourself.
Do you need/want 6 to 12 months durability?

Since I seem to have to apply another coat of something about every 30 days, durability isn't a high priority for me.

It would seem that there are quite a few products that will last you from 30 to 90 days on a daily driver.

How can you tell how long a product has lasted? What measurement can be used?

I don't think durability is measurable. I think it's all in the mind of the beholder.

I'll say this. I put on 3 coats of EX the last one being in early October. In early March I still was getting very heavy beading.

Is that a measurement of durability? I don't know. Some say so. If so then EX is durable.

I do know it's easy to use and it SHINES.
 
Jesuspeeps, you may want to consult with Steve about using the polymer over the carnauba....Its not traditionally a acceptable process. Carnaubas on Poly, yes, but not normally the other way around.....

Well, I've only used one coat of the EX-P. I'm quite pleased with it's durability. Personally, "looks wise", it seems to be more durable than the EX. However, the EX could be "protecting" just as long as the EX-P........... but the looks don't show it. I suspect the slightly higher content of polymers in the EX-P has something to do with it.

I've also used the Zaino before, and I would say the only product that can match Zaino for durability is Klasse Super Glaze. That's not to say that the other products aren't durable.............. just not as durable as Zaino.

EX and EX-P seem to be less finicky about base layers. I have used both over PwC and have not observed any problems with bonding or durability (within my 3-4 month test durations). I agree with Boss_429 that the look of EX may begin to fade before EX-P because the carnauba portion will dissipate before the synthetic portion. You can preserve the carnauba look of EX by using a carnauba based quick detailing spray (like QD+).

I haven't used Zaino, but I have used Klasse SG. Multiple coats of SG may be more durable than multiple coats of EX/EX-P. However, I don't personally need 6-9 months worth of durability. I value overall looks more highly than maximum durability, and I like the look of the EXs better. As always, your mileage may vary.
