HD Express Surprises -- Mini Review

[David Fermani]

We use Express daily and each detailer applies it differently. I prefer the spray on-to panel and remove method, but I have others that use the applicator. I actually don`t mind as he applies it so super thin that he barely uses any , but still makes the surface very slick. `

Do you have skilled polishers working for you?

Just thought I would add my immediate thoughts on Express instead of creating another thread....


The Good:

-Poxy type looks

-Very slick

-fills very well, almost glaze like really

-good beading

-A minute amount goes a long, long, long, way.

-Excellent with metallics and flake


The Bad:

-Application not as easy as other spray waxes/ sealants. I used a red B&S hand applicator. My truck was the test subject. Was applying after a fresh wash out of the sun. I tried applying to entire panel and then wiping off but Express, when wiped, would leave residue in some places...it was like flash drying after it was wiped? (panels were cool to touch). Tried to remove Express residue with Touch but no go. Ended up using a cleaner wax to remove it. Once I realized this, I applied to a 4`x4` section, on larger panels and wiped off. That worked somewhat better.


Only reasons that I could think that was causing this was....

-applicator cross contamination (have used it with other waxes/ sealants, but I usually wash these applicators well.)

-opti-seal (fading LSP, 4 month mark) doesn`t play well with Express?



In closing, I will monitor Express` attributes and the longevity of them. Although I will continue to use D156 for my booster or quick wax for the immediate future, Express will continue to get worked in on occasion to further test and acquire a better feel for the product.
