For those of you all that have used Poorboys EX, what are your opinions on it? Has anyone had any problems with it, how about it leaving a haze or streaks after using it? What is the best way to use it to achieve the most shine and protection? I`ve never used it before, so I`m just loking for some tips from those who had had first hand experience using it.
Since the Poorboys EX already contains carnuba, which would be better to apply after a carnuba or syntehtic wax?

I used it for the first time last week and applied it as directed. Applied with a dampened Meg`s foam applicator, very little amount on the pad. Wiped and let sit for a only a few minutes as I working in a lot of sun. Removed with a microfiber towel. For maximum shine PB`s recommends waiting up to an hour before removing.
I think you`re thinking of EX-P which does have carnuba. EX does not have any, it is a pure sealant. If you`re using either one I would think you could put on a nice paste carnuba.

EX has wax
EX-P is pure sealant.
Got them reversed I think.

Agh I did get them reversed. I have the EX-P which I really enjoyed using. I wish Steve at PB`s had used different name for the two products as I know I`m not the only one who gets confused.

Well, he called EX-P "EX-P" for EX-Pure (no carnauba). In case this helps with the confusion. :)
As to the best way to get easiest removal etc, I find applying it via machine gets the most even/thin coat for me, so it`s the easiest to remove. (Thicker and it gets a little less easy.)
Also, you should apply EX (or EX-P) before applying a wax, since EX(-P) are sealants.

Both the PB sealants are incredibly easy to use. They seem pretty forgiving as well (if you put too much on). I think EX looks great. It`s a lot deeper than EX-P and you can tell it`s got carnauba in it.

EX is easy on/easy off. Applies easier and thinner via PC. Looks great on dark solids.

Great, I`m glad I got the EX then. I was looking for something to provide a deep shine.

Agreed. Works very well in the summer sun too.

EX is one of my favorite sealants to use. Easy on, and easy off. I apply it with a PC (4) and a finishing pad. Definitely adds a nice glow to the paint. EX/CMW is my combo for depth/wetness.
