How does this combo sound

[ernman]

I have used AIO/SG and PP/EX. My brother in law would like me to detail his car I was thinking of using AIO/SG and topped with EX. Any thoughts????

[imported_memnuts]

Sounds like a good combination. Some believe that EX is loaded with solvents that may remove the SG but I have not had any problems or experienced any solvent activity on my Zaino`d vehicles. I even tried EX on the single stage paint ( hidden area) on one of my classics (red) and no red (pink) residue on the foam pad when applied like a protectant ( not using polishing pressure).



I would , if I were you, allow the SG to cure at least 24 hrs prior to applying any topper. In your case EX. :wavey

I`ll confess I`m not an expert on the chemistry involved in these products. But there`s no way I`d top my Zaino or SG with EX. I hope other, more knowledgeable folks will chime in.

SG has always been compatible with carnauba toppings. ALL carnuabas, which is part of EX`s ingredients (carnuaba + amino resins) have some sort of carrier, which in most cases is a solvent of some sort. Do not see where Zaino enters the picture that ernman painted AIO/SG plus ?EX.

Maybe there is a person with Klasse experience that can add to this discussion. My "experience" with Zaino and EX has been favorable. The important phase or word here is MY experience.

I understand, blkZ28Conv. Didn`t mean to mix apples and oranges. But both Klasse SG and Zaino are true (and, as I understand it, relatively "pure") polymer sealants. I`m hearing that EX may have lots of solvents. So I draw the inference (perhaps in error) that EX might cause some degradation of another polymer sealant.



And, yes, I do understand that SG can stand up to regular carnauba toppings ... provided they`re not loaded with "cleaners." ... Or at least that`s been my understanding.

I for one, like blkZ28 am not at all convinced that the EX contains solvents and cleaners...



I`ve never noticed any cleaning ability with it, and it didnt pick up any pink residue from blk`s single stage classic...



Steve @ Poorboys says it doesn`t, and I`ve never had any reason not to believe him.

Just for clarification, I like Lynn, do not experiment of my classics. They get the textbook time proven regimens. But on my driven vehicles (Escort (daily), LS400(wife`s) and Z28 ( ~1000 miles a year) I do practice this wonderful hobby of detailing.

I love this place. :wavey
