First two pics, sorry about the tree reflections, I forgot how some of you feel about them! :lol



Mazda 626. Recently detailed it using #9/VM/EX-P but there were still some light spider swirls in the paint. #9 just wasn`t strong enough to remove them and since I did the car on a rainy day (and for free, it belongs to my Dad), I couldn`t evaluate the paint like I wanted to when I finished.



This time, I used #80 Speed Glaze and a Meguiars polishing pad. It really did the trick! Followed with VM (polishing pad) and EX-P by hand. I had a good sun spot shot...or so I thought, the sun ended up being focused on the seam between the hood and fender. http://www.scottwax.com/rice/videos/smilies/pat.gif

2003 Silverado SS. Regular weekly wash customer. Last waxed in mid February with #20 and #16. Used #80 Speed Glaze and a polishing pad to remove some minor hood scratches then used the Wolfgang twins, applying the pre-cleaner by PC and a finishing pad and the sealant by hand.

Here is a 2002 Civic that I waxed in late January using VM and NXT. Still beading 6 days ago when I waxed it again. I took a pic of the water beading but being a white car in the sun....just wouldn`t show up well. Anyway, here is how it looked right after the QEW wash:

And after the Wolfgang twins (again, finishing pad with the pre cleaner and sealant by hand).

BTW, here is his wife`s Cadillac DTS two months after applying the Wolfgang twins. Just a QEW wash.

1999 Cadillac SLS:



Owned by the proverbial little old man, had only 22,000 miles on it when he died, passed along to his daughter and son-in-law. Some minor paint transfers and a very grimmy interior.



Woolite and water (6:1) on the seats:

Clay, Vanilla Moose by PC and polishing pad, EX-P by hand.

Finally, a shot of my car. #9 with orange cutting pad, VM with white polishing pad, EX-P x 2 by hand.

It would be an understatement if I said they looked good. :)



Seriously though, to me Wolfgang and EX-P are victorious! EX-P is very clear and liquid, while Wolfgang just glows. It`s hard to place which is more preferable. Can you give me a little insight on which paints and which products? How about durability for the two?

I have the same problem; which look do I prefer? I really like both products and so far, both seem to be holding up well at the 2 month point. I am still playing around with colors to see which I like best on each color. EX-P has a very distinct clear look and WG has the typical carnauba glow. I am really impressed how close they come with a synthetic product.



I am going to continue using both products until I decide which I like best on each color...and even then I may still go back and forth!
