EX has carnauba in it,EX-P doesn`t...

Jason, here is a quote I copied from a product description for EX-P:



"Unlike regular EX, EX-P contains no carnauba wax. Reflections are clearer and sharper. This makes EX-P is perfect for light colored cars and especially those with metallic finishes. Like EX, it is easy to apply and very durable."



I have used EX-P, but not EX so I can`t compare the two of them myself, but I was pleased with EX-P on my red car. I went with EX-P because I was going to use a carnauba topper and thought the EX-P might hold up a little longer.

The difference is P :D



EX contains carnauba while EX-P doesnt. EX-P is good for light color cars.

Okay, so are either of the two products considered polishes or are they just protectants?

No polish (abrasives), just a sealant.

The differences above are all accurate. I love the way EX-P looks on my light silver car and basically every pic of EX-P on silver I`ve ever seen has been awesome...seeing the pics on here was what got me to take the plunge and buy EX-P. So far I`ve just topped AIO, but I will be buying VM for my next experiment.



I have used EX (to top PWC) on both red & dark green cars and they looked great. The dark green car won 1st place in it`s category @ NOPI Nationals a week & a half ago.



The consensus is that EX is better for darker colors and EX-P is better on lighter colors. I agree.



Your Souveran would look very nice topping EX.

Thanks guys, for all your input. I am just trying to decide if I want to buy these or not. So far, my favorite combo has been AIO, SG or GW, then P21S or Souveran, but I really hate dealing with SG and I`m getting a little bored with GW. I guess I`m just looking for a reason to spend more money! :p



I am thinking a good combo on dark colors would be Sonus PC, AIO, EX, Souveran and on light colors SPC, AIO, EX-P. What do you guys think?



So if I decide to buy some of this, who`s got the best deal? if you don`t feel comfortable making that answer public, please PM me. Thanks!

If you order it from Autogeek you get the Autopia discount. Otherwise the prices I`ve seen are all about the same.

[JasonD]

Any idea what that discount is? They currently have a 15% discount going on right now, and was just wondering which would be higher.

I`m pretty sure on my last order it was 10%, so the 15% discount going on now is a better deal.

I agree with the others on the difference. Not that EX-P isn`t also excellent on dark colors, the look is more clear, wet and reflective while EX has a deeper, richer look. I find that EX is a bit easier to work with in the sun too since EX-P tends to dust up more on hot paint.
