NavindraLR stopped over today to exchange some products with me and to watch me work the rotary over the vertical surfaces. He only lives about 10 mins away so no big drive :). I`d hope to do my mom`s new Silverado, but I have extra plans for it, so not enough time.
Not the best conditions today (High 30`s, cloudy, and a bit damp), but I made due.
Final processes
-Mother`s Gold Wash
-A2Z on Wheels, Tires, and Weels (First time using and I like it A LOT)
----clayed 1 month ago, so no need----
-AIO via rotary and LC polishing pad @ 1500rpm
-EX-P+
-WG Tire Gel
Final Thoughts
I had #80/EX-P applied on here about a month ago. The shine, slickness when washing/drying, and beading were all pretty much there. It had been washed 2 times since then through the automatic car wash :( ...My dad is lazy when I`m not around. It had swirling and AIO only took out a little bit of it. No biggie, because it will be driven through the automatic all winter.
For the AIO, I felt it left excellent clarity. Navindra and I compared the Klasse AIO writing from the bottle on 2 doors (AIO vs. #80/EX-P). After that, I applied EX-P+ by hand with a foam applicator. This stuff spread forever! I don`t think there is a measurable difference in the sample bottle I recieved because I used soo little. I noticed a slight darkening in the color, but it really brought out the deeper red and metallic flakes, as Navindra pointed out quickly as I flipped on the exterior light from my house (all pics from this came out blurry :(). The wetness had also increased a lot. I let the EX-P+ dry for 10 mins BTW, and it came off with ZERO effort. So far, this product is a PLUS ;) over the regular EX-P. I noticed no problems with it`s thickness as it applies like butter over a hot pan :)

Clouds today, snow tomorrow, and clouds Wednesday so I said screw it and grabbed pics today anyways. When it gets nicer again, I will go for EX-P+ x 2 to insure maximum durability for the winter.
