Doing car show on Sunday.
Sold the Ferrari (after several trophys) and bought a red Lambo.
Paint cleaned and used Meg Speed Glaze. Just got Poorboys EX with Carnuba. Using Scottwax`s product list.
Questions: 1) Hand or Machine (R/O)? If RO white polishing pad or black fine pad?
2) How long to leave on before wiping off? Bottle says 30-60 minutes for best results. Can you leave it on longer like Klasse?
3) Does layering 2 coats benefit? I plan to top with P21S.
Thanks for any input or tips you have....

for ex, you should apply by hand, or by pc the first time, followed by hand.. and yes 2 layers does benefit.. i would say 3 layers topped with a good carnauba paste would look sick..
any pics of the lambo?
1) Black Fine pad with RO, then layers after use hand
2) Leave up to 45 mins or more. Seems like you can leave it on longer, but I wouldn`t. Removal is a breeze after the bond time
3) Yes! I love EX one coat itself, such a rich warm deep shine.

Never Mind... lol
This is a pix when I just brought her home after a 700 mile road trip. She`s dirty but you can see paint is in great shape...

How long to wait between coats? Any tips like should I mist the applicator with a QD instead of water or any thing else you can suggest.
Don`t have a very dry app, mist if neccessary, but VERY light. Wait 24 hours.

With EX w/carnauba, you can wait or remove once you apply it to the whole car. I haven`t noticed much difference with either method but it never hurts to wait a little while. EX wipes off with ease. PwC, VM or AIO all make excellent bases for EX (assuming proper polishing steps and if #80 did the trick, then you are good to go). You can also go with it right over #80 if you wish.
2 coats is sufficient, 24 hours apart. You may not even need to top it since it has a very deep glow as is.
We are expecting pics of the detail. :)

That`s Scott - You are always a frist class act.
I`m freaking out because I`m changing my regular routine and this is the first time I`m showing the car.
Re: AIO - I tried a little on top of 80, but did not like the look...seems AIO will remove the 80, know what I mean?
Will post pix (with trophy I hope) :)
Best

If AIO is removing the wet look of #80 then go with either Vanilla Moose or straight to EX.

700 mile road trip??? With *that* car on *that* trailer??? Are you crazy!! :eek:
Just playing with you, but I would have had her in a nice enclosed trailer or at least one with a little more room there! ;)

Jason-my customer who had the blue Lambo regularly drove from Dallas to Shreveport with it.
