What is the best way to apply PB`s EX-P sealant? By PC polishing pad or by MF applicator (hand)? I have never used a PBs sealant before and was looking for advice. I have always had good luck doing SG with the applicators and buffing off the MF.



It will probably go on top of AIO after SSR 1 and 2.5 if needed.



I am detailing a red VW and a black Porsche this weekend and think that I will seal with SG on the red and EX-P on the black. Sound good?



Thanks,

Rob

By hand, a dampened foam applicator works well. You could also use a finishing pad via PC.

I find it quicker to put on by hand as the PC spreads it so thin I can`t see where I`ve put it, so end up going over the same area time and time again. But that`s probably just me being stupid!:D

and whilst we are on the subject, should it be applied in straight lines or swirls?

I play it safe and apply via lines. IIRC Swirls are (almost) always :nono `d during application. YMMV

Straight lines back and forth or in one direction only?

And put it on thin as BenP noted.
