    Poorboys EX Durability and Maintenance

    Any insight on the durability of Ex? Additionally any input on maintenance/drying aids to boost it up? Thanks.

    Depending on routine .. EX should last 4-6 months ... maintaining and drying using QD+ will definitely extend the life 1-2 months easily.

    Thank you. Is polish with carnauba blue and ok prep, or does ex not play nice over that? Thanks.

    they have no problem with each other and seem to give a deeper and wetter look together.

    Re: Poorboys EX Durability and Maintenance

    all my opinions of course...

    i found pwc blue + nattys black has more of a buttery smooth feel but great color saturation and depth

    pwc blue + EXc gave a much slicker surface, not much to my surprise though
    not as deep but a brighter gloss

    these comparison were on the last two black trucks I detailed

    I went with EXc on the raptor because of the metallic flake, instead of lnr because of EXc`s slight filling ability (over lnr)

    no point in having an absurd selection of products if one can`t find just a pinch more of this or that based on task at hand, right?

    I like variety

    hell, i have the Entire PB line,,hah

    I`m sure you wouldn`t have to look very far to see where I`ve made this comment before. If you can`t do it with the Poorboys line of products chances are it can`t be done. I say that with the caveat that Poorboys doesn`t offer a coating, yet... Their products just work and at a price point that won`t break the bank. I don`t have every product in the Poorboys line (cause my name isn`t Ron ) but I`ve got most of them. I use and like these products.

    Re: Poorboys EX Durability and Maintenance

    Looking at products, would it just be better to use a dedicated polish, bh, and then ex? Doesn`t seem like pwcb has much correcting ability. Thanks again.

    it depends on the task at hand

    PWC blue may not seem to have much cutting power but if you pair it with a urofiber pad you have one hell of a one step polish that will cut much more than you expect

    Yeah! Recognition right there! I`m not at the wax waster status...yet.

    My most prized detailing item happens to be the Poorboy`s keychain! I LOVE that thing. My sweatshirt is also neat, but damn does it get hot in it. Winters here don`t get THAT cold
