First time with Poorboys EX Sealant . . .

**AMP01** · 04-01-2003, 07:22 PM

I finished my spring time complete paint detail:

1. Polish with PC using a wool cutting pad and CMA`s new advanced yellow cutting pad with Menzerna`s Intensive polish. It was my first time with a wool cutting pad. Very easy to use. I was trying to remove a few pretty good scratches. On most of the car, I used the yellow advance cutting pad. Very nice. Menzerna intensive polish flashes very quikly. I would spray the pad and part of the panel I was polishing with Quick Shine QD. This helped keep the polish from drying to quickly. I really like the Menzerna Intensive.

2. Polish with ClearKote`s Vanilla Moose Wax Hand Glaze using the PC and a CMA white advanced pad. VM is very easy to use and produces a nice Carnauba look.

3. Apply Poorboys EX Sealant by hand with a microfiber applicator. EX is very, very thick. It is a little bit difficult to apply thinly. (Next time I probably will apply this with the PC using a CMA finishing pad.) After I applied the EX I waited 40 min. to remove. Removing the EX is easy. About like removing Souveran wax.

The resut: I think EX is a great sealant that gives a Carnauba like appearance. It is not a glitzy sealant look but a deeper, wetter, liquid look. It looks great on black.

I will be topping with Souveran but I wanted to post a couple of pics with just the EX. It was pretty cloudy out when I took these two pics.

I found that Poorboy`s EX is also outstanding on White. Topped mine with a couple layers of PPG.

Looks great! Keep us posted on the durability.

Looks good, now I have to let my 56k cool off LOL

Looks great! So how does EX compare to the Platinum UPP?

**AMP01** · 04-02-2003, 12:29 AM

iceman,

So far I have only tested EX on black paint.

To me EX is more like a Carnauba in its appearance. UPP is more like 1/2 Klasse and 1/2 Carnauba if I try to describe it.

It seems that EX has a bit more depth, like a good carnauba and UPP is more refractive/reflective with depth.

I hope this helps.

Amp99,

Great review. EX is a very good sealant with a carnuaba-like final appearance with a slight hint of sealant glitz. I found from my experience with EX that even though a thin application is cost-effective the effortless removal (buffing) of EX does not change when applied thick. You might try using a sponge ( from de-coated terry applicator). It works very well in achieving a thin coat.

AMP99, I have an experiement for you since you stated that you are going to top with Souveran. Try this - mix 1/2 teaspoon of Souveran and 1/2 teaspoon of P21S/S100 and apply. Wipe off wet with MF. I think you will be amazed at the appearance. :wavey

That car never looks less than perfect.

**AMP01** · 04-02-2003, 12:03 PM

Thanks Guys!

blkZ28Conv,

That sounds like a cool experiment! :xyxthumbs

How do you suggest that I mix the Souveran & P21S paste wax together?

Leave it up to a Mad Scientist :p like you to come up with that mixture!

Amp99,

I just combined the 2 equal amounts of Souveran and P21S/S100 in an old empty container of P21S ( any clean air-tight container should work that can be used to save left-overs) . I combined them by mashing with a spoon until completely intergrated. Very easy since both are soft and similiar consistency to start with.

Please try. I would like to know your opinion on the results. I was nervous about revealing this experiment but since you have both products and just applied EX your results should be equivalent and should verify or nullify my apparent results.:wavey

I see a potential variation to this experiment. Varying ratios of the 2 products

blkZ28Conv,

You are a mad Scientist!

I wil give it a try this weekend.

New avatar for blkZ28Conv:

blkZ28, I know you`ve been playing around with EX and toppers . . . have you had any trouble applying new layers of EX directly on top of say, S100? Or should it only be used as a basecoat? I realize the durability of a layer of EX on top of S100 would only be about as good as the S100 itself (weakest link in the chain, etc.), but I`m more interested in applying new layers of EX for shine enhancement than for durability in this case.
