My EX-P+ Review

**MattZ28** · 12-13-2004, 07:26 PM

I`ll start off by saying that this stuff looks just like EX-P, but smells different, and it`s thicker. Some people complained about it being too thick, but I haven`t found that to be a problem.

Washed the car, and got to work with S100 SEPC and a polishing pad. After that, I applied EX-P+ with a finishing pad. I spreaded it and blotted it around with the PC off, then applied it on speed 3. The product spreaded much more even and thinner than I expected it to, being that it`s so thick.

I let it sit for about 30-40 minutes, then buffed it off. It buffed off just like I expected it would -- just like EX-P, EX, Wolfgang, etc.....effortlessly. Left a nice rich, wet looking finish, and the slickness was WAY better than EX-P. Feels there with Wolfgang and UPP.

24 hours later (today), I applied the 2nd layer by hand with a rectangular foam Clearkote wax applicator. I had the same experience as above.

I will try my hardest to not re-wax the car in the coming weeks, and I will keep you guys posted with durability updates.

So far, I`d say Steve has another quality paint sealant on his hands :xyxthumbs

I`ll snap some tomorrow, don`t worry!

Geesh, I haven`t even gotten around to using my EX-P yet and there`s already an EX-P+ coming out?? Thanks for the review, I`ll be looking for it when it becomes available.

So many great products, so few cars...wait, I have an endless supply of cars to try stuff on!

I will definitely have to snag a bottle or two to try.

Here`s a pic of the sample bottle and MF I got from Steve.

Thanks Matt. We look forward to the pictures.

so whats the difference on the exp and the + version?

**MattZ28** · 12-13-2004, 09:00 PM

Shines better and lasts longer according to Steve (Poorboy). Also has a thicker consistency, and is much slicker.

Cant wait for the product to be released! I love EX-P, but I feel the slickness could be improved (especially after only a couple washes).

I love the look of EX-P but my experience has been that EX w/carnauba is more durable and stays slick a lot longer. Not that EX-P is dead in two weeks, but at 3 months it is getting iffy. I get an easy 4-6 months with EX. :nixweiss

When`s the EX-P+ supposed to debut???

**MattZ28** · 12-13-2004, 09:46 PM

AFAIK, Steve doesn`t know if it`s going to be released yet. Depends how the testing goes.

Hopefully EX-P+ won`t stain train or leave residue like the problem I had with my EX-P. I love it anyway but man I was left with a lot of residue in the cracks and on some of the trim, mudguards, etc. (It was stealthy... didn`t really discover the problem until after the first car wash afterwards.)

**MattZ28** · 12-13-2004, 09:52 PM

It does tend to be sloppier than other sealants since it is so thick, but just apply it thin and make sure you cover EVERYTHING when you buff it off. I haven`t had any problems with it staining anything...
