    EX-P over EX?

    Has anyone applied EX-P over EX? Is it ok to do this and if so what kind of a look will this give. I did a brown 2003 Bonneville with SSR1, AmericanShine California Clear Coat and than EX. After the glaze the paint was really wet looking (obviously) but seemed to darken a bit after applying EX. Now I know the carnuba in the EX might tend to darken the paint a bit which leads me to wonder if applying EX-P over Ex would bring back a brighter, wetter look?
    Would NAttys help in acheiving this look as well?

    Are there bonding issues with a polymer over a carnuba?

    I have heard and done vise-versa with steller results.

    Rich due to most waxes having oils in them, it would be hard to get a polymer to bond well, but it is possible. I would think longevity would also be compromised, and from the posts from metalsludge when he got his new truck a while back, he tried it and not only didn`t it add to the looks, but it didn`t last very long.
