EX-P: A first look at the production version

In my experience something like PwC could not be used under Zaino because the carnuba would inhibit bonding.
It seems as if EX-P does not care if there is any wax/oils etc to inhibit bonding? that is, EX-P does not require the maticulous cleaning of the surface the Zaino apparently needs?

any comments for my questions above? ^^^^^

I am by no means a scientist but I`ll give it whirl.....IMO EX-P is similar in formula to EX (which contained carnuaba) so I do not think that would be an issue. But how can you tell? As with any product, proper prep is necessary to achieve the best finish possible but i think that as long as the surface is clean of soil and contaminants EX-P should "bond" just fine. Has anyone ever tried applying Zaino without using their prep steps(over a carnuaba)?

EX-P does not appear to be especially finicky about prep products. It seems to behave the same as regular EX (with carnauba). I used the prototype version of EX-P over top of PwC and did not notice any bonding problems. Over a 3 month test period, the surface remained slick and very shiny.

One of the characteristics I admire most about the Poorboy`s products is that they are so user friendly. They mix and match well with other manufacturer`s products, can be used in sun or shade, and don`t have harsh chemical smells.

Sounds good, I am not a Z expert but have used it for 2 years. I am always paranoid about surface prep as far as it being free of wax and oil, not just dirt and scratches.

I assume EX-P is suppose to last longer than EX?
If so, looks like I`ll drop Z in favor of it. IMO the best benefit of Z is applying it in Oct and having it last all winter (in MI) until March.

I`m not certain if that`s really the case. EX-P is consistently slicker than EX, but I wouldn`t necessarily say that it lasts longer. The carnauba look of regular EX may begin to fade as the carnauba wears off, but I`d hazard a guess that the protective qualities between the two products would be similar.
