Applying EX or EX-P with a PC?

[Beemerboy]

Anyone doing this with a PC and if so what kind of pad and speed are you using?


What are the benefits of doing so?

finishing pad at low speed (2) ..makes a more even and thinner coat

What Steve said. That`s the only way I apply it anymore. It saves so much time and IMO does a much more thorough job of getting the sealant where it needs to go. Comes off with a simple wipe instead of having to rub it off.

If you have to rub it off when applying by hand that is a sure sign that you are putting it on too heavy.

I prefer to do it by hand because I think I have better control of how much is going on.
PC is defiantly faster but I`m not so sure about better.

I applied my LSP by hand for 50 years before I bought a PC probably won`t ever change.

I use my pc to apply almost all of my lsp`s now...I find it makes an even thin coat and covers everything.

A lot of sealants that I have tried will go on rather smoothly by hand but PB EX-P is one that no matter how I try to apply it it gets gummy like in certain spots and I can`t get it thin enough with the applicator either dampened or dry. The PC is a Must IMO for the use of EX-P because I can get it nice and thin. I love the look of EX-P over the other sealants that I have tried so I will do whatever makes it easier to apply. To me it`s just worth it.

Again, if you stick around and pay attention you can learn something new. Have used both EX and EX-P for years and always applied by hand. Now I read I`ve been doing it wrong all this time. I guess I`ll have to break down and buy some finishing pads and test out this revelation.

I always apply my EX with the PC on 1 or 2. Goes on easy, comes off easy. Then I top it with my Natty`s and the shine is beautiful.

I need to grab a few shots of my truck. I just re-did it all this weekend as I was going to a car cruise Saturday night and she`ll be in a car show next weekend as well.

It looks great, especially in the sun.

EX and Natty`s are like a Corona and a tropical beach...they just go together and make me happy.

Poorboy`s rocks!

I forgot to mention I use the red compressor pad and go between speed 1 and 2 on the pc.

Red or black felx style LC

on Flex speed 1-2

:

Is an microfiber applicator pad good enough to apply way?

Then why not use it on a DA (duel action) on 1,2,or 3 it sticks well to the Velcro, less expensive to replace and cleaning is non existent just toss-em what I do watch for is what I call "Tiger stripping" where the edges of the pads running low on LSP.

You`re and this method the reason I bought the smaller backing plate for my pc
