EX or EX-P over Vanilla Moose?

Just a quick question that's come about because I'm getting slightly confused with the whole subject of bonding! I see a lot of people use EX-P over VM with outstanding results, however my question is this:



If most sealants don't bond well to oily products, how come EX-P goes so well on top of VM? Surely we'd be better using EX that has some Carnauba in it which would increase it âہ“waxinessâ€Â� and therefore it's bonding capability?



The only explanation I can come up with is that the Poorboy's sealants aren't polymer based. Am I heading in the right direction with these thoughts or have I got totally the wrong end of the stick?



Could someone explain? It's been one thing that's been bugging me for a while!



Thanks,

Ben.
 
I have moved your question over the the Ask the Manufacturer forum so Poorboy can reply to this without being in violation. It's always best to hear it from the horse's mouth.
 
I have recieved a little bit better durability with EX-P by using a regular pre-polish before it, rather than VM. I keep VM for pre #16 and the like.
 
I've wondered how many people who have claimed poor durability with EX-P have applied it over VM or even PWC. My plans are to use EX-P over either PB's Pro Polish or AIO.



Additionally, I tired EX over VM for the first time this year. Though the look was nice, the beading of EX failed quickly. I have used EX in the past and had excellent and lasting beading. :nixweiss I'm not sure what happened. I will be adding additionaly coats of EX and see what results are acheived. This was a great reminder to keep testing not just product (even the well known) but product combination on your personal vehicle(s) before using them on a customer's.
 
another company with a resin based sealant claims that putting their product over a polish with oils CAN lead to streaking and reduced durability

Mr Clean: I seem to remember PB's Steve recommending that EX-P be applied straight over clean paint, when a while back someone here complained about EX-P's poor durability when used over AIO.
