My EX-P+ Review

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

:cool: 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
 
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.)
 
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...
 
Does EX have the same tendancy to leave residue like EX-P does? I've been using EX-P but I'm looking for a new sealant that doesn't have the same problems that EX-P has. I was thinking about Wolfgang and possibly EX-P+ if it's better.

Matt,



That's what Steve says.............. what do you think? Does it "shine better" than EX-P? Did you do a side by side test against EX-P? It would be really interesting to see if you feel that it looks better, and is slicker than the regular EX-P.

Scottwax,



I'm a bit surprised that you find that to be the case. I was under the impression that EX-P was EX with the carnauba removed, and some additional polymers added to take the place of the carnauba. You would think that would make the EX-P more durable? I really need to re-vist EX.............. 4-6 months durability is in a class with Zaino and Klasse! :eek:

How did you apply it EX-P? WOWO or did you let it sit for 30 or 60 minutes? I experienced some streaking the first few times I used EX-P that humidity brought out...I started applying the first coat with the PC & a finishing pad which helps to get a thin coat down & started letting it haze for about an hour before removing...haven't had a problem since.
