| | | EX-P x2
Removed the XMT Glaze and PB Natty's last weekend. Used the AW 50/50 I've read about here. Put on 1st coat of EX-P and buffed off after 2 hrs. Today I washed with DP 4-in-1 and then laid another coat of EX-P. This time I let it set for 1 hr before buffing. It was easy to buff off with the Cobra Indigo MF. Either tomorrow or next weekend, I'll top it off with Natty's, since I heard that sealant doesn't handle "bird poop" too well.
EX-P give it more of a glossy look than the wet look of carnauba. Guess the Natty's will tone down that gloss. Haven't used a sealant till now. I kinda like the glossy look on my light colored SUV. Here are some pics.

| | | NICE! Keep us updated. I just got some AW, going to play with it some time this week.
You said, you heard that sealant doesn't handle "bird poop" too well. I disagree with that. Klasse or Liquis Glass sealants will hold up better then wax IMO. But, most of the time I top sealants with wax. |

Sealants don't do as good a job at prtecting from bird bombs then a quality carnuba (#16, collite). SUV looks great

| I meant Alcohol/Water 50/50. I guess you thought AquaWax. Sorry, guess I better watch the way I use those abbreviations. But I'd like to know what you think of AquaWax when you use it. The prices on AW, as well as Flitz Speed Wax, and Collonite are pretty good. So many new waxes and only 2 vehicles, and only 1 job!! Articsilber

| I used a MF applicator pad. It was a breeze to apply and buff off 1-2 hrs later.

I've use wax on my wheels and a week later brake dusts would still stick to my wheels. When using Klasse twins, it had less dust and plane water will wash most of the dust off. I have had bird poop on the wife's Explorer, whip off with QD. I've use Klasse twins, and or Liquid Glass top with wax. Like I said the bird poop comes right off, don't know if its the wax or sealant! I know some of the cars I detail that come back for a wash are easier to clean, because of the sealants I've use before hand. Waxes just don't hold up like sealants.
Hopefully someone here can chime in that only uses sealants not top with wax, which has run into this.
wytstang, thanks for the info on autopia. I need to check it out.  | | |
