Poorboys EX
Can someone please define 'curing' for me. Does this mean applying EX, then leaving it on for xx hours, then buffing off? Or do you apply, allow to dry to a haze, buff, and wait xx hours before applying a second coat. Thanks!

I believe the directions on EX-P say to leave on 30-60 minutes then remove. Curing refers to all of the oils and other ingredients in a wax to evaporate leaving only the wax on the surface. Most waxes or sealants need 12-24 hrs to fully cure.

The longer you leave it on the better i beleive this will assist with your durability. Weather does play into many factors heat,humidity etc..Humid weather just takes it toll on many products making them difficult to work with

So if I apply 1 coat of EX, and wait 60 minutes before removing it, can I then apply a second coat of EX? Or is it then that I must wait 8-12 hrs for it to cure before applying a second coat?

Yes.... you wait as long as you can before removing... then wait 12+ hrs to "cure" and then you can add another layer....
Thats the way a pure sealant works anyway (EX-P)... EX has carnuba... so it might not be the same... (although probably is).....

In time out
When I put on a layer of EX-P (love that stuff!), I wait for about 45 minutes before removing, then another 24 hours before adding a second layer.

EX leave it on for an hour then remove, you can then layer on top. EXP is a pure selant and need a cure time of 12 hours before you layer over top.

I too have found that EXP really needs 12 hours between coats. That said, I have removed it after 10 minutes and had no ill effects in removal. It is a thicker sealant and you must try to regulate how much is used. As with most sealants around a quarter's size per panel at most.
