Whichever you're most comfortable with. I use foam mostly. I find MF and terry cotton absorb a bit more product. I also often apply via machine (PC). I get more even/thin coats.

You should apply it thinly/sparingly. Thicker just means more to wipe off.

For EX-P, I generally apply the first layer by machine (dual action Porter Cable) with a soft foam finishing pad. I apply subsequent layers by hand with a foam applicator. My favorite is currently the Viking "door knob" style model, but I believe that has been discontinued.

Apply EX-P thinly using a slightly damp applicator.

I did apply with a slightly damp foam applicator. Worked well!! I may have applied too much, but it was not a problem removing it. I did not let it haze that long, basically , I apllied then removed right away. Because of temps up here, I will let it cure at least 3 days before applying another coat :D

water is fine, but don't get the applicator wet, just damp ...spread it super thin and it will come off really easy... spread it think and you're in for some work... also apply a second coat about an hour later to ensure full coverage and then try and keep the vehicle dry for 24-72 hours :D

Quick question about the application of EX-P by hand? How much am i suppose to work this into the paint? Am i suppose to just lightly spread it or should i really work it in?

Thanks

spread it as thin as you can get it ... it doesn't get worked into the paint
