Only been in the game about a year and use my own car as a test mule but absolutely love CarPro and in the process of switching my go to product line over to them! While I may still use some products from other suppliers, the CarPro stuff just works right the first time!

I know Sky's The Limit (https://www.carpro-us.com/) has been carrying Scholl Concepts products (https://www.carpro-us.com/brands/Scholl-Concepts.html) for a while but I just recently started using Scholl Concepts products.
I recently tried S3 Gold and S30+ and had very good results. It's not a secret to many but it's new to me. You may wish to check 'em out.

In the pics above, the paint has ClearCut with an orange foam pad, which left some marring. The paint is pretty soft on a Kia. So I went to Fixer with a white pad and was able to jewel it out to the above pic. I then put a coat of ChemGuys JetSeal on top of that to protect it until I am ready to put CQuartz on it. I would like to try Essence to see if I can improve the overall look as I think the paint can come out better. Thanks for the kind words!

Overall the paint has had ChemGuys V series on the trunk, I have tried Griots Correcting on the rear bumper, Griots Fast Correcting on the front bumper, and CarPro on the hood. Out of those efforts, the CarPro only took one pass. I also learned that ChemGuys has fillers and makes you look like a pro! While it makes the customer happy, it wasn't making ME happy so I searched for a better alternative.

Looking back at what I went through on the hood, I think that for the minor love marks it had, I would probably go with Fixer from the beginning. ClearCut is definitely for harder paints like BMW and Audi.

A combo I recently tried in "soft" paint...

I used Scholl S3 with Meguiars Microfiber Cutting Disc - 5". This made short work of correction but left micro marring/haze.

I followed that with Scholl Concepts S30+ (https://www.carpro-us.com/compounds/scholl-concepts-s30-nano-compound-16-oz/) and a Carpro CarPro Polishing Pad (https://www.carpro-us.com/search.php?search_query_adv=CarPro%20Polishing%20P ad&section=product) (orange). This cleared the haze and left a shine.

Now it wanted to give it that extra "Jeweling" finish. I went with Carpro Essence (https://www.carpro-us.com/search.php?search_query_adv=CarPro%20essence&section=product) and a Carpro Gloss Pad (https://www.carpro-us.com/search.php?search_query_adv=gloss%20pad&section=product). It turned out stunning!
I think you will be very happy with the results from Carpro Essence and a Carpro Gloss pad. I gave me a clear, brilliant finish.

Yea, it was a three step but it went quick.
