Yes, but most compounds don't. Also most compounds contain a lot of oils. In addition, I would assume if someone is doing a compounding step prior, it is because they are trying to achieve some level of defect removal. I would suggest a wipedown down after compounding if for no other reason to ensure the level of correction they are after has been achieved before going on.

Would I be a moron for putting essence on a polishing pad for my father's new car?

My plan was if I used M101 for example, wipe down with eraser, then polish with Essence, then apply cquartz. About right?

Excellent advice! If you have M105 I think Essence/Reflect would have no trouble with it; spot correct with M101 then compound with 105 and you should be golden. But again, try a test section first.
I have car pro flash and polish pads, as well as Meg cut and polish microfiber pads. So basically try out essence with a Meg cut pad and follow up with a polish pad? I have to play with essence to see how abrasive it is I guess. I want to do a full correction on my truck and coat with cquartz to get a feel for these products. I have been in the detail business for 25 years, but only used this product line for a month. So far everything has been amazing, I'm very impressed. I can't wait to use the essence, just been so busy.....
I'm not a pro, lets just say I cherish my rides and after a few recommendations from people over at Camaro5.com I picked up a 32oz bottle along with A Rupes Yellow foam pad and White Ultrafine foam pad. First off my impressions on the company are 5 stars right now I ordered my products on 28 Nov and received them on them to day 02 Dec, WOW thats the quickest I have received anything ordered online (Even from my home state, Georgia).
Now with the foam pads I ordered, will these work well, I see others...I assume pros have said to use other pads. I want to make sure I'm good with these or need to purchase other ones. Also what is the best temp to use this in, winter is here and I don't know how long the warm weather is going to hold here.
Thanks in advance for the advice, here is the test subject for the product next weekend!
