    How much longer will it still be good? And what is the risk after expiration?
    It will last a minimum of 2 years from born date. However if it's left in the sun, that will diminish the lifetime of the product. Shake well and verify it mixed well. Only adverse effects of expired product is that it won't work as well.

    Speaking of essence I thought this was a great chart for the essence twins that was posted on the instagram page.

    Can I coat my suv a few days after using essence??
    Not sute if this question was asked yet but just wondering if it was ok to coat my wife's suv a few days after doing a polish with essence? I plan to decon and polish the vehicle on one day but am unable to apply my coating on the same day. Will the sio2 in essence harden to the point where it's pointless to coat over and will not bond/merge together? Or should I just use another polish like reflect or similar? Thank you in advance guys

    I am sure it would be ok. All you may need to do is wash the area with Reset and the prep it with Eraser just to prep the surface so that it is clean. Then you can coat.

    Question about durability...
    The Essence specs say that it would last 1 year.
    If topped with UK, will it last the 2 years provided by UK? Or would it start to come/peel off (not sure if this is the best way to describe it)?
