2016 Black Metallic Dodge Challenger Hellcat - CQuartz classic

Merlin

I love shiny things
Brand new vehicle, minimal swirls, gloss enhancement “jewelling” with Carpro Essence!
Although a new black metallic vehicle, there were some minimal factory DISO swirl marks.
BTW - it was a stick!

NOTE: I'm really liking the Carpo Essence. I did a one step and it corrected the minor swirls.
The best part is the increased gloss. The gloss from Essence EXTREME gloss is off the chart!

Awesome, it's like the metallic is about to pop out of the paint!
How much CQuartz did you end up using with two coats?

I also find it interesting you wiped down with Eraser after polishing with Essence. Reassurance?

Thank you! I was amazed and the metallic pop after Essence!
About 2/3rds of a 50ml bottle
Yes, I wanted to insure there were no residual Essence smudges.
I felt comfortable knowing the surface was "clean" before application.
