This is a short review of CarPro's Essence: Extreme Gloss. First let me say dealing with Cory Carruth at [email protected] has been a great experience! The car I worked on is a 2011 Porsche Turbo in Platinum Silver. The paint was in very good condition and had 22PLE applied 18 months ago. I started with a wash of Chemical Guys Citrus Wash followed by CarPro IRON X. THE PAINT DID NOT REQUIRE CLAY.

I applied CarPro Essence with a microfiber pad. The results were nothing short of amazing. Depth, shine, smoothness; medium defects were removed with 2-3 passes. This was followed with a CarPro Gloss pad. Again, amazing!!! I've used $$$ in products, pad, etc. and nothing has come close to what CarPro has provided in the form of Essence. I am so pleased. Easy on and very easy off. I will be coating the turbo with CQuartz tomorrow. I'll post more then.

I used a Flex XC 3401 VRG with a Meguiar's DA Microfiber Cutting Disc Buffing Pad prior to switching to a CarPro Gloss Pad.

Really looks great!

Do you use a foam interface between the Flex and the Meg's MF disc? You don't find the Flex wants to wander a bit?

I did not. Not even with the Xtra cutting disc.
 
Cool, thanks for the info! Looks like I'll take my DAMF discs out of hibernation soon!
