I still haven't read anywhere whether any testing had been done with other machine/pad combinations. I've all but relegated my free-floating DAs to other duties and use the 3401 and Hybrids almost exclusively for correction and polishing. Anybody have any pad and process suggestions for this combo?

Will work great on any machine- gloss pads and 3401 as well as other combos work great. Try it, only way to see what works best on a given paint with your technique in your environment temp, humidity, etc.

Test section, then either repeat or change a variable and you'll find good results

Eraser, but I mean do you still have to do a full wipedown before the compounding step and Essence?

If your coating after then you should consider it to be safe - depending on the compounds you use.
 
I mean a wipedown after compounding to prep for Essence since it has Sio2 for protection. Then coat or Reload of course.

Thanks guys! Corey, I think I read your answer too quick and didn't quite grasp it! Haha much appreciated! Can't wait to try Essence! Btw I purchased one of the new Cquartz shirts recently and LOVE it. Will be getting a few more soon!

Awesome!!! I love them too!! I have about 8-10 of them now and probably wear them too often [emoji23].
 
Haha it's a good thing though! They're really nice! Plus I have to represent my favorite coating!

I've read on here that you haven't tested a lot of LSP's to top Essence, but I have a decent amount of other brand coatings I'd like to use up. So far I've used Essence on a daily driver and my test panel with Reload. Looks good and got quite a bit of correction on my black test panel with a white BS pad.

I have a ceramic based coating and a quartz based coating from a different manufacturer. I may have to test them myself but I thought I'd get your opinion first.

Why? It contains the same abrasives as Reflect and can also perform light compounding.

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?

Essence would be perfect for new car paint. Why? Because if you're using a light polishing pad only to spread the product, then you can get the protection and shine without removing lots of paint.
 
My plan was if I used M101 for example, wipe down with eraser, then polish with Essence, then apply cquartz. About right?

Depends on your pad choice. M101 is what I use to get aggressive with stubborn defects. Try a test spot to see if Essence can correct the M101 enough to your liking.
 
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!
