Which would give the most gloss essence or reflect? debating on which one to get. essence or reflect after being wiped down with eraser. And would these polish be ok on glossy strips before coating with Cquartz tio2 and gliss?
 
I never used Essence but Reflect is one of the best final finishing polishes on the market IMO.
 
I had a bottle of Reflect and I was not a fan of it. Maybe it was a bit old but I found the working time to not be that well and it dusted. I do use Essence and it works well with either coating. I found it to work better than Reflect in overall performance.

I don't have experience with Essence before Cquartz ti02 or gliss. Another good question.

Essence works just fine with TiO2.

Reflect is a very rich product, meaning you need very very little. Any dusting problem is due to too much product or a hot panel. Just an FYI for anyone reading or if you ever try it again!!

I tried every which way to use it to no avail. I did get it in a trade on AGO so maybe it was an older bottle even though it was never used prior to me getting it. I don't know if I will use it again as I have found a finishing polish that I prefer to use more that is not a primer polish.
