    Just had to vent somewhere

    sunnva #($($$#

    The 1 time I need to go to a parking place with a parking attendent, I`ve got marring on the hood - as if they took a towel and there are deeper RIDS on the adjacent quarter panel.

    I was only gone for 3 hrs

    I suppose this would be a time to try out my my bottle of Essence Plus I have lying around

    Jeeze. Sorry to hear this. All the more reason to avoid handing our keys over to anyone.

    That sucks! So they just touched your car without your permission? :|
    Regular essence with a cyan hydro tech pad is going to cut both from the abrasives in essence and the pad itself. If you just want to repair the coating you may want to try essence plus with a finishing pad first to see what it does

    Boss Cyan...

    Have not used my E+ yet. I know it will deal with the marring on the hood based on the EP+ reviews I`ve seen

    On the quarter panel, I don`t really need the fill properties of EP....I need to get the RIDS

    Re: Just had to vent somewhere

    My wording is the one that is bad....
    It is Orange..but is CC

    I`m 50/50 on cut vs. Fill.
    Can`t recoat ontop of EP+ - but curiousity wants to see how it does...
    Maybe EP+ on the hood and cut and recoat on the quarter

    Re: Just had to vent somewhere

    Too p1ssed to think before, but I put 1+1 together just right now

    The hood mark is where the attendant put the ticket or removal of the ticket...
    Doesn`t explain the very linear micromarring, but I suppose he decided to wipe it...
    The quarter panel is probably his body and whatever was in his belt (eeks) as he leaned in
    The DS door....eh....

    Re: Just had to vent somewhere

    I had a similar experience when I left my car at the Tesla service center. It was swirled and scratched up in multiple places.

    I used E+ with a white Rupes pad and it got rid of the vast majority of the offending marks.

    Re: Just had to vent somewhere

    What was your base layer.... Kevin

    Mine is CQ UK / CQ

    Coating on the paint is fresh. 3 Months old...
    Debating course of action. Spot polish the 3 panels with Essence and then recoat
    Just go over the entire panels with EP+

    I know EP+ was just released but if anyone has observed the differences, can anyone shed some wiki comparisons on water or dirt behaviour ontop of EP+ compared to the same behaviour on coating..

    Same, similar, different, etc. This was help me steer the course on which direction of correction/masking I go

    Re: Just had to vent somewhere

    Aw man, sorry to hear about that

    Gotta explain the do/don`t do stuff to such people. Every time unless you`re a regular. Also gotta impress upon them that it`s in their best interest to *NOT* [tick] you off. Big hassle, oh yeah...but better than marred paint. I`ve had to, uhm...touch...people to prevent damage and it can become, uhm...unpleasant. But marring is forever in a certain sense while people can get over things.

    Essence cuts. Basically like Reflect. Probably is Reflect with other ingredients. Try the new Essence + and let us know the results.
