I own Essence and have yet to use it. I`ll be doing a new vehicle next week and would appreciate a little education.
What pads, what machines and how many passes?
Anything else I need to know?
Any videos would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff

love the idea of Essence + reload
Hyrdo foam or Hydro2 (lite) for maintenance
Used Essence for the 1st time last weekend. G15 + Scholl Concepts Neo Spider & White pads, I think I went too fast and had some dusting dusting. Applied it at speed 1.5 then bumped it up to 3.5 (I did the washer mod) to work it in. I primed the pad with 5 pea sized dots and a spray of Wolfgang Pad Werks Conditioner. Then put the same amount on again and started. Both pads were brand new. I did 5 passes, it was a bit harder to wipe off than it should have been, but wasn`t super hard. Outside of the dusting and extra effort to remove, seems like a pretty easy product to use.
NOTE: Was my 1st time using my DA for anything besides a Nano Autoscrub pad. And prior to that I had only used a DA for a short bit at the 2 classes I took at the Meguiar`s HQ. So I`m as new to this as can be. If going too fast wasn`t my issue, I did too many passes. It was raining yesterday and today or I would have went out to do the rest of the car - I just did the hood.
Not to change thread but this is related to LOD injury 20 years ago. Thanks Ron!
I personally use Essence with a Rupes 21 with a 5" backing plate (KB washer mod) and Megs 5" cutting or finishing discs.
I recently did a 05 BMW with lots of swirls. I tried (almost) everything all the way up to Flex PE 14 with wool and no help.
I switched to the above combo - Rupes 21/5" BP/Megs 5" mf cutting discs/Essence and they swirls were magically gone!
This included the trunk that looked like it has been used as a shelf for milk cartons for 10+ years. It was a swirled mess.
Not only were the swirls gone but the really kewl part was the additional "gloss" that Carpro Essence added to the finish.
The results below were accomplished with a "1 Step" polish.

Wow!
Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It`s good to be da King !!!
This essence shure looks great and I hope when I have a chance to try it I can get 1/2 half the results as the Kings magic man can
Merlins cars always look amazing

Merlin, I believe those are the shiniest pictures I`ve ever seen.
I have Essence but haven`t used it yet.
Mike, best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Has anyone tried applying by hand? Just wondering
Tampa, Fl
It needs to be worked so it gets a little warm to activate some magic in the bottle.
