Thank you...That is very kind.
Actually, the reason I do this Essence pad combo is not related to paint hardness.
Correction:
IMHO Essence does its best "swirl removal" correction work with a microfiber pad.
I am not saying that Essence is a correction compound. Essence is a finishing polish.
For light swirls...Essence and a microfiber correction/finishing pad do an outstanding job.
Finishing:
IIRC Essence contains many different components, fine correction, durable filler, gloss etc.
It also has another property that I find useful and a big time saver. A built in primer.
A built in primer? If you use a polish E.G M205 etc. they all leave behind polishing oils.
Essence has a built in primer that eliminates the need to do polishing oil residue removal.
You know the old drill. Remove all polish residue before LSP using IPA, Mineral Spirits etc.
* I personally prefer Eraser. IMHO It works better!. Eraser is user friendly & smells good too!
There is no need to use Eraser when you are using Essence! Wipe Essence away...it`s LSP ready.
Using Essence for both the minor correction step and finishing step eliminates extra work and time.

In Short:

Essence with Gloss pad = Clean up mf pad micro marring, add clarity and more gloss.
