My Platinum Silver bullet

This is a short review of CarPro's Essence: Extreme Gloss. First let me say dealing with Cory Carruth at corey@carpro-us.com has been a great experience! The car I worked on is a 2011 Porsche Turbo in Platinum Silver. The paint was in very good condition and had 22PLE applied 18 months ago. I started with a wash of Chemical Guys Citrus Wash followed by CarPro IRON X. THE PAINT DID NOT REQUIRE CLAY.

I applied CarPro Essence with a microfiber pad. The results were nothing short of amazing. Depth, shine, smoothness; medium defects were removed with 2-3 passes. This was followed with a CarPro Gloss pad. Again, amazing!!! I've used $$$ in products, pad, etc. and nothing has come close to what CarPro has provided in the form of Essence. I am so pleased. Easy on and very easy off. I will be coating the turbo with CQuartz tomorrow. I'll post more then.

I used a Flex XC 3401 VRG with a Meguiar's DA Microfiber Cutting Disc Buffing Pad prior to switching to a CarPro Gloss Pad.

Looking good Doc! You've always been solid with the polish/waxes! Who can forget the work on the Speed Yellow 997TT, the silver .2 is looking just as good!

You should come by and check out the GT3RS in the garage while it's still here.
