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.

 

Hey doc! Nice review and great pics. I'm about to go out and give mine a shot. Just arrived yesterday! Will keep ya posted! (on AG too!)

 

You ll like the Cquartz too. Just did mine. Easiest part of the job. Yours look great already.

 

Had enough product to do my DD too. That will be the real test of durability.

 

So I finished my Turbo today with CQuartz and picked up my buddy's 991 GT3RS from Porsche (35 miles on it) and headed home to detail it for him. The dealership kindly hosed it down with water filled with calcium and left it in the sun to AIR DRY!!! It took a friend of mine and me 5 hours to correct the paint (new from the factory) to 95%. We had to used a Surbuf RS series pad with Megs D300 followed with CarPro Essence on a MF cutting pad and finished with CarPro Essence on a CarPro Gloss pad. We were very happy with the results and very happy to be done!

 

Came out great!! Wow...

 

Amazing
