Car Pro Essence Reviewed! 6 Months of Testing by OCDetail

[Busy mind]

There is a noticeable difference in gloss when using Essence, even after the paint is fully polished. I just finished up a car doing a full 2-step correction followed by Essence as a primer and the difference was impressive. I would say it added "richness" to the paint. I would much rather use this prior to coating than Eraser or IPA.





Just my $.02

Just a tad envious of that lift. Man that would save me some back pain.

Has anyone heard from Autogeek for the Essence to be available ?

I was never really impressed with the Duetto and NXT so I never bought one.

I was using it on the G15 with a gloss pad for a while but it had the same issue. Tried a few different things but once I worked it longer there was no more issues.

While most of the people using Essence have been using this as a primer to coatings on a finished car, has any of you used it like one would use a glaze to check for its filling abilities and possibly how long the fill stays in swirls ?

^^ Yes, the OP RaskyR1 said he used "everything but oven cleaner" to try and remove it and couldnt, so the durability is promising. COrey from Carpro said it could be durable up to a year. But as far as how long it will fill swirls as an LSP, only time will tell.

Actually the OP is Joseph and he's the one that tested that...I just hijacked his thread.

Thanks Avi. Could you please mention how essence would work as our typical glaze alternate. For an average joe with a detailing sense , Does it fill the average swirls well on an un-corrected surface (assuming the surface is clayed/cleansed)?
