I haven't used it yet but it makes sense to use as a prep for CQUK and eliminate the need for an Eraser wipedown.

Of course just my .02

Always appreciate the advice Mike!!

That looks amazing. Nice job. I hope I can get my black truck to look that good.

That's one amazing looking truck - and the detailing is amazing too<G>! A lot of what we are seeing (particularly in the reflection picture) is your hard work with the M205, though.

Congrats!

Looking good!

Nice work. You got a lot of practice using CQUK on that beast. How many ml's of CQ did you use? How many total hours on prep, polish, coating, and reload?

Totally don't mind if you don't answer this personal question, but how much did you charge for the polishing and coating?

Firehouse Mike,

Your avatar/logo is very cool. Are you a full-time firefighter, part-time, retired, or do you just have a love for fire

One profession where you could theoretically be a full-time firefighter and full time detailer. I would love a 24hr schedule as some Dept's work.

Great job, that truck looks WET! I'll second Mike on the use of Essence. I have used it twice prior to UK and I definitely prefer it over eraser.
If I may give a piece of advice, to help with any high spots, use a second (medium nap) MF after the initial wipe with a suede. Since I've switched to a 2 towel removal, I haven't had any issues with high spots.
