No, it seems PBMG stopped carrying reflect.

CarPro US and DI still have reflect.

Reflect is a good polish, but I tend to go for Essence when using a coating just because it's easy and looks fantastic.

Huh weird... I wonder why they stopped carrying it. Reflect is usually my go-to finishing polish.

Essence-Same cut, higher gloss.

I believe Essence has a slightly lower abrasive load compared to Reflect. Same abrasives, just less of them in the polishing liquid.

Essence is a great product. One of my favorite packages to deliver is wash/decon/essence/reload. It's wonderful on black door pillars and works great on finicky paint systems if I can't get Reflect to finish down easily.

Correct - Essence uses the same type of abrasives as Reflect, but not as high of a concentration of them, therefore lower cut.

Also, Essence does contain durable fillers, so for those not looking to fill anything, Reflect would be a great choice as it is very easy to work with and finishes down great with a short working cycle.


Reflect with a yellow rupes pad is great... can clean up some major marring!
