Invest in their waffle and wool pads. Use my code MIKEGDIY to order directly from DIY.
Skip hyper compound. Has a horrible finish.
All polishes are pad dependent Mike.

I would go with CarPro Essence as a finishing polish. Sio2 primer adds to CarPro coatings adherence to paint.
Your pads should be fine
Eraser and Prep are equivalent, I preferred Eraser but probably due to spell.
If paint is soft Correcting will get the defects and I’ve used it as a one step with polishing pads.

True and some do a better hob if this. For the op the ease of simplicity having only one product with various pads would be easier than having multiple bottles.
I am not a fan of griot's polishes. Someone sent me samples some time ago and they ended up in the garbage. Perfect Finish which you like does a good job but the dusting kills it.

After further research, I am debating using Gyeon's MOHS EVO? Would that work well with the CarPro Essence? Also, I am somewhat confused. The product description for Essence reads, "CARPRO ESSENCE LEAVES AN AMAZING HIGH GLOSS FINISH WITH SEMI-PERMANENT FILLERS AND PROTECTIVE CAPABILITIES ALL BUILT IN!" If I am preparing it for a ceramic, am I not wanting it to be without any fillers? How does Essence dust?
Also, what about Menzerna's Super Finish 3500/3800? I don't know why, but it looks neat to me. HaHa

Flex 3401 & PE14

It’s what CarPro recommends for CQUK3. You still panel wipe after. Gyeon primer has no fillers.
I have only used under Cquartz and Gyeon CanCoat. Worked well but both are Sio2 based.

Too oily. Skip them.

You don't need a primer polish. If you do use Essence be sure to panel prep wipe it. Same goes for Q2 primer.

Not sure if this is all OBE by now. I was offline for most of the long weekend.

I'm not a fan of the NanoSkin sponges. Had a bad esperience with them. If you don't want to use a claybar one of the reputable clay mitts might be a better option. I use the Blackfire clay mitt on my cars and have been happy with it.
I have Gyeon Prep in my cart to order, but I have some CarPro Eraser: Are they equivalent?
They are in my eyes. I've used both, but tend to use Eraser more because it was cheaper the last time I bought a bottle. I've used both with multiple brands of coatings with no issues. As long as the product removes all the oils and leaves a clean finish you should be good.
Do you use regular lighting or specialty lighting made for detailing?
Nothing special. My first light stand was an inexpensive halogen work light rig I bought at Home Depot. I actually liked the warmer color temp (i.e. more yellow) of the light vs LED because it seemed to highlight the swirls more. The down side is those lights generate a LOT of heat. Great if you want to do some work in the colder months, but horrible in the summer. I had mine for years until it shorted out and caught fire. My new set up is and LED stand I got off Amazon. It's great for use around the house and the garage, but I do feel it's a little harder to spot the swirls.

Do you mean I do not need a primer polish in general or if I use MOHS EVO?
I am having a lot of difficulties selecting a polish. What about CarPro Reflect or Perfect Finish if I go with MOHS EVO?
Also, update: I picked up the vehicle over the weekend, and there was a bit of miscommunication (again). It turns out the dealership only rinsed the vehicle and did not wash it. Overall, I would say the paint is nearly perfect but for several scratches that might have been caused when the plastic used to protect it in shipping was removed.

You don't need a primer polish with any coating. A regular polish is just fine followed by a panel wipe.
