Read Guz post, there are 2 completely different Essence. For the life of me I don't understand why they didn't pick a different name for Essence Plus since Essence was first.
To clarify, you cannot use Essence Plus and recoat with CQuartz. Regular Essence is the primer for CQuartz.

Get in the habit of taking pictures when you drop off your car at the dealership. Take right there in the service bay for all to see. Next time they destroy your paint hand them a bill along with before and after pics.

Either essence or polish. I take down high spots or spot buff marring with pinnacle advanced finishing polish, use erasure and re-coat.
Don't over think or complicate it.
You wouldn't want to to use HD Speed because it has a sealant in it
Mike Philips has an article on "Do not wash car". You print large block font on paper that says "DO NOT WASH". Tape it to the windows, steering wheel, center infotainment stack.
I also have and give my clients rear view mirror placards from Car Pro.
It states that if the car is washed they will be responsible for reimbursement of the coating installation.
If you hit them with a bill for $900-$1200 they'll take you seriously next time. They won't pay it... but.
