I haven't had Reload for a while so I didn't top them at detail time. I don't understand why no one is willing to try Essence then Essence+. Everyone's tests are always one or the other and reload. Essence+ to made to bond on top of a coating which Essence primer essentially is. I'm convinced it bonds better to Essence primer better than bare paint.
Exactly my thoughts. I have been getting the same results and my customers I’ve used the essence twins on love it. I’ve done a couple airplanes with it also with same results.

I've started trying it but only 2 months in so far.

Rookie question: how is Essence Plus applied? Like sealant? Like Essence?

I use it on a black foam pad at a low speed, little goes a long way.

Is hand application another recommended option, or is machine the main way to go (per directions)?

You can do either by hand but, I have the machine's so use them. It gives you a better more even coverage.

Works great by hand on my black wheels. Easy on easy off. One of the best looking black car LSPs. Better than DGPS in my eyes.

Re: Carpro triple threat
I apply Essence+ with the Carpro gloss pads by machine (GG6). I usually also apply the Essence primer with the gloss pads. Kind of like a jeweling step. I don't try to get any correction out of it. I let the primer cure for as long as I can.
The combo of the fillers leaves a very smooth looking surface. I'm not talking about filling scratches. However, there's definitely something going on at some level.

I love Essence+Essence Plus combination. I've been doing the same thing, polish and some correction with Essence, wait an hour or two (clean up) and use CarPro Gloss pads to apply Essence Plus. It looks amazing and on my mostly garage kept car I skip Reload entirely. A couple washes and 5 months later it still looks and beads great, I'm about out of Reload so I'm going to try BeadMaker as the topper.

Re: Carpro triple threat
How important is it to let essence cure for an HR or more before you top with plus?? I just realized I don't normally let it care for that long... Maybe 30 mins or so on average.
