    That means that FC did it's job.

    let me correct myself. After the FC I tried Essence to remove the haze left behind, and that's when it did nothing, so I used FC to finish it off instead. Essence didn't even remove the light haze on the piano trim which surprised me.

    Re: Carpro Essence xtreme Gloss

    I have read a couple of different things regarding gloss enhancer’s cure time.

    1. Wait 1 hour then coat
    2. Let it cure for 12 hours before coating

    Does anyone have experience with curing.

    The SiO2 in it cures the longer it is allowed to sit after the initial wipe off. If you don't have time then 1 hour is fine. I would recommend a prep wipe either way just to be certain there are no polishing oils remaining on the surface.
