    Great job Cruz! I can’t wait to see what other options people try this with.

    I wonder how the essence plus would work with Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish spray sealant instead of the Sonax....

    If you say you don’t wash, then what’s the dealio?
    As I was following the forum I was just thinking the same thing, interesting you having success and not even washing do you DECON THE PAINT, if necessary before you polish and go with this combo?, as I’m thinking of your process I can see you more time to concentrate on the polishing , thanks for sharing and that tidbit of sharing video updates to your clients as you polish and seal Entry level combo that's made me a ton of $$$

    Essence Plus is so easy to work with and it doesn't matter if the vehicle has a ceramic coating or not. I bought it to buff water spots off ceramic coated cars and it's so simple. It masks deeper scratches well enough to avoid stripping the coating via compounding.

    I've had a can of PNS in the cabinet for over 6 months and haven't gotten around to messing with it much yet. I'll have to try this method.

    How do you market it? Is it a package? Give a certain name, what it does etc?

    Thx

    So first after the cars are washed I apply a thin layer of essence plus over the whole car with my GG6 speed 3.5 and a Meg's MF polish pad. About 3 pads per car, one for all the vertical panels and one for each side of the car. I leave the ceramic sealant on the car until the whole thing is done.

    Now once the car is done I use sonax PNS and spray 2 vertical lines on a panel and wipe the full length of the panel left to right is slow passes then overlap slightly and repeat.

    Then once I've done that I go over a final time with a buffing towel to remove any left over product and it's done.

    So I have about a dozen cars this combo is on that are approaching a year and the customers love the look, the protection and the price.

    So my one can of PNS (large can) and Essence plus (large one) have made me In two days $1600. That's pretty awesome in my eyes.

    I'm surprised you can leave the essence that long without it becoming to difficult to remove and leaving high spots.

    You are talking about the abrasive one right?
