Entry level combo that's made me a ton of $$$
So I've been offering this combo for a year now and I've had amazing feedback but just over the last two days this combo has earned me $1600 in 2 days. That's pretty awesome considering the amount of work needed and the profit margins.
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.

Do you clay the vehicles after the wash?
You wipe off the Essence Plus once you’ve finished going over the entire vehicle on speed 3.5 right? Just making sure.
Does the Essence Plus really fill alot better than anything else you’ve tried?
And the Sonax locks in any filling done by the Essence Plus?
Thanks for sharing.
Re: Entry level combo that's made me a ton of $$$
No clay, I've actually not been using clay for a while to see if it really makes a difference in durability and I haven't seen any noticeable difference in clay vs no clay.
Yes, the whole car gets done before I wipe anything off, and when I wipe off it's after pns is applied to the panel.
For straight filling, I'd guess so, I've not really used any other filler. If you count essence it's hard to say how much is filled vs it's little bit of cut.

So from what it sounds like the Sonax is the real MVP of this combo?
Lasts a whole year meaning? Looks? Beading? Self cleaning ability? [not sure how good self cleaning ability would be without claying]... But what have you found in your longevity results?
Why Essence Plus instead of Essence?
Do you think your results could be similar with any other regular finishing polish? i.e. Megs M205 or HD Polish+?

Just to make sure I’m understanding - you’re basically wiping away the essence plus residue and applying PNS at the same time?

I know optimum says with their system you can wipe off their polish residue with OCW, so I assume you can probably do it with other products. PNS being aerosol maybe let’s it work in a similar way.
Works for Cruz, at least. And he details where lizards are like “Ahh, this is home. Nice and hot.”

Yea, it’s not unheard of, just a bit unconventional but that’s ok.
Re: Entry level combo that's made me a ton of $$$
That's actually how I got the idea and started messing with different sealants to do it with to see how they work out and pns seems to do the best and in typical pns fashion you can tell that it's adhearing to the surface because it gets so I guess you can say over applied as opposed to a normal application method so the first wipe really spreads it out and you can see it smear or spread on the panel and then the final wipe removes what's left.
