thank you for tips

Quick follow up. I looked at my brothers car a few days after it had rained. He washed it the day before. The hydrophobic properties have diminished a bit. The beading is not as tight. Sheeting is slowed down some as well. The filling part of it has held up fine and appears to have held up very well.

It needs an application of reload or something similar to add some hydrophobic properties back.

His car sits outside 24/7 for the time being.

Is that a pen light @the guz? If so which one?

I'm 80% certain it's the scangrip pen light. I think that is the pen light I had on me and not my Rupes pen light. It's been so long since I did this.

Adding more photos to my review. This is my uncles vette. It has gloss coat on it. I went ahead and used essence plus to fill in the minor swirling from washing throughout the year.

Essence plus worked out great filling in those minor imperfections. There are RIDS that it won't fill but that is ok. It sure leaves an insane amount of gloss. Topped it off with the new version of reload. I had no issues using reload in terms of streaking.

Hi Mr Guz.
What a bad ass corvette!!! that is what a black car should look like.

I just bought Essence +, planning to use it as a standalone sealant, yes my car isnt coated.
Any tips, hints and tricks on the applications and removal?

Should i let it haze after applying it on a panel? Or this is a wipe on wipe off product?
Oh i am using it by hand, i dont have a polisher.

Thanks!!!
