    Any more Essence Plus reviews?

    Curious to see how this product is working with cars coated with a variety of coatings, specifically Gtechniq and Mohs. There are a couple of nice reviews by Guz and Scott already here.

    Anyone else use this and have opinions? I have a bottle I will be putting to action in the spring.

    Soon. I have a bottle as well but temps to move up a little. Not sure I'll have any swirls to cover, but I want to see how it looks.

    I've only used it to top the Essence Primer so far. No opportunities to use it as a coating repair. The Essence combo is very nice. We'll have to see if the 1 year durability claims are accurate.

    Too many variables on longevity. I wouldn't count on Essence Plus as a long term LSP. It was designed to repair some defects over CQuartz coating.

    I used it on the decklid of my dad's car that was coated with Black Label Diamond coating. It did seem to "hide" some very light scratches and bring out a little more shine, maybe clean the paint a little?. That was about a month ago and it seems to be holding up fine.

    Ill probably be using it soon in the coming weeks on a car I coated last year and the owner has sadly not been able to maintain it fully. Ill definitely do a review on it.

    I will try my bottle when it gets warmer. The only thing I don't like is the expiration date, one year! I will never use a whole bottle in a year. Maybe I can trade some or send some samples. I hate to waste it, that was not a cheap product.

    If left in a cool place, I can almost guarantee you that it will not go bad in a year.

    I recently used Essence Plus over my PPF, had some small scratches from me removing snow from it and not being careful since.. it's PPF and not paint and it filled in the micro-scratches nicely. No coating on my PPF actually, just Pinnacle Black Label Synergy.

    Re: Any more Essence Plus reviews?

    For those of you with Essence Plus, what's the consistency been like for the formula? I'm getting pretty significant separation inside of the bottle, a lot of clear liquid at the top after it sits for a little bit, a bit mayonnaise like texture after shaking like mad. Does this sound normal?
