I think this is answered in the first couple posts, but I would certainly think not.

Just ordered some Essence and their gloss pad. I plan on compounding with D300 and MF pads. Do I need to add a step between compound and Essence?

Thanks,

I don't think so, besides eraser.

No need for that extra step, you can go straight form the compound step to essence.

There is no need for eraser either, this is a primer for CQuartz, CQuartz UK and reload

My Essence comes in Wednesday. I'm working on a 2002 Vette which I'm holding to use it on first. I'd love to see your video before I get it. Any idea of when you'll be publishing it?

Right on.

I'm not trying to start anything, but Corey mentioned that he could not be certain that eraser would not be needed after "some polishes," especially those that are "oily." Just what I heard from him...

As with any new product, I'm sure we'll find some good and not-so-good surprises as it gets into the hands of more people.

There have already been some hints that application may be tricky in some cases. That's one big reason I can't wait for Joe's video.

I'll be interested to see how it performs for me on badly oxidized single stage paint in a couple weeks.

i ordered a bottle to see if it can babysit my newborn AND get the mail. jury is still out until i get my hands on it.

ha! nah, seems pretty neat. interested in details like abrasive type. a lot of all in ones with protection have chemical cleaners and a compromise for protection, which is understandable. this sounds like it has a more robust abrasive package AND protection package that is leftover.

again, neat idea.
