As far as the beads and slickness, can this be topped with a conventional wax or sealants sych as C845 or KSG?

Wow! Those cars look great after Essence.

How would you rate pad clean up after use? Or what are your methods to removing this from used pads?

I asked Corey from Car Pro this question--His response "Yes, I think it will work although I haven’t tested the durability of other products over the top. We expect good results though."

How much product would you consume on an average sedan with gloss pads and MF finishing pads ?

GREAT post. Thanks for sharing your experience. I will admit to thinking i was reading a curve ball off the mound as "filling" goes against the preachings of Our Lady Of St. Autogeek services on Sunday mornings but this looks like a knockout product. I also like the added credibility of your 6 months of experience with it. We all like and read posts and reviews of initial uses of products but a longer time frame speaks louder to me.

And Emily is a little doll face! Maybe dear ole Dad's rubbed off on her...she picked the Ferrari?

I've done a rather large S55 Mercedes, a BMW M3 and still have about 1/5 of my 5oz sample left. A little does go a long way and I may have used more than I needed to and the S55.

Prime pad, or just a few peas and spread?

Sort of primed...I apply a bunch of tiny drops around the face of the pad to start, not thoroughly primed like I normally would though. I do this with HD polishes too. 3-4 pea sized drops after that.
