    Re: Coating Removal

    Essence Plus went on just like and ‘old school’ liquid paint sealant. I applied to the entire car, took a break, and wiped off an hour later. Literally wiped off easily and left incredible...

    Order arrived today. Looks like the new fulfillment center is in TX - more centrally located.

    Re: Swirl remover

    Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover is a great product. Provides greater correction with a firmer pad - deeper gloss with a softer pad. I also have had great results with CarPro Essence and, of course,...

    I’ve got 3 friends who brought their cars to the local shop for full correction and Feynlab Self-Healing Ceramic and all I can say is ‘wow’. Unbelievable wetness, depth and gloss. One friend was all...

    Re: Recommendation on DA Polishers

    Cannot say enough good things about the Flex 3401. Corrects like a rotary with the ease of a DA. With the option to switch backing plates and the endless variety of pads and products, it can do...
  13. Re: Best microfiber towel for removing and buffing Gyeon Cancoat?

    It may be water based, but after coating the wife’s SUV earlier this spring, the towels I used for final buff and wipe never felt the same against the paint. (After a normal wash with MF cleaner)...
  14. Re: Best microfiber towel for removing and buffing Gyeon Cancoat?

    I have found Wheel Cleaner does a better job of emulsifying ceramic and SiO based products than dedicated MF cleaner - which does a fantastic job on traditional waxes, sealants, and detailers. And...
  15. Re: Best microfiber towel for removing and buffing Gyeon Cancoat?

    FWIW - I just went through this. I decided I would ‘try’ to save my Ceramic Buff Towels. So I filled a bucket about 6” deep with the hottest water I could get from my tap and 2 oz of Wolfgang Wheel...

    I see an 8-10” area behind each wheel well where the paint just looks ‘peppered’ under LED lighting - even if it isn’t noticeable while standing next to the car and looking down at an angle at those...

    Pictures don’t ‘look’ much different than after full correction - but in person, CarPro Essence topped with Essence Plus is incredible. Paint looks literally paint-booth-wet. This is a great option...
