Thanks!
I think out of all their cars this is the one that gets left outside 24/7 and is subject to the sprinklers and well water. She's tucked away nice and safe for the winter now though.

Great work Rasky, as usual! what is the ratio you use on the hyper dressing for tires? and if you use it on your car how long does it last on your tires? thanks

Beautiful work Chad. That M looks proper now.
How difficult is it to clean the pads after being used with Essence?

More good work with the G21!
Can you elaborate on the Essence product? I must have missed what this is. A quick google/AG search didn't yield any good results.

Thanks! I have it cut at 3:1 and as long as it doesn't rain it's good for a week or two. I also find gloss and durability seems to vary with tire make. My opinion on tire dressings is different then most too. I figure if it rains the car is now dirty so why does it matter if my tires still look dressed or not?

I haven't tried cleaning one recently but don't recall having an issue on the first car I did I while back. You do want to soak them or wash them right away apparently. I always try and throw my pads in a bucket with water and APC as soon as I'm done anyway so no change for me.

From the carPro site
CarPro is turning the wheels of innovation once again!! CarPro Essence is a unique blend of nano-tech Quartz, high gloss durable resins, and fine abrasives that are blended together at a microscopic level to form something truly ground breaking! CarPro Essence leaves an amazing high gloss finish with semi-permanent fillers and protective capabilities all built in!
Paired with a microfiber cutting pad Essence is capable of unexpected cutting power, while a CarPro gloss pad armed with Essence provides gloss we could only dream of until now! But this is not simply a polish…
In less than the time you take to polish a car with conventional products, CarPro Essence is capable of removing swirls, building your clear coat thicker, leaving higher gloss, and laying down a semi-permanent coat of protection! Oh… and it wipes off like a dream!
Incredibly Essence also leaves a perfectly smooth, deep, reflective, primed layer to build on with CQuartz or Reload! The primer attribute in Essence makes application of CQuartz easier than ever and bonds together seamlessly, forming a shell of Extreme Gloss and protection!
My main intent for his product is to use it as a Primer for Finest after first correcting and finishing the paint. This product boosts gloss and keeps me from having to wipe the car down with Eraser/IPA prior to coating. Here is a quick cell phone pic from a car I just finished where Essence was used as a Primer followed by Finest.
