Re: CarPro essence combined with orange Lake Country Hybrids and Flex 3401
First off, thank you for taking the time too put this together Harris. Truly appreciated.
Just an observation, maybe a better comparison would have been using a hybrid wool pad on the Flex. One machine has a foam pad, the other a fiber pad. Please, no offense put forth.
Either way, they both performed admirably well. Was this one step process carried out over the entire vehicle with that aggressive combination?
What will be the LSP?
Again, thanks for putting this together.

The Meguiars MF is the best MF pad I have used as far as ability to correct is concerned. Using M205 with it has really nice correction ability too and thats a finishing polish.
Are you able to try the same test with the LC HD Orbital Blue and Orange and the ThinPro Grey?

You're welcome, Mike. I can probably do a test with a foam wool pad as well. I only compared the Hybrid pad to the microfiber pad since it was what I had used last in this thread on the black Mercedes.
The trunk received Reload as the LSP. I actually finished with PF2500 and applied Füzion on the rest of the panels. I spent most of my time removing some old PPF stuck to the front of the car and only had a little time for this small test.

I actually tried out the ThinPro grey pads in the thread link I posted in the reply above. I might be able to dig up some blue HDs I have laying around and give that a shot. Really I'm just having fun with different pad combos. I'll mostly be using Essence on customer's cars as a finishing polish / prep for coating, but it's still cool to see what kind of correction you can get using it as your only product

I am passionate about this too, just by changing pads I can get a compound to cut and finish like a medium polish or ultra finishing polish and a finishing polish like a medium polish. Pads are something I am currently really into and have over a 100 and counting. Would be nice to see more comparison tests between compounds,polishes,pads,AIO's,LSP's etc. from forum members.

Harris thank you so much for doing this! Like you said they both seemed to have produced similar results. Like Mike stated makes me wonder how the hybrid wool pad would have done. Either way thanks for taking the time to put this together. I always look forward to your in depth reviews and being deployed right now it gives me something to look forward too. Cheers!

Thank you.
Understood good sir. Makes sense now for the comparison. You don't have to give them another go with the heavier pads.
I will keep my eyes open whenever you do a coating job and use Essence as a finishing polish after a compounding session.
The Nissan looks great now.

So as not to hijack this thread I created my own as I need some advice from those here that have experience with the products:

I used a 5" foam wool pad on my flex with Essence on a MBC230 Ceramiclear. And while it did OK, the ceramiclear was just too hard to get decent correction with Essence. Car was hacked up pretty bad.
I switched to Foam wool and M100, then Yellow Megs Foam & Essence. Got about 80% correction this way.
