Questions & Answers

Is it a long-lasting item?

Durable? Do you mean long-term paint protection? No. Essence Polish only prepares the surface for sealants or coatings; it does not protect the paint. CarPro Reload or CQuartz can be used as a follow-up.

Is it possible to use it as a primer for ceramic coatings from other brands?

I wouldn't advise it because we don't know how well it will work with other ceramic coatings. Ceramic coating by CarPro is outstanding.

Is this a one-stop shop for all your needs?

It can be used as a sealant, but it works best when followed by a ceramic coating.

What kind of pad would you recommend for this?

A white pad is the one I use.

Selected User Reviews For CarPro Essence 250mL

Excellent finish polish that can also be used as a primer
5/5

Excellent finish polish that can also be used to prepare surfaces for CarPro coatings and sealants. It's also a nice finish polish, but it's not as affordable as HD Finish Polish. It's effective and easy to remove, possibly more so than any other polish I've tried. This is excellent material. The CarPro U. br>br> The website is unclear about whether coatings should be applied over this or if it should be cleaned with a panel wipe first, but it does say that if it hasn't been heated enough when applied, it should be wiped down with CarPro Eraser before coating. When/if it's been heated enough, how do I know? Before I apply any coatings, I use Eraser. It's simple, and Eraser isn't too expensive, and I'd rather not have to worry about my coating failing to adhere properly. br>br>If it were this cheap, I'd use it all the time as a finish polish.

Dusting
4/5

Car Pro Essence is as good as it sounds. The opacity is extremely high. It isn't a particularly good correction fluid, but it isn't advertised as such. The only snag was the dust that was created while working with the product. It also attracts a lot of dust, but neither of these flaws would keep me from buying it again because the gloss and shine are so good.

Excellent sheen
5/5

Before applying a ceramic coat, I use this as a finishing polish. The gloss is fantastic, and it also serves as a primer for the ceramic coating. This is an excellent product.

Look at the bottom of the bottle for the expiration date! Please look at the bottom of the bottle for an expiration sticker
3/5

When I got mine, it said it would expire in three months, despite the fact that they are supposed to last a year.

It's simple, it's glossy, and it's well worth the money! Fantastic product, easy to apply with an MF pad or by hand, with light cutting power and insane gloss/fillers that complement a ceramic coating application about 12 hours after the Essence has cured
5/5

Unlike other polishes, this one doesn't require any IPA or paint decon after application! It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!.

Corrections to the paint
4/5

To be honest, I didn't think the product was all that great. It did remove some scratches and add a little shine, but I wouldn't buy it again for the price.

Carpro products are a cut above the rest when it comes to radiance
4/5

This is simple to apply and remove. It gives the appearance of a wet finish.

The seller must be avoided
3/5

This was a fantastic product, but it quickly ran out of stock. br>br>It was purchased in March of 2018 and expired in October of the same year. That's a pretty short shelf life; based on the fact that it was manufactured in January of 2017, the seller appears to have kept it for more than a year.
