CarPro Essence: Extreme Gloss

A unique finishing polish that combines a silica resin and an abrasive compound into one solution to becoming an innovative all in one product.

Essence by CarPro is an innovative finishing polish that has a variety of different roles. Essence contains a light abrasive in its formula, which allows it to remove medium-light defects on all different paintwork.

It also contains a silica resin which can fill minor marring, whilst also leaving a protective layer that drastically increases gloss and instils a self-cleaning effect onto the car. This silica resin also helps improve the bond between CarPro Cquartz Coatings such as Reload, Cquartz and UK. 

This means in no extra time and at no extra cost, you can add gloss, thickness, and durability as part of your final polishing step. 

Features and benefits:

• Minor defect removal due to abrasives
• Minor filling ability due to Quartz resin 
• Primer base coating for CQuartz coatings 
• Standalone protection for Reload spray coating
• Gloss increase over standard finishing polish with added protection 
• Applied by hand or machine 
• Improve scratch resistance of soft paints for easier CQuartz application

 Application:

1. Ensure the surface is clean of all oils, grease or previous waxes, etc. 
2. Wipe down the panel with CarPro Eraser
3. Apply 4-6 dots of compound to your polishing pad or hand applicator, and work it into the paintwork at a low speed
4. Increase the speed slightly to generate more heat into the panel to maximise it's ability to bond to the paintwork
5. Wipe off the residue and move onto the next section. 
6. You should wait approximately 1 hour before applying Cquartz coatings over Essence. 

Do I have to use Eraser between Essence and CQuartz?  

How long does CarPro Essence last?

We expect 1 year on its own but we recommend applying reload or CQuartz over top for the much better hydrophobics and dirt resistance. This will provide 115+ Degree contact angle instead of 90 deg contact angle (not so good) with Essence alone.

CarPro Clearcut Compound

CarPro ClearCut is the compound you reach for before your finishing polish, such as Reflect!

CarPro ClearCut was developed to QUICKLY remove defects whilst allowing you to easily view your work through the polish.

Within 1-2 passes you can begin to watch the defects literally disappear before your eyes as the compound begins to become transparent. This allows you to continue cutting as needed OR stop as soon as the defects are removed and you find yourself ready for a finishing polish. In some cases and with the correct combinations this incredible next-gen compound may also be used as a 1 step product!

CarPro ClearCut is an extremely fast acting liquid abrasive built from the ground up for efficiency, performance, and speed!

Unlike other popular compounds on the market, ClearCut doesn't fool you by swelling the paint or hiding water spots and scratches just to see them re-surface later! With NO fillers ClearCut wipes off fully and a simple Eraser wipe down EASILY removes any lubricants.

Unlike compounds of the past, CarPro ClearCut has its own method of application for optimal results... reversing the traditional "heavy to light" method, we start with lighter pressure and finish heavy! Additionally, I find myself using a bit more compound with ClearCut than I do with traditional compounds.

Say goodbye to hours of wasted time and hello to efficiency and less labour costs!

This compound provides extraordinary cut, and an impressive finish.

With the capability of removing scratches as deep as P1000, CARPRO ClearCUT is the PERFECT tool for a 2-step job on any paint or even 1-step on many medium to hard paint. 

 FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Next-Gen Compound
• Extremely fast cut
• Rapid cut
• Hologram free
• No wax, fillers, or silicone
• Low dusting
• Removes p1000 grit and up
• Body shop safe

• Compatible with a variety of foam, microfiber, and wool pads

DIRECTIONS:

1. Prime (clean dry pad) with a very thin worked in layer of compound and add an additional 3-4 pea sized drops of product
2. Spread product across a section
3. Raise speed to HIGH speed with LOW pressure 
4. Use MINIMAL pressure for first 2-3 passes increasing pressure with each pass
5. Increase pressure with each pass, finishing down with heavier pressure

Do I have to use Eraser between Essence and CQuartz?  

If you're using Essence by machine and you wait until the vehicle is finished then you can apply Reload or CQuartz after you finish the vehicle starting in the same direction you polished. If you want to be ultra safe you can still use Eraser but in our testings, to date, we have not seen any failure when we skipped Eraser.

If you're using Essence by hand then we recommend you use Eraser before coating. (Use isopropyl if you don't have Carpro eraser)

How long does CarPro Essence last?

We expect 1 year on its own but we recommend applying Reload or CQuartzUK over top for the much better hydrophobics and dirt resistance. This will provide 115+ Degree contact angle instead of 90 deg contact angle (not so good) with Essence alone.

GTECHNIQ P1 NANO COMPOSITE POLISH

Features And Benefits

Breakthroughs in nano-structured composite materials have allowed us to develop an incredibly uniform abrasive particle on the nanoscopic scale.  This has allowed Gtechniq to manufacture a polish that requires almost no lubrication – giving it three major advantages over traditional polishes:

1. With many more active particles working the surface, the polish works faster with less effort

2. Virtually no lubricant means there is no ‘drop back’ – the amount of lubricants in traditional polishes are designed to hide minor imperfections which are revealed again when the polish is washed off  - with P1 what you see is what you get

3. Smaller active particle size means the surface does not heat up nearly as much. The lack of heat also means you can make several passes over the same area to remove stubborn scratches, without the fear of over polishing

When tested against leading hand polishes P1 outperforms. And, because P1 does not use fillers, your car’s new finish that used a lot of elbow grease, will not deteriorate.

Plus instead of needing a cutting compound, medium compound, and finishing glaze - you just use one product with whichever foam or wool pad you need. P1 will do the work of these three products with less holograms.

Perfecting automotive surfaces using Gtechniq P1 requires half the amount of passes with the rotary machine than with conventional systems, allowing for more time enjoying your car than maintaining it.

 Directions

• Shake well before use
• Ensure the surface you are working on is not in direct sunlight and is cool to touch
• Make sure polishing pads and surfaces to be polished are clean, and contaminant free
• For best results use with a hand polishing pad, or a selection of wool and foam polishing pads with a machine polisher
• Apply directly to the surface of the car, or to the polish pad you are using
• If polish dries on the surface, reactivate with water
• After polishing, remove residue with a damp Microfibre Buff Cloth

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place
• Use within 12 months of opening

With P1 Nano Polish, the results you see after wipe-off are the results you get! That’s because the abrasive particles have a rounding effect when they cut, not a scouring effect like conventional abrasives. With conventional compounds and polishes the abrasives leave swirls and scratches behind that are then masked by polishing oils and fillers creating the illusion of a swirl-free finish.

Polishing oils are beneficial when they are used to lubricate the surface during the abrading process, but overuse is common in the industry. Many products use polishing oils to fill or mask the swirls and scratches left by conventional abrasives. Because P1 Nano Polish uses microscopic uniform abrasive particles at the nanoscopic scale, fewer polishing oils are required for the abrading action. Using fewer polishing oils decrease the chance of swirls being masked or camouflaged.

Limited use of polishing oils also means a higher concentration of abrasives in the formula, so less product is needed. Unlike polishes containing diminishing organic abrasives, P1 Nano Composite Polish’s abrasive particles are created from nano-structured composite materials that cut evenly throughout the buffing cycle. This means the abrasives work just as well at the start of the buffing cycle as they do at the end of the buffing cycle.

P1 Nano Polish creates less heat than conventional compounds and polishes due to the microscopic size and uniformity of the composite abrasive particles. Heat is an unwanted side-effect in the compounding and polishing process because it increases the risk of burning through or twisting the paint. P1 Nano Polish generally maintains surface temperatures in the 90 to 100 degree range.

Pad Dependent
P1 Nano Polish is capable of removing 1000 grit sanding marks when used with a wool cutting pad. When used with a soft foam finishing pad, it finishes like a fine polish.

Removes less paint
The rounding effect from the nano-structured composite abrasive particles is less aggressive than conventional polishes. As result P1 Nano Polish effectively removes defects while removing less paint overall.

Water soluble
P1 Nano Polish is water soluble and body shop safe. Any residue or excess product in cracks and crevices can be easily washed away with car wash soap. P1 Nano Polish will not stain trim.

Can be used by hand
The highly versatile abrasive technology found in P1 Nano Polish is also effective when applied by hand. This is especially useful in tight, intricate areas or on thin, small panels that are difficult or impossible to safely polish by machine. Conventional abrasive products can leave scratches and scouring behind that are then masked by polishing oils and fillers. This gives the appearance of good results when defects have actually only been temporarily filled. P1 Nano Polish removes defects without masking so the results you see are in fact the results you get.
