like 3D Speed but WAY better
By Shaina
from Indiana
on August 2, 2023
Verified Buyer
Great AIO product for a quick shine up and light scratch removal. Closest thing I can compare it to as far as ease of use and removal and look afterward is 3D Speed, BUT this product actually cuts not just hide scrathces by masking them for 4-6 months until the 3D Speed wears off . I haven't tested it long enough to see how long the "shine" and protection last, but seems to be pretty good product.
Pros
  • actually cuts and works rather than just masking
  • ease of use is a 4/5 star
  • leaves protection behind after polishing up and shining up the surface
Cons
  • the wipe off can be tricky if left on too long or if surface is too hot or cold, but overall pretty easy

Worth the money
By Kelsey
from Valparaiso (area), Indiana
on June 1, 2021
Verified Buyer
I started using this product by hand to work out a few small imperfections in my Chrysler 300's paint, but I've since used it in multiple applications, and I've not been disappointed. There is definitely a place for it, there is not too much cutting power (this is after all an all in one). I need to get a different lid for mine, as it does not come out the spout but the base of the spout, but that's the packaging, not the product. All in all, I've been happy with this product. I'm looking forward to using it more extensively with an orbital polisher.
Pros
  • easy removal, easy to work with, low to no dusting, great shine.

I I se this item and severe water spots On the windshield and back window. But you must buy this item with the rayon polishing pads. A regular pad won’t work

Jewelers dream!
By Jonathan
from Las Vegas, Nv
on July 23, 2020
Verified Buyer
Glossy and 10 foot deep is just one way I would say this makes paint look. Car pro really steps out of the box when it comes to the polishes and this is a phenomenal polish for paint that has been leveled out and ready for polish. Works extremely well with the Rupes yellow pad!
Pros
  • Reflective paint and insane gloss! Easily one of the polishes on the market for the consumer!
Cons
  • Nothing.

Favorite finishing polish
By Bruno
from Exton, PA
on April 24, 2020
Verified Buyer
This thing is so good at finishing. It's super easy to spread and almost disappears, wiping it off is like magic. The gloss it leaves behind is great and I usually use this right before coating with CQuartz.
Pros
  • Spreads easily, wipes off like a dream. Very glossy.

What a shine
By James

on October 4, 2018
Verified Buyer
Leaves a beautiful finish and is very easy to use. With a one year old at home time is very limited to work on my car so anything that gives results and saves me a minute is worth it.

Pros
  • Easy to use. Wipe off is effortless. Very low dusting and doesn't stain plastic trim.
Cons
  • Maybe I'm fooling myself about the severity of some of the imperfections I was hoping it would also remove but after all, it's a final polish and coating.

Carpro GREAT company!
By Mark
from Alamogordo, NM
on June 18, 2016
Verified Buyer
I ordered a .5L bottle, and AG sent me two .250L bottles. After some thought, I was happy that they did. Easier to handle a smaller bottle, and not cracking open a larger bottle to use. I've read the many great reviews of this product, and feel I'm experienced enough to achieve similar great results with this product.
Pros
  • Like basically all things with the Carpro Label, great company
Cons
  • None

You Will Get Spoiled
By Troy
from Sarasota, Florida
on February 3, 2016
Verified Buyer
Makes the best finishing polish out there or replace your cleaner wax with it like I have. It offers real protection (superior to waxes or sealants , finishes incredible, and lasts! I top it with Opti-Seal for added slickness but it's still good on it's own. Finally a durable one-step!
Pros
  • Use it with a microfiber pad and get pretty impressive correction for a one-step.
  • Semi-Permanent filling for perfecting a stubborn finish.
  • Better protection than typical waxes or sealants
Cons
  • You do actually have to use it as a polish to get best results. Simply applying it like a wax still gives good results though. Not really a con but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Great finishing/prep polish or one stepper
By Haris R.
from Houston, Texas
on January 21, 2016
I've been using Essence on customer cars as well as my own cars since its release. It's a fantastic finishing polish but you can use it with something like a microfiber cutting pad for more intensive correction if desired. I've attached some photos of my Miata that I corrected with only essence and a cutting pad. Very versatile and incredibly easy to use. Wiping away this stuff is effortless. Fantastic for prepping your paint for CarPro CQuartz or various other protectants. No need for any additional wiping down with CarPro Eraser. I know I'll be using this product for a long time.

Pros
  • Unbelievably easy to use. Can be used as a finishing polish with a finishing pad or as a one step correction polish with a cutting pad. Preps paint for applying CQuartz or other LSPs.
Cons
  • None.

I bought this product very skeptical but wow I am very pleasantly surprised. I used to be Menzerna fan but after this I won't be buying all these several bottles of different polishes and compounds, this really polishes, protects and shines!
Pros
  • Easy to apply
  • ultra shine
  • leaves silica protection
  • cheaper than menzerna
Cons
  • none
