    Anyone ever use this? Extreme glass enhancement. The Easter bunny brought me some and I am really excited to try it. At some point in the next few months I plan to do a full detail on my paint and do my best correction. I have very little experience doing this. Will definitely be calling my man Steve before I start anything .
    I will do the usual wash and decon with IronX and clay mitt and carpro eraser.
    I have on hand:
    Meg's 205 and meg's ultimate polish (which I tried and wasnt a huge fan)
    Scholls S20 black
    Essense
    Reload-(need more though)
    Hydro2
    Beadmaker

    If I can get the paint close to perfect I will try a ceramic diy.

    I'm really curious how much gloss this really will add under whatever LSP I choose.

    Anyone tried essense yet?

    It’s in my cabinet. Like all the other compounds and polishes I haven’t gotten around to trying it,

    I did end up using this on the entire truck before applying a LSP and it definitely added some gloss, it was very hydrophobic on it's own and could be used as a stand alone. The cool part about this is that it acts as a primer so if you add anything with ceramic, sio2, or tio2 over the top, it bonds to it very well.
    I highly recommend it, as well as carpro clear cut for heavier imperfections
