Full Description

CarPro Essence Plus is a SiO2 nano coating made from ceramic coating repair agents, high-gloss quartz resins and hydrophobic nanoparticles. CarPro made it as an extremely glossy, semi-permanent agent for repairing ceramic coatings that have been abused or mistreated over time.

It can fill coating defects, improve gloss and performance and even extend the coating's life. CarPro US calls it the first non-abrasive way to partially repair fine swirls when abrasive correction is not an option. Sizes: 250ml and 500ml.

Expert Notes

Before Essence Plus, a damaged ceramic coating usually meant polishing it off and starting again, as CarPro US points out. Essence Plus builds up and levels the existing coating instead, adding gloss and SiO2 protection.

Treat it as a repair and refresh for a coated car, not a correction. Deeper defects still need polishing, while fine swirls and dull areas are where it helps.

CarPro US adds that it cleanses as it glosses, leaving a smooth-as-glass feel, and that water beads up instantly and glides off, carrying dust and grime with it.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Ceramic coated paint
  • Clear coat

Caution: Use zero pressure and low speed, and allow at least 30 minutes to dry before wiping off.

How To Use

Machine (DA or rotary)

  1. Wash and decontaminate the car well.
  2. Dry and degrease with CarPro Eraser.
  3. Apply 4 pea-sized drops to a CarPro gloss pad.
  4. Work with zero pressure and low speed across a 60x60cm section.
  5. Leave it to dry for at least 30 minutes, then wipe with a clean microfibre.

By hand

  1. Apply Essence Plus to a soft foam applicator and work it in circular motions over the surface.
  2. Leave it to dry for at least 30 minutes, then wipe with a clean microfibre.

Top Tip: Use zero pressure. Essence Plus is a coating, not a polish, so let the pad spread it rather than cut.
