CARPRO Essence PLUS SiO2 Non-Abrasive Gloss Agent 250ml — Hydrophobic, High-Gloss Quartz Resins

CARPRO Essence PLUS is a non-abrasive SiO2 gloss agent that restores and enhances ceramic coatings while adding a hydrophobic, high-gloss quartz layer to paint.

Essence PLUS is formulated as a semi-permanent nano-agent to repair, revive, and protect automotive paint surfaces—whether the vehicle already has a durable ceramic coating that needs refreshing or uncoated paint that requires a protective SiO2 boost. It blends ceramic-repair actives, high-gloss quartz resins, and hydrophobic nanoparticles to deliver improved gloss, enhanced water beading, and partial correction of fine swirl marks without abrasive polishing.

How does Essence PLUS restore gloss without sanding or heavy polishing?

Essence PLUS uses SiO2 chemistry combined with quartz resins to lay a thin, refractive layer over the paint, filling and masking micro-imperfections. That layer increases light reflection for visible gloss improvement while avoiding abrasive cutting stages.

• Non-abrasive formula suitable for delicate or previously corrected paintwork
• Quartz and resin blend fills micro-swirls, improving perceived clarity
• Creates a semi-permanent, reflective SiO2 surface for lasting shine
• Works by hand, D/A polisher, or rotary for flexible application

Will Essence PLUS repair an existing ceramic coating that looks tired?

Yes—this product is designed to rejuvenate degraded or abused ceramic coatings by replenishing SiO2 content and adding a fresh protective layer. It doesn’t replace a full professional recoat but extends the coating’s performance and appearance between full services.

• Replenishes SiO2 on older coatings to restore hydrophobicity
• Improves gloss and water beading after thorough surface prep
• Compatible as a maintenance step for many ceramic systems
• Useful when full decontamination or recoating isn’t practical

What results can I expect on uncoated paint and how long do they last?

On bare paint, Essence PLUS will deposit a protective SiO2/quartz layer that enhances shine, provides water-repellent behaviour, and reduces light surface contamination. Durability depends on conditions and maintenance; expect semi-permanent protection that lasts longer than typical waxes but shorter than professional hard coats.

• Immediate high gloss and improved color depth
• Strong hydrophobic effect for easier cleaning
• Lasts several weeks to months depending on exposure and wash routine
• Repeat applications extend protection and gloss longevity

How do I apply Essence PLUS for best performance?

Application is straightforward: start with a clean, decontaminated surface, then work section by section using a D/A polisher, rotary, or by hand with a soft foam pad. Buff off residues to reveal a uniform glossy finish and avoid applying over heavy contamination or loose paint defects.

• Wash and decontaminate paint thoroughly before use
• Apply thin, even passes with a foam pad or microfibre applicator
• Buff off with a clean microfibre towel to final gloss
• Allow cure time per ambient conditions if needed for max hydrophobicity

Who is this product for? CARPRO Essence PLUS is aimed at detailers, enthusiast owners, and pros who need a fast, non-abrasive maintenance solution to refresh ceramic coatings or add SiO2 protection to uncoated paint. It’s ideal when full correction or a new coating isn’t possible but you want improved gloss, stronger water beading, and easier ongoing maintenance.
