Gyeon CanCoat For The BMW E92 M3

[@MikeGDetailing]

You will be surprised at how well it holds up. I saw 15 months out of it. To add a second coat it’s a 1 hour wait time per Jeff from Gyeon when I asked him. Give it time to cure and set up. Just give it a shot and don’t worry about slickness and all that other stuff. In the end it’s a temporary solution.

[@narutobroken]

I never got the fascination with slickness, why would you be touching your paint all the time anyway.

[@Ashley-dy7bx]

@@narutobroken I think it's more to do with less resistance when using your mitt/towel, so hopefully there would be less chance of scratching

It looks better after the cure, car craft has a video comparing it to CQ Lite and it makes the paint darker.

Use a microfiber applicator

[@memags]

I just applied Cancoat a few weeks back. Application was super easy. Used the towel for the first coat, let cure for one hour. I then used a microfiber applicator for the second coat and I liked that better. It felt like I was getting better coverage using a back and forth application like applying a traditional coating. I really like the product but your right, it didn’t wow me for a much different look. I let the 2 coats be until the first wash. After the first wash I’m using Bead Maker as a topper. The water beading action is unbelievable, that first wash was crazy. Now with the Bead maker topper it’s not much different. I’m enjoying the combo. It’s on my daily driver and I like to try different things or touch up with a light polish maybe every 6 months, so this fit the bill. Please follow up with your thoughts during a wash and talk.

Man I love this stuff. The perfect blend of ease of application and durability. Been using it for the last 3 years with WetCoat as a maintenance coat every month. The results are really really impressive. FYI: Applying with a suede applicator instead does indeed affect durability and clarity positively. Also I found that applying it one panel at a time generally worked for me, with the only panel I split in two being the hood.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I don't see the need for this product. It took me almost as long as it would have to properly coat the car. We'll see how I like it after washing a few times.

[@Bestwick1983]

@@ObsessedGarage From a time perspective if you are being very cautious in terms of how big of an area you apply it to then I can see why you'd say a "proper coat" would go on almost as quick, however I still feel that the product is far less daunting and forgiving for your average weekend warrior than someone who has the benefit of tons of experience with full fat coatings. That's my take as one of those weekend warriors, but perhaps I haven't spent enough time with some of the more forgiving coatings. P.S. I found the effect of the coating most noticeable, visually, after 2 coats (4 hours between them) and an overnight cure.

[@tonyjoe5707]

@@Bestwick1983 Agreed. I also can't garage my car so I need something easy on, easy off, that doesn't have to be kept pristine for the next 12/24h. Although a big fan of Gyeon kit, Chemocal Guys Hydroslick looks quite good too for the 'weekend warrier'.

What did you maintain this coating with monthly? I'm just trying to maintain my cars at home and coat them. Big fan of the 6 month- 1 year coats I can do easily at home. Super cheap and still get almost the same results. I coated my wife's car with Torque ceramic spray and have been using p+s bead maker. Legit sheds water like I've never seen before. Got a can of this stuff to try in future possibly.

[@billschlafly4107]

I'm leaning towards buying Gyeon Can Coat because: 1. ease of application. 2. Relative low cost. 3. It seems to protect the paint very well. After watching some videos and reading comments it seems that over spray is an issue for some people. Bottom line: Keep that cloth close to the sprayer and point it away from the car.

[@antonyv8171]

That’s how Gyeon products work Matt - Same with Gyeon Cure Spray Sealant . You can’t visually see how much product you’re putting on - it isn’t visible - but LESS is more with Gyeon. 1-2 sprays into a microfibre towel will cover an entire large panel. No need to be splitting up door panels into 3’s.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I question to what effect will this have on protection? If we are add trace amounts of slightly bonded SiO2, what is that going to do to aid in chemical resistance?

[@antonyv8171]

Obsessed Garage why do you need to physically see the product going on to know it’s protecting? If a product like Gyeon Cure is so concentrated, you don’t need to apply tonnes to take effect, little goes a long way and provides great protection on top of your existing coating. But if you’re the dude who needs to see it going on, then yeah go ham with bead maker and spray the crap out of it on your panels directly and buff it in all if that gives u peace of mind!

[@AntEloftheHouseofEl]

The can coat does look better after it has properly cured. Without a shadow of a doubt. But add about 25% onto Gyeon's claimed full cure time. At least in the UK anyway. If you want to top it aswell, I'd highly recommend a coat of Tac Systems Shinee Wax! Man it REALLY shines! The only other thing I've seen give so much depth and clarity was Swissvax Concorso personally.

[@trapcracker]

CanCoat has crazy hydrophobic properties as well.

[@ZelenKai]

I applied can coat to about 1/2 a dozen cars and I still have enough in the bottle to do one more. One car has been going for 6 months and show no signs of coating failure yet. Super easy to apply with one microfiber towel. Just wipe on, flip and wipe off. I did get a few high spots - they are hard to see initially. I think it would be better to do it as you are, with one applicator towel and a removal towel. I just hate wasting towels as they need to be thrown away after can coat usage.

As great as coatings appear to be (I've personally never used one) I just can't get myself away from traditional waxes like the power lock/collinite combo. Looks great, feels great, and I enjoy doing it.

[@chrislindsay5856]

I have had great results with gyeon mohs and gyeon pure, I would say those products have a very similar finish and feel to CSL paired with Exo ( have used all 3 coatings I am mentioning here). I dont think I would spend the time to apply something like cancoat when it lacks many of the properties I would be looking for if I took the time to polish and prep for a coating.

[@ckrampertracing]

Responding to your comment at 2:45 - you won’t be able to get this off without a lot of effort. But it’s great so you shouldn’t have to.

[@junctionautosalon]

I tried to explain to a few people that coatings and sealants all need to have a good tactile experience for me to like it...it's just a personal preference. I want to feel the slickness and be able to see at least a small change in gloss. The protection may be there but if it feels like nothing is there then it's something I won't like.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I feel like this stuff is 100% about water behavior. There was zero change in the look of the paint and it certainly was only leaving a trace amount of SiO2 that will simply change the contact angle. That doesn't always lead to protection.

[@junctionautosalon]

I never thought of it like that. I've been testing consumer/retail level "ceramics" on my cars and run into this issue often. CSL + EXO feels soft, supple and very slick (well after EXO has sat to cure for a day lol) and even the addition of C2V3 still adds to the gloss and slickness. The retail level stuff leaves a LOT to be desired for a tactile experience but the water behavior seems to be ok.

Matt- I would use this as a first step of a three-step process. After polishing and correcting the paint- I would then use this as a paint sealant. Then lay down a nice wax for gloss and then lay down bead maker as your sacrificial layer.

[@bosoares]

Then what's the point of using CanCoat if you're going to cover it with a bunch of inferior products? Once you put that wax on it you won't get any of the benefits of CanCoat anymore. Then Bead Maker will seal the deal and make the car a dust magnet that is shiny and slick.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Bead Maker does not attract dust.

[@bosoares]

@@ObsessedGarage Maybe in Florida it doesn't. Over here I tried enough time to use almost two 16oz bottles, applied it to one car and not to the other, the car with Bead Maker had terrible dust/pollen on it, much worse than cars without it. I sold the remainder of my gallon and will never use that product again.

[@Schwabz33]

If you watch Matt’s video he said that CanCoat did not do anything to the paint but provide SiO2 protection. A high quality wax will not do anything but give gloss,- I’m not talking about about an cheap $20 Wax. But something warm that will just give high gloss. You’re looking at in the wrong direction. Can coat is just to protect the paint. Wax does not protect the paint- This is something that has caused lots of confusion with people thinking Wax is somehow protecting there paint. Maybe there hybrids type Wax’s. But an true high quality carnauba wax will just give a nice deep level gloss. A just side note- There are differences in Shine vs Gloss levels.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3yml3iios2MfpI Interesting comparison. Seems that curing time is 48 hours in his experience - I think that's what he said; can't help thinking that maybe the microfibre you're using Matt absorbs the product and pull it off the paint? Maybe the suede applicator slides the product onto the paint and more of it stays there? Perhaps the rapidity of the on and off experienced with just the microfibre(s) indicates that most of the product has come off? Also surely the low price of the CanCoat is a factor versus more difficult to apply alternatives - there must be a trade-off somehwere. As Matt says, perhaps good for a short term defence against the elements...

I don't think it would make much sense to apply this with an applicator. You might as well just coat the car with a resin based coating.
