Gyeon Q2 Mohs Coating Review - ESOTERIC Car Care

NEW 2022 updated MOHS formula: www.esotericcarcare.com/gyeon...
Q2 Mohs is the hardest automotive paint coating available to a wide range of users. Given the average automotive paint hardness which lies within the range of 3-4H according to the Mohs scale, Q2 Mohs adds up further 3H, which makes the paint extremely resistant to scratches. Extraordinary hardness of the coating preserves effects achieved during the paint correction and is synonymous to a much slower paint degradation during maintenance.

The best detailing video i have ever seen. Specifically about ceramic coatings and how to maintain them properly, here in Mexico is a lot of incorrect information about aplicattion and maintainance. Thanks for doing it for us, beacuse this helps all the detailing industry. Todd Cooperider and Esoteric team.

[@Esotericdetail]

Thank you very much for such a positive review! We go through tremendous efforts to provide good, quality information based off of actual use.

[@rickpom1]

Best Coating video I've seen to date. Too many self proclaimed detailer's talk to hear themselves talk. Todd, you give nothing but pertinent information related to the products you're demonstrating and its much appreciated.

[@Esotericdetail]

Sincerely Rick, thank you! We have also seen an awful lot of less than desirable information being put out there on KZbin, and decided that we need to share good information in a straightforward manner. Stay tuned, as we have a lot more exciting videos in the works, and planned for the future.

Awesome video!!! I have been watching your videos for about six months now and you have become my go to on product info and tips,your knowledge and experience is superb!!!! I am currently in the middle of a full paint correction on my 1966 Pontiac GTO and I have been using Jescar compound and polish. So far the results are insane,the clarity and ease of use are great! I plan on following it up with Gyeon Mohs and Gyeon Booster. So this video was very helpful. I am super excited to see final result! Once again thank you Todd and your team at Esoteric!!!

[@rodmiller417]

Great video. Did it step by step as you out lined. Helped immensely in getting it done correctly. Two coats on my 2018 Audi SQ5 used the entire bottle. What as result!. Glass like finish on my black gold flake colored Audi. The car stays cleaner longer. Doesn't attract dust. Water runs right off no water spots after a rain. Only problem is the have a cabinet full of waxes and sealers that will not get used. Oh well the price of progress. :)

[@Esotericdetail]

Glad to hear that it worked out well for you!!

[@georgechapin5329]

Great job Todd, this was a good one. Very informative.. I just did two small vehicles with one kit of Mohs, 2 coats on the black car and 1 on the metallic silver. Good value! Another misconception out there is that a coating will fill in some swirls and scratches. Not really the case, for best look like you said, paint correction should be done when possible. Keep them coming!

[@MikeGDetailing]

Todd great video and explanation. Lots of very good information. As I was watching the video I came to the comment about stacking all these products together. It all makes sense. If one was to go with Mohs topped with Booster, could I apply can coat down the line to enhance the appearance of the vehicle say for a local car show? Or would using cure be enough and stick with the keep it simple routine. Thanks

[@hi-endautodetailingpuertor8480]

[@chrisfrerichs8360]

This has to be the most thorough video I’ve seen on this product so thank you very much! One observation, I noticed that you mentioned you may use Mohs on wheels and exhaust tips but what do recommend for head and tail lights? I have applied trim to cladding and black trim areas already but stopped short on lamps.

[@Esotericdetail]

Thanks Chris. You could go with either Mohs, or with Gyeon Trim. Both will work well, with Mohs being the more premium of the two.

[@stastro1785]

Awesome video, really comprehensive. Thanks guys :)

[@gytisambrazevicius6280]

Great video Todd, learned a lot about the product and expectations. Your presentation skills are excellent! One area not mentioned was head and tail lamps, do you use Mohs on these as well or do you prefer a different product?

[@Esotericdetail]

Thank you Rich! We typically use Gyeon Trim on head and tail lamps, but you could also use Mohs without any problems.

[@detailisticautocare9819]

Recently transitioned from using 10000X other products to saturating with Gyeon products. Cannot complain at all!

[@howardlee7216]

Hi Todd, I’m going to go with MOHS for one of my cars after long consideration. As you mentioned in another question I asked, I will apply the MOHS to a panel such as a door then remove as this will give the coating sufficient time to bond as per the video it bonds almost instantly to the paint,,,Then a half a large panel such as the engine hood and remove. Thank you for the helpful expert information. Wish me luck as this is my first coating. Also, one more question-after I apply MOHS then the cure as per the instructions and I want to apply the CAN COAT for an extra topper, can the Can Coat be applied right over the coating with the CURE on it or does it need to be wiped down with PREP. Thank you again, Howard.

[@stevebakker6884]

Well done! This video brings me closer to purchasing the gyeon solution for my car, after being introduced to the brand this morning on that excellent British forensic channel. I will purchase from your site as opposed to Amazon because of the trouble you went to creating this video. Feel like replying to a few questions? 1) I don't understand why a car is still susceptible to car wash swirl marks after having a tough ceramic coating like MOHS added. Are these not coatings that can only be removed by sanding down? Seems like the brushes at the automatic car wash places would be to soft to disturb the surface.?? 2) The forensic youtuber, John, tested a 3-part Geyon solution, which is also in kit form, of the MOHS, SKIN, and CURE. I don't think you mentioned SKIN, but I saw your reply about SKIN. If one cares less about gloss, and more about hydrophia action and longer time between washings, what would you recommend for coating layers above the base coat ... SKIN... CAN COAT... etc.? 3) Any comments or notes if these products are going to used on a car with Paint Protection film? Thank you.

[@Esotericdetail]

Thank you Steve. Yes, we put a lot of effort and investment into these educational videos, and all of the purchases help finance them. So given that, we appreciate the fact that you wish to support our store so that we can continue to develop more educational material. To answer your questions: 1. "Hardness" is one of the most overhyped aspects of coatings today. No coating is going to be that hard to where it can't be marred by improper washing and drying methods. In our opinion, the biggest benefits of coatings are self-cleaning characteristics, and long-lasting shine. 2. That is called the Syncro kit. Skin is only available in that kit. You should watch our video on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2mxoJSrl7ikjNU. You should also watch our video on how to properly maintain a coated vehicle as it talks specifically about what to use, and what NOT to use on coatings. This topic is also highly misunderstood, and mis-represented in the detailing space. Most people are preaching to buy more / layer more products. We're the only ones telling people to actually stop buying more products to put on top of coatings! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYW9d2SkfdR0f8k 3. Unless it's a film like STEK that has an incredible hydrophobic layer built-in, you can pretty much use coatings on film just as you would paint. Kamikaze-Collection makes a coating designed specifically for film, and it's called Film Surface Coat: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmLHkqiLaLybirM

[@Brien117]

VERY informational video guys!! I found this very interesting to watch and learn to obtain and use this product. As I may have stated in a previous post, i drive my cars (well my fiance has hers lol) daily BUT I keep them clean being that I live in Youngstown, Ohio. I would mainly need the whole Gyeon Kit, Gyeon Prep, aslo the Bathe Essence, and the Cure as well? I have ALL the compound, liquid wax and polymer wax components here in my home except all of the ceramic coatings as what I just mentioned.. If im wrong or missing something please correct me lol. Thank you soo much guys!! Im gonna be a future customer soon!!

[@Esotericdetail]

Thanks, and glad you liked it. Keep in mind that the kit includes a small bottle of Cure, and Bathe Essence hasn't arrived just yet (as of 12-3-17).

[@Brien117]

ESOTERIC - Fine Auto Finishing oh ok great! I will be lookin here and there whenever it comes out. I do plan on placing an order for the Gyeon MOHS Prokit, as well as the Gyeon Prep and a couple other detailing sprays. What other products are also key to have in my stable along side of what I want to order? Or does go by preference from the customer? Suggestions? Sorry for the constant questions lol..

[@joeb5763]

You mention in other videos that you guys test different products and only sell the best to take the guess work away for the customer. A Lot of people love Carpro Cquartz UK. I haven't seen any of your videos for that product. Is there a reason for that? In your opinion is that product inferior to Gyeon or Kamikaze? If so why? I want the best for my cars and any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Love all your videos.

[@eliluong]

Thank you for the great overview about coatings. I saw your other review on CanCoat. What do you think of Gyeon One as an alternative to Mohs?

[@Esotericdetail]

MOHS is the top of the offerings, and it doesn't compete side to side with One.

[@barryw1944]

what do you do when you put mohs on your car, after it has been on the car for 3 years what applications do you have to do.also pure is suppose to give a candy gloss appearance. would you put pure over mohs or before mohs.or does mohs give high gloss as pure.

[@leeweston9125]

Can you give me advice on how to maximise my time when doing a total car coating.....I’m clear on the wash and deacon process but want help on which coating to follow paint. Would wheels be next then glass, plastic then interior finishing off with the 2nd coating for the paint.many thanks lee

[@dwinsurance]

thanks for the video. it's very detail, i learned a lot, one question, do i still need to use wax (Aero Cosmetics Wet or Waterless Car Wash Wax) after i have done the ceramic coating??

[@Esotericdetail]

No you do not. Please watch the following video for more information on that subject. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYW9d2SkfdR0f8k

[@JuanPerez-yy5hr]

Thank you for the great video If I have already a coating on my car Can I add the gyeon coating or can I add a topper on top to maintain the coating I have on my car

[@Esotericdetail]

If your coating is relatively fresh, I'd just recommend adding a product designed for maintaining coated vehicles. Check out this video to give you some more insight on what / what not to use on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYW9d2SkfdR0f8k

[@benkneisley3001]

Todd, Two questions: 1. Can you speak specifically as to the makeup of cure? Is it a “hyper” spray sealant or wax type product? 2. After applying cure do I️ need to throw away the towels? Your answer to question one may make this question redundant My only frustration with coatings and considering them is the mysteries surrounding them.....you nailed this video. Thanks!

[@Esotericdetail]

Thank you Ben...we try our best to bring you the important information without the fluff or the hype. As for your question about Cure, and without trying to pretend to be a chemist, I would call it more of a coating-lite than a sealant or wax-type product. We even recommend diluting Cure 50/50 as it makes it easier to use, and you can literally make it part of every wash process. And no, you do not need to throw away towels as it won't harden them. I hope this helps!

Hi I have detailing in Bangalore India. Much appreciated vedio. Got lots of info. Meanwhile I wanted to ask after coating what temperature (Reason I have seen some video detailer keep heating methods) we need to keep the vechile and why. Great to hear from you.

[@Esotericdetail]

The temperature post-coating doesn't really matter. I wouldn't put a freshly coated car out in the extreme cold, but otherwise you should be good to go.

[@JoePhotoOnline]

Great video! I've been considering MOHS for a while now and I think I'm sold. Question, if you were going to recommend a coating for a daily driver that may also see some Cars and Coffee type meets and also very limited amount of track time, would you recommend MOHS or a Kamikaze product?

[@Esotericdetail]

For the hardness level and chemical resistance, I'd probably go with the Mohs. Do 2 coats of Mohs, and top it with Cancoat...brilliant!

[@budgetplan8730]

Joseph Brightenstine I think MOHS would be an excellent choice; applied to a vehicle at work last February, holding up great, looks fantastic even though very little post application attention given to vehicle. Bright red paint is always looking excellent!

[@Mike-xt9fm]

Great video and lots of information one question how do you go about getting a certificate for becoming a certified detailer ?

[@Esotericdetail]

That's handled directly through the manufacturers. But you also need to ask yourself a question on why you would need to be "certified". Don't get me wrong...there's nothing wrong with that. But too many detailers think they need some kind of certification to get customers, and that's simply not the case. Customers come to you because of your qualifications, skills, and reputation, and not because they are certified by a manufacturer. If you simply want to learn a lot more about coating, how to sell it, how to apply it, etc, we do have a 1-day coating course that we offer. www.esotericcarcare.com/ceramic-coating-training-1-day-course/

[@Mike-xt9fm]

@@Esotericdetail I agree my main reason of getting certified is mainly for me to have unrestricted access to purchasing the ceramic coatings which require a license to apply but the one day course you provide sounds like a great start .

[@nikkoocampo2534]

Have you guys tried layering Gyeon products like you guys layer Kamikaze coatings (like ISM + Miyabi on the LaFerrari)? Like in the video you said 2-3 layers of mohs would layering 2 layers of MOHS and the third with Prime achieve higher gloss? My friend had just ordered some gyeon mohs and i have some leftover prime from a previous car and wondering if theres a benefit! ( just missed the release of synchro when he bought it )

[@Esotericdetail]

Well, nobody missed Synchro because as of now, the product hasn't been released to market yet. As for your question, we do not layer any different types of Gyeon coatings unless they're designed together. Given their chemical makeups, I don't think they'd play well together.

[@brennanwesso3237]

Thanks for another great video just a question. Can I use one layer of mohs and top it with a layer of can coat instead of two layers of mohs.

[@Esotericdetail]

I wouldn't. Gyeon is very specific about using a minimum of 2 layers of MOHS.

[@brennanwesso3237]

@@Esotericdetail many thanks for getting back to me much appreciated. I'm based in Capetown thanks for the prompt reply and you reckon the two layers will give 2-3 years protection.

[@markcaldwell01]

Is Mohs safe to use on unpainted plastic trim such as the cladding on the lower part of the door on the 2017 honda crv?

[@Esotericdetail]

For that you should be using Gyeon Trim. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYOyoqlrncdsma8

[@nicholasprato8075]

Todd, does Mohs need to be applied in an air conditioned/humidity controlled environment. I have heard for some coatings that it will not get a good bond to the paint and lose durability if it is not applied in a climate controlled environment or if it is applied in a non air conditioned garage. I am curious on your thoughts on that.

[@Esotericdetail]

It's more of a work-ability issue than a bonding issue. With higher humidity, most coatings may become a bit finicky, and they need to be removed much more quickly than in an air conditioned environment. So if you're working in high humidity, just plan to apply to smaller sections, and remove more quickly. I hope this helps.

[@sccarguy]

Hey guys I don’t know if you saw it yet ,but there is a “as seen on tv” 5yr Ceramic coating , two bottles for 19 bucks. I guess we are all out of business and don’t know it yet. LoL

[@DK-lz4uk]

May be a silly question, but could you reuse the towels if you put it in a bucket of water right after youre done with leveling?

[@Esotericdetail]

Sure you could...but do you really want to risk damaging the next car just to save a few bucks for a few towels?

[@rockhills]

Awesome videos guys! I feel like I learn something new with each one! Question though: What happens at the 2 year mark with a coating? Is it that studies show that at the 2 year mark after so many washes the coating has rubbed off? I guess I don't understand how you'd be able to judge if the base layer is there if coating specific maintenance products are used and they each have their own hydrophobic properties.

[@Esotericdetail]

You'll start to notice a drop-off in hydrophobic properties and self-cleaning as well. Usually by the 2 year mark, you also have some other bumps and bruises that the paint has endured, and it would need to be re-polished and re-applied at that time. There's no magical "signs" that it's time to re-apply.

[@chrismay1a]

do you guys have a Canadian version of your site so I don't have to pay tax and duties

[@Esotericdetail]

No we do not...

[@nickvanaerde5365]

Hi Todd, you say that Mohs can be combined with Cancoat but it’s best to wait for about a week or two and then apply CanCoat. Won’t Mohs prevent the Cancoat from bonding to the surface?

[@Esotericdetail]

No problems with bonding at all...

[@howardlee7216]

Hi Todd, one of my cars has Gyeon Cancoat on it right now. It’s been on there just over a week now. If I were to apply a more semi permanent coating such as MOHS or the SYNCHRO kit, should I polish the CanCoat off then apply the MOHS/SYNCHRO kit. Thank you, Howard

[@Esotericdetail]

Correct...you'll want to completely remove the Cancoat before trying to apply a coating.

[@howardlee7216]

ESOTERIC , thank you for the information.

[@moojoautospa5056]

Awesome video Todd. Question. I was told that you could put your MF towels that you use for coating in distilled water and let them sit in there until you are done coating the vehicle then wash them with a dedicated MF solution without having it crystallize on you. Is there any truth to this?

[@Esotericdetail]

Do it at your own risk. To us, it's not worth it...cost of doing business.

[@moojoautospa5056]

[@brettoshea4919]

well thanks for talking me out of going to do gyeon training you are selling multiple products that do the same thing correct ....or correct me if I'm wrong ???

With the 50ml bottle, would I be able to do two coats on a Prius v and a Mazda 3 or only one vehicle? Thank you.

[@Pure3nrg]

What about Gyeon Skin? The Syncro kit has Skin and I don't see Skin sold separately. Do you need Booster or Can Coat with Skin? What does Skin add? Last, how much MOHS do I need for a VW Atlas and Wheels?

[@Esotericdetail]

30ML would be enough. Skin is only sold as part of the Syncro kit. You would only need to maintain it with Cure...nothing else on top!

Does any one know if Gary Deans detail juice is compatible as an after care product? I have done some looking around but can't seem to find any information on what exactly to look for besides "coating safe" Is there a certain property or PH level we are trying to avoid?

I'd stick to using something that is developed by an actual coating company. You should also watch our video on how properly maintain a coated vehicle!

Can I maintain this coating with polish angel rapid wax? Or the cure is a better choice?

[@Esotericdetail]

Be sure to watch our video on how to wash and maintain a coated car...we talk about how waxes, quick detailers, etc are NOT recommended. Use a product specifically designed for coatings, such as Cure.

[@racey1979]

Hi, I had Gyeon MOHS plus applied to my brand new car just over 3 months ago by my local retailer and it came with a 5 year warranty. One thing I have noticed is that water doesn't bead anywhere near as much as it used to, I have to apply cure to get it beading nicely again. Is this normal? My car isn't garaged so is open to the elements all of the time but would have thought beading would last longer than 3 months ? I am also very careful with my washing tequnique and the products i use. Thanks for the great videos.

[@Esotericdetail]

Andy...Mohs is not known for tight water beading like other coatings. It's a hard coating with a high level of chemical resistance. The beading will come from Cure as you maintain it.

[@Esotericdetail]

While the protection will remain beading will indeed decrease. Topping it back off with something like Cure is a good idea.

[@racey1979]

Thanks for taking time to reply :-) The one thing I am confused over though is that I have paid for the dealer only mohs PLUS which on the Gyeon website is advertised as having really top hydrophobic properties. Only the durabead is advertised as being slightly superior. I would understand if it was base mohs but I always assumed the extra layer that was applied with mohs plus is what gave the extra hydrophobic protection and that it would have lasted longer than 3 months. Especially when consumer grade booster is advertised as having up to 12 months. I keep using cure (after every wash actually) and I may invest in some cancoat to give it a bit extra durability, I’ve been put off by booster a little by quite a few negative user reviews. Again, thanks for your help and advice

[@jimshort9266]

Thanks for the questions Andy. This adds a little insight to the product for us considering a purchase.

[@hypervenom9058]

Hi Todd, is Gyeon prep enough to degrease the surface after polishing before aplying Mohs or is Hot water and dishwasher liquid more recommended? Thnx

[@Esotericdetail]

Ultimately it depends on the polish you're using, but for the most part, Prep is all you need. Thanks.

How significant does the prep need to be for a few month old car that has been babied? (Washed weekly, not snow driven)

[@Esotericdetail]

The biggest part would be to make sure there's nothing on the surface before coating...no residues of waxes, sealants, quick detailers, etc. If you're happy with the paint work, then clean it, hit it with Gyeon Prep, and coat!

[@andrewyaadigg]

How do you become a gyeon professional in California to get ahold of the pro products?

[@Esotericdetail]

You'd need to contact Gyeon USA for that.

[@wceagles81]

What is Skin Q2 used for and when should I apply it ?

[@Esotericdetail]

It's just a part of Syncro and is not sold separately.

[@specsbundy1392]

for the kamikaze ISM , do you you recommend Gyeon WETCOAT as a maintenance product ? Not sure if Kamikaze offers their version of a WETCOAT product. Love not having to dry the car and then rewiping entire car again with a maintenace product that is why I like the idea of spraying the WETCOAT type product and then drying car off.

[@Esotericdetail]

You could use it on occasion, but I definitely wouldn't recommend using it during every wash...whether it be on ISM, or any other coating. I prefer using their Overcoat, or something like Polishangel Cosmic Spritz as a maintenance to ISM.

[@nightmarecivic]

Rim or MOHS will be best on exhaust tips?

[@Esotericdetail]

Either works, but a few coats of MOHS would be more durable.

[@rrsnads9602]

Question: If using Cure or Wet Coat, do you need to discard the MF towels after use as you do with the coating?

[@Esotericdetail]

No, you do not.

[@rrsnads9602]

Thanks!

[@fabioaugusto5266]

Hi todd, can i use mohs on all parts of Vehicle? Trims,headlights,bumpers and rims? ThIs product is easy to wipe on and wipe off? Remove mohs immediately after appication? Thanks.

[@Esotericdetail]

Not on trim...use Gyeon Trim for that! All other areas OK. Apply, let it set for about 30 seconds, then wipe off. I hope this helps!

[@fabioaugusto5266]

ESOTERIC - Fine Auto Finishing increrible,fast reply! You are the best !!

[@Canadamaster1]

I'm just curious can this be applied on-top of 3m of xpel film or is there a product that can go onto those films?

[@Esotericdetail]

It can be used on it, but instead I'd recommend using Kamikaze Film Surface Coat that is designed specifically for paint protection film. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmLHkqiLaLybirM

[@Canadamaster1]

Oh ok sweet would you then suggest using Mohs for the painted surfaces or one of the kamikaze products so there all the same?

[@johnsullivan7599]

Can I use gyeon moths on my chrome and stainless steel rims

[@Esotericdetail]

Yes you can!

[@aclvaz]

it's not clear to me the difference between MOHS and MOHS+. Do you advise on using simply the MOHS and apply multiple layers (3 or more)?

[@Esotericdetail]

Mohs+ has yet another layer of coating that you can't get with the Mohs. Mohs+ comes with two different coatings, both sharing Mohs as a base.

[@duanebonney]

Hi Todd. My car has a fresh coat of satin paint. When can I apply gyeon’s ceramic coat?

[@Esotericdetail]

I'd give it a few months, unless the painter cured the paint in an IR booth. If that's the case, you should be fine to coat it within a few weeks.

[@duanebonney]

Thanks Todd. Will do.

[@xFlowRS]

Need some urgent information... Friends from detailing shop asked me to pick between DuraFlex and Mohs+ for my A3, which they are detailing tomorrow. Which one would you pick for a car that I keep on the street (parking lot) 100% of the time? Thanks!

[@Esotericdetail]

I would go with Mohs+!

[@xFlowRS]

​@@Esotericdetail Thanks a lot for a quick reply! Much appreciated! Which advantages Mohs+ holds over DuraFlex in that situation? Asking out of curiousity, I have already told them to do Mohs+ as soon as I've seen your reply

[@johnsullivan7599]

Is it ok to polish this product with a buffer after it drys

[@Esotericdetail]

By polishing it, you will remove it...

[@brianstrelick6098]

How long after the Mohs last coat before you can coat with Boost? Can Mohs be used on Chrome?

[@Esotericdetail]

Yes, you can use it on chrome and metal. I'd wait at least a few hours after your final coat of Mohs before applying Booster!

[@brianstrelick6098]

Thanks!!! I will be jumping over to Esoteric's website to grab some supplies for my new 115th Anniversary edition Harley! Referred from Obsessed Garage

[@osmanhakki5252]

I want to know, Can I apply Mohs on my car with paint protection film, I have a film on my bumpers and hood, i will apply on body of the car, is there a chance I can apply this on the bumpers and hood as well? HELP

[@Esotericdetail]

Yes, you can apply on top of PPF.

[@howardlee7216]

Hi Todd, another great informative video, thank you. A question about buffing/levelling off, my garage is at 70 degrees, about how long should I wait before buffing off MOHS ? From the video I am assuming its a wipe on wipe off OR could I wait 30 seconds or so? Thank you, Howard

[@Esotericdetail]

Thanks Howard. I would just make it simple and do one section (i.e. the door), then immediately remove. And if you had a larger panel like the hood, I'd break it in half. I hope this helps!

[@howardlee7216]

ESOTERIC - Fine Auto Finishing , thank you for the reply and information Todd, very much appreciated. Does the Gyeon MOHS have a rainbow effect/colour like “other” coatings? Also, what are your thoughts on the application of Gyeon Pure? I’m looking for decent gloss levels as my car is black in colour, but at the same time I’d like easy on easy off when buffing/levelling. Thanks again, Howard.

[@Esotericdetail]

Do you mean when applying? It does have a little bit of that look during application, but it really has nothing to do with knowing when it's time to remove. You'd be much happier with the ease of application of MOHS on your black car than you would Pure. I hope this helps.

[@howardlee7216]

ESOTERIC - Fine Auto Finishing , hi Todd, thank you for the information.

[@howardlee7216]

Hi Todd, I have another question. After the application of MOHS and then I apply a coat of CURE as per the instructions, and then if I decide to apply Can Coat, is it okay to apply the Can Coat a week later right over the CURE or does the MOHS coated surface needed to be prepped and THEN the Can Coat be applied. Also, after which the Can Coat is applied, about every so often should the Can Coat be applied? I plan on using maintenance products such as Cure, Bathe, Wet Coat. Thank you, Howard.

[@hockeyplayer157]

Can mohs be done in panels? I have an F150 and would like to divide everything up into 3 different days. Is that recommended?

[@Esotericdetail]

You can do that, just make sure you're not driving it in between.

[@hockeyplayer157]

Thanks!

[@AJF4Me]

I have a Jaguar F-Type and it has a glass roof, do I apply the ceramic coating to it ? What about the plastic hood vets etc?

[@Esotericdetail]

I would apply Gyeon View to it...it's designed specifically for glass. If the plastic hood vents are painted, then just use your regular paint coating. If it's unfinished plastic, then use Gyeon Trim.

[@AJF4Me]

ESOTERIC - Fine Auto Finishing Got it thanks

[@JuanPerez-yy5hr]

Can you put Gyeon coating on top of a different coating

[@Esotericdetail]

If it's a coating that has been on the surface for a year or so, then it shouldn't be a problem. If it's relatively fresh, there's no way of knowing if there are any potential compatibility issues until you try it.

[@oscarbadillo3844]

I'm finally pulling the trigger on a ceramic coating, between this or the kamikaze Miyabi?

[@Esotericdetail]

You can't go wrong either way. With Miyabi, you can lay down just one coat, or go with two for a little extra looks and durability. With Mohs, you have to do 2 coats. What color car?

[@oscarbadillo3844]

@@Esotericdetail it's called atomic silver (grey). Lexus GS F. Did the paint correction 6 months ago, have just applied sealant/wax.

[@scottthompson7009]

So my car was delivered 12hrs after being coated, it traveled about 4 hours along a freeway and had bugs and water on it when it was delivered. I wiped it over with a towel but how do you know if the product is set? Is it too late?

[@Esotericdetail]

If it still looks good, with no water spots, then you're good to go!

[@johnsullivan7599]

Can I apply a coat of sealant and wax I ceramic coat my car

[@Esotericdetail]

No...just apply the coating, and the coating maintenance products. See this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYW9d2SkfdR0f8k

[@DenUil]

What is the average consumption of Mohs per car? Is a 30ml bottle enough for a car + rims?

[@Esotericdetail]

Usually you will use 30ml or less for 2 coats on an average size car (not including wheels).
