Gyeon Q2 Pure vs Gtechniq Exo V4 Ceramic Coatings!

[@iankraemer3569]

You make the absolute best detailing content that I've ever seen. So fair and objective. That being said I really want to see NV Evo vs Cquarts UK 3.0. I had a vehicle that i coated with 3.0 but only kept the vehicle for about 4 months after that so I never got to see how it held up and I just spent a few days polishing and coating my new vehicle with NV Evo so I really want to know the differences you see in performance and durability between the two. Thanks again for the awesome videos, keep up the good work!!!

[@ninetres187]

These coating tests aren’t cheap! Thanks for doing them, and I hope you at least break even from ad revenue!

[@naruto4lfe123]

Would love to see some comparison like these between ceramic coating products made/advertised specifically for windshield/glass application. Loving this series by the way!

[@MyGoToUserName]

I've always viewed EXO as a top coat applied to a base layer of crystal serum lite. That would be an interesting test. The main pro to that combo is the durability of CSL and the water spot resistance of EXO.

[@Deriggs007]

Same here man

[@SteveBreedloveisme]

Came here to say exactly this. Not comparing apples to apples in this video, I don't believe. The Gyeon kit shown is a true ceramic coating+topcoat, whereas the Exo v4 is merely a top coat to Crystal Serum Lite.

[@SteveBreedloveisme]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing but you show a dual-stage/2-layer coating product in Gyeon vs a single-stage product in the Exo. Yes, Exo CAN be used standalone, but typically that isn't the case. I do like the video. you certainly were thorough and aren't saying anything I disagreed with from what I saw. However, I don't think these products are really equal to compare against each other head to head. CSL+ExoV4 is about the same cost as the Gyeon kit you show here.

[@fastmonaro05]

Yeah, I know from Gyeon Can coat they make good coatings. THIS REINFORCES that. Looking forward to the others you compare. EVO against others will be interesting. And with Graphene now coming out and a few others testing it, that should be great to see how you find those.

[@sergiobarraza1806]

As a Gyeon installer the way of application with Gyeon Pure (circular motion), its because of its formula. Over all Gyeon coatings, Pure has the most concentration of SiO2 (about 25% according to the brand) so thats why putting in one layer should be enough to achieve the best performance. Great video Sandro as always

[@Carlos.Rivera]

One layer is very appealing for saving up some time

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks mate, and that’s the very same question I was pondering about 10yrs ago! For me CQuartz was very affordable, very straight forward application and solid performance, so I think those are the things to consider to see what fits into your business best. The difference is that today you have about about 100 more options to consider which is both a blessing and a hindrance at the same time 🙂

[@detaileast]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing right on dude. Truly appreciate ALL your doing for the community. Not a single page as truthful and straight forward as u put it. Your knowledge is one thing but the way you explain and How u explain is top notch. I’m going to give CQuartz a go. I work in a very salty environment out on Eastern Long Island. That’s NY. I’d like to up sell truth to my clients with a worth while application without having to pitch to them falsely made claims of adequate protection. Again thanks and big Aloha

[@jekkOO7]

I love the fact that you are now testing products (like the gyeon brand) that are easily available on mainland europe! I do have a slightly different question about ceramic coatings though. What would you do if you have to renew the coating on a vehicle that has had a coating before, but with very thin paint. What are the best options to remove the remnants of the previous coating?

[@Deriggs007]

Like someone else has mentioned. I think EXO V4 is a topper, not a pure CC. It’s not as durable or anything like that as CSL is, but it’s supposed to work hand in hand with CSL by offering other certain properties the other is missing.

[@johng753]

Another great comparison test between two popular consumer coatings. To my eyes the Gyeon Pure enriches the paint color and looks better than the Gtechniq coating. In addition to the improved appearance Gyeon Pure has superior hydrophobic performance so it gets the win. I am excited to see the new graphene technology as several graphene coatings are being released this year. I think many of us are interested in how these graphene products perform compared to the Si02 based coatings. Hope you test the Ethos Graphene Matrix Coating which is starting to ship this month.

[@mlindner2848]

Interesting test, however, Exo V4 is not designed to be used as a basecoat. An apples to apples comparison would be to use Gtecniq's Crystal Serum Light, which is marketed as a one coat ceramic basecoat.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Gtechniq states on its own website that’s its both a standalone or topper and it’s also the most closely matched in price and specs to the Gyeon - that why I choice it 🙂

These side by sides are great however I would like to see these test results be compiled against one another. Now that we've seen Gyeon Q2 Pure and CarPro Cquartz UK 3.0 tested separately I have to wonder which is better between the two. Do you have any plans of testing Nova Evo in this manor in the future? Id love to see a full comprehensive comparison of a dozen or so ceramic coatings simultaneously, however I fully understand the challenge of maintaining accurate testing while also avoiding burning potential bridges with companies.

[@christophershepherdson7750]

Great video! Have you any experience with coatings from the Kamikaze Collection? They're quite expensive so I'd love to see how they stack up against UK 3.0 or NV Evo.

[@AaronMattheus]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I bought the Miyabi + ISM package. However I was mainly surprised by Miyabi. The ease of use was great. You could even forget about a panel for 15 minutes, and take it off without having high spots or many issues in my case. The thing that struck me the most was how well the product spread and how little I had to use of it. I managed to get 8 layers out of one bottle on medium sized cars!!! I put 2x miyabi 1x ism on one car Then just 2x miyabi on another one And then just 1 layer of miyabi on another car. And if I'm honest, you couldn't even really notice a lot of difference in performance between the 3 cars. So I'm starting to think of using just Miyabi and just one simple layer as a go to coating. If I keep getting 6-8 layers out of 1 bottle it would mean the entire coating would only cost 15€/application and only take 1.5 hour to apply. This seems unmatched in my head. I also think you'd be able to get 1 year of good performance from the 1 layer of miyabi. Which is all i'm looking for, as I quickly want to polish and detail ly car anyway every year after the harsh winter months so it's back to new for the summer.

[@liewnyukchen]

Please make a video for Nova Evo hybrid ceramic coating please!!

[@millerbai]

The tests seemed very professional and well-commented, but I cannot begin to understand why the test panels weren't properly prepared, i. e. polished. It's swirlapalooza over there.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

The panels are fully decontaminated, compounding and given an IPA wipe prior to application. Compounding swirls/marring is purposely left in the finish to help evaluate certain things such as filling and enhancing abilities - I mention this in many videos, may have not in that one.

[@martynedmiston2369]

Thanks Sandro. There isn’t many (decent ) videos showing ceramic coating comparisons, these are two I haven’t tried yet. Great test. My favourite is UK 3.0 with Gliss topper, followed with Reload after washes and I’m over the moon with this combination. Two years and counting! How would you compare 3.0 to Geyon? Thanks again. 👍

[@07wrxtr1]

Try the newer gyeon ceramic detailer as a topper > reload. I have - it's faster/easier/looks better... not sure on durability, but you'll enjoy the experience much more > reload 1.0. I have not tried the updated reload 2.0 however...

[@calvinwong365]

What kind of chemical you using in your double action kwazar? Like to know the dilution ratio.

[@7071t6]

Hi Sandro, just wondering when your test panels are micro marred or have micro abrasions, even through they might be clean as far as top layer surface contaminates, do you think that the small miro swirls and scratches effects the coatings ability to adhere to the surface correctly, after all your asking the coating to self level yet there's so many imperfections and peaks in the surface that its going to be really hard for any surface coating to be level,when there's so many imperfections, swirl marks and marks on the clear coat? Just asking, as the surface if its perfectly as much as can be after paint correction and IPA wipe down is always going to be a better test panel than any with swirl marks and miro scratches etc, IMHO, i wonder what is your opinion on that subject as far as using test panels which are damaged to the point of swirl marks and micro scratches etc. :)

[@cloudstrife8503]

Can you put gyeon q2 pure in the windshield? Ty

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

General ceramic coatings can cause wiper chatter which is the main reason why a more specific glass coating like Gyeon Q2 View tends to be a better option for a windshield

[@cloudstrife8503]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thanks for the reply. Great review! 👍🏻

[@gregsullivan7408]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing why do they cause wiper chatter? What is occurring on the surface to cause it?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I think it’s a combination of the specific shape and curvature of the glass, the wipers themselves and potentially the wipers causing certain ware on the coating. It not always necessarily an issue, but it’s less likely to be an issue with specific glass/windshield coatings.

With any ceramic coating, you need to do a chemical decon every 6 month or so. Simply wash the car, spray a ironromover on the paint, wash again done. If that dont do the trick, also use a tar renover, or evne a warerspot remover. That did the trick for me. What is happening, is that smalle particals, and road dirt, g’ets stück on the paint, downgrading the hydrofobic benefits of a coating.
