With so many spray-on products being (in my opinion) irresponsibly marketed as fully fledged ceramic coatings, I believe consumers should have a healthy level of skepticism about any of the new products that hit the market.<\/p>\n

I polished this 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, including the oxidized aftermarket repainted carbon fiber hood.\u00a0 Afterwards, I protected the vehicle with a silica sealant.\u00a0 Protection products like Gtechniq C2V3<\/a> or Carpro Reload<\/a> would fall into the realm of spray on protection products that I normally use.\u00a0 I would find out a week later that the oxidation would return!<\/p>\n I was ready to inform the client that likely the previous owner had a cheaply done (low solid) clear coat respray which lacked significant UV inhibitors.\u00a0 I was ready to inform him the only option was to visit an auto body shop.\u00a0 I decided to polish the hood one more time and seal it with Gyeon CanCoat<\/a>.<\/p>\n One thing that has inspired confidence in me about the Gyeon Quartz line is their apparent conservative marketing juxtaposed by the positive feedback I have heard from its many professional end users.<\/p>\n Silica sealants have trace amounts of SI02 typically around 5% or less.\u00a0 Jeff McEachron lists Gyeon CanCoat in the 30% area and Gyeon Cure at 5% in Si02.<\/p>\n This product would definitely be put to the test.\u00a0 2 layers of CanCoat would be used.\u00a0 I used multiple towels per application, which all (4 total) were discarded.\u00a0 Somewhat to my surprise, I was informed the visible oxidation has not returned yet.<\/p>\n I still made it clear he should still plan on making a trip to a reputable shop.\u00a0 But it appears this has bought him some more time.<\/p>\n CanCoat is unique.\u00a0 It can function as a standalone coating, although I like to put the term ‘light’ in the description to manage expectations.\u00a0 But it also can serve as a much more potent topper than your typical silica sealant in many cases.\u00a0 In regards to the Gyeon line, it has been recommended to wait at a minimum of 4 hours.\u00a0 I know that CanCoat has been used to top coatings from other brands;\u00a0 I would suggest inquiring with a company representative for the recommended minimum application time if you go that route.<\/p>\n I have also found CanCoat to be an effective and efficient option for protecting wheel faces.<\/p>\n If there is one drawback, you need to flush the sprayers really well or they will clog.\u00a0 I have a couple of clogged sprayers that I did not flush out well enough.<\/p>\n There are two other very informative articles on CanCoat I encourage you to read below:<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/initial-impressions-gyeon-cancoat\/<\/a><\/p>\n
