Gyeon coatings before EVO lineup was introduced.<\/p>\n<p>With respect to the original Pure, these are some of the advertised differences with the new product.\u00a0 Pure EVO calls for a (shorter) 12-hour dry time for curing.\u00a0 The ease of use is better.\u00a0 But it is supposed to have the same candy gloss Pure.\u00a0 Although improvements within a brand in the past few years have not been limited to Gyeon, as we have seen innovations from established companies in addition to the growth of new coating brands.\u00a0 I was still excited to see what Gyeon has to offer!<\/p>\n<p><iframe

one panel at a time applying several drops to the microfiber coating applicator pad.\u00a0 For large panels (tops, SUV side doors) I split those panels in half.\u00a0 You, in low humidity air-conditioned environments, have the flexibility of up to 10 minutes of optimal removal.\u00a0 Though I found the experience to be better and more efficient waiting from 3 to 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>I do have a suggestion for you, especially if you are using a high SIO2 Coatings, long term coating, or if it is your first coating.\u00a0 People will often suggest a two-towel method.\u00a0 One towel is for removing and spreading the majority of the coating excess and the second to remove the rest.\u00a0 IN GENERAL, UNTIL YOU GET REALLY EXPERIENCED REMOVING GLASS COATINGS, I RECOMMEND USING AT LEAST 3 TOWELS.\u00a0 A product like Gyeon Pure EVO, although not difficult, I recommend even more so (4).\u00a0 Even after several times using Gyeon Pure EVO I expect to use a minimum of 3 microfiber towels for coating removal.\u00a0 The tackiness (somewhat more effort\/grabbiness upon removal) is what you often give up for having a more robust and durable coating with a candy like shine.\u00a0 The first towel is popularly a 300 to 350GSM for the initial wipe off and the second towel is usually 350 to 400GSM for excess coating removal is the common method.\u00a0 Gyeon has microfiber towels that I believe work well from application experience.\u00a0 I used the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/The-Rag-Company-M99\/Edgeless-300-Microfiber-Towel-Yellow-P1672\/16-x-16-S1\/\">Rag Company Edgeless (Yellow) 300<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/The-Rag-Company-M99\/Eagle-Edgeless-350-Towel-Lavender-P1654\/16-x-16-S1\/\">Rag Company Eagle Edgeless (Lavender) 350<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also using a few more drops of this particular coating than usual helps with the ease of removal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large

This car left this home a little earlier than I would like due to an emergency.\u00a0 They adhered to my strict instruction to not wash for the first week at least.\u00a0 The car traveled from Gainesville, Florida to near Atlanta, Georgia, then to Tampa, Florida before returning to Gainesville.\u00a0\u00a0 I paid my clients a visit two weeks later and was pleasantly surprised to hear and see how well the coating was working for them.\u00a0 The car pictured below past two weeks without washing and probably a couple of rain showers in between.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-42017\" src=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Car-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"VW after application\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Car-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Car-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Car-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Car-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Car-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another word of caution for this coating and also other coatings.\u00a0 Many people do not realize there are coatings which are high quality yet vulnerable while it hardens early on. The phrase &#8216;outdoor friendly&#8217; has been misunderstood by some people who had bad experiences with this coating.\u00a0 Outdoor friendly is more in reference to ease of application in a not so perfect environment.\u00a0 Although the odds of moisture diminishing this coating has dropped in part due to the reduced 12 hour window, you ideally want to let it cure in doors.\u00a0 Many people do not realize, coating outside before a very foggy evening may be nearly as consequential as leaving it in a rain storm.\u00a0 At the very least especially if you have to leave the car out doors, I recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Gyeon-M91\/Cure-P1417\/400-ml-S1\/\">Gyeon Cure<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Gyeon-M91\/Ceramic-Detailer-P2458\/400-ml-S1\/\">Gyeon Ceramic Detailer<\/a> a few hours after completion.\u00a0 Those products are designed to protect the coating during critical hours.\u00a0 They are also meant to help with water spotting, which is especially important in that first week to a month as the coating is getting harder.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-42016\" src=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Macan-Coated-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Macan coated\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Macan-Coated-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Macan-Coated-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Macan-Coated-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Macan-Coated-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Macan-Coated-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Do you like candy?\u00a0 For the record I am at the time of writing this article a newly accredited detailer for two coating companies.\u00a0 But for much of 2022 and 2023 Gyeon Pure EVO has be a staple of my detailing lineup and has received great feedback from my clients.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-42015\" src=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Fiat-Coated-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Fiat coated with Pure Evo\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Fiat-Coated-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Fiat-Coated-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Fiat-Coated-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Fiat-Coated-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Fiat-Coated-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I think this is a great 2nd coating or a good 1st time coating for someone who is very comfortable with meticulous detailing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gyeon Pure Evo &#8211;
