Just LOVE CanCoat, always keep it around as it's so very useful in a variety of situations. Wanna give the 'coating lifestyle' a try before going all-in with a full-blown coating? CanCoat it. Current coating not up to par? CanCoat it. I've used it on top of countless coatings that have lost their pop and it always brings back that 'just coated' look, feel and performance. Neighbors keep asking "Gonna do my car next?" Throw 'em some Bathe, Prep, some towels and the CanCoat, 5 minutes of explanation and you'll have peace and quiet for the rest of the Summer. Paint, plastic trim, headlights, taillights...works on everything. Really good for easily keeping doorjambs nice too. Great, great product that's quick and easy to use, great gloss, excellent water behavior. Standalone use is equally as exceptional, a light polish with Gyeon Primer before adds even more to the the CanCoat experience. Also works nicely on stainless steel clad kitchen appliances! A definite winner... Great color on that Honda too; love me a good, rich blue.
@@jpr96 Daily driver that I was gonna beat the snot out of and maybe not wash as often as I should, CanCoat every 3 or 4 months. A car that was gonna see a bit more care and a little less abuse, Polish Angel combo. That's a really tough choice! I'm a coating junkie, CanCoat included, but the *only* thing that would make me stray from that world would be Polish Angel.
Budget Plan thanks for the reply! I’m having a hard time picking one over the other. It’s for my daily driver that’s garage kept and washed every week.
“Six months-yearly stay in touch with the car, spot polish some stuff without being upset that you have buzzed through your multi layer big expensive coating, and it’s a car , it’s gonna live in the world” These words is the truth for me and that’s the reason until now i like good sealants and products like Sonax Polymer NetShield instead of long lasting ceramics ! Probably i have to try this one too !
I love this stuff. Have been using it for a few years now. It's the best blend of ease of application and durability in the whole line. I use it every 6 months with an application of WetCoat once a month. Warning: Listen to what he says about not spraying it into the applicator cloth too close to the car. I made that mistake the first time and overspray caused some headaches that required a light polish to correct, followed by a reapplication of CanCoat.
@@seabrew1 No correction should be needed if you're following a proper maintenance wash process. Of course I'm generalizing by saying this as it also depends how much the car used, how it is used, your climate/weather, etc.
@@aleksdjukanovic3827 You can go longer than six months, however after 6 I see a noticeable difference in the overall gloss so I've learnt to do it in 6 month cycles. The product does claim up to year of protection and your mileage may vary but for me 6 months is the sweetspot.
Great video. After suffering overspray I now feel more confindent using Cancoat after watching....so many thanks for this 😊 It's now clear to me the mistake I was making was I was using way too much product, think I had run out after 3 applictions. I was holding the sprayer much further away from the towel and the wind must have been carrying the product over to panels I had already done. The overspray is still there but seeing at I have just bought a Rupes LHR15 and LHR75 I can now do a 1 step with Sonax PF and hopefully get that removed. Shame this will remove my 30 month old MOHS Plus but I will use Cancoat as instructed and maybe apply a more durable coating come summer. Interesting about the short pile microfibre, think I used Gyeon Softwipe towels last time....love those things. Thanks again 😊👍
I had CanCoat on my daily driven Abarth 595 and it holded up for 1 Year, no extra stuff applied afterwards. Just a good polish before appling helps alot! Amazing product.
Great video and very well explained. Just had my car coated with mohs and layered with cancoat pro. Nice to know I can use cancoat every 6 months to keep it looking good.
Amazing video and seems to be an amazing product. If this product lasts 6 months in real world conditions on a car driven daily and it provides protection then this is definitely a product every common man should apply on his car. One can should easily last 2 years if we reapply every 6 months. Super value for money if it lasts for 6 months. I'm definitely going to give it a try.
Just installed CanCoat Evo on my daily driver today. Prep was by far the most time consuming part. The actual coating took less than 30 minutes. Wipe on and wipe off. Also installed QuickView to complement it, can't wait to see how it performs.
@@sebastijanbeganovic7867if you want it to perform its best, yes. Think of all the epoxy floors that are peeling up because the floor wasn't prepped well.
Thanks for the video. I am user of different products from Gyeon, truly top notch products. I have not tried Can Coat and I definitely have to try it out. The Gyeon Syncro is a truly awesome kit and this as a top must be a top notch combo.
Mazman hi ... cancoat is surely a great product... but in your case I wouldn’t recommend to put it on syncro ... because you already have the skin on it ... skin is a superb product with great hydrophobic abilities which “protect” your Gyeon mohs underneath ... there is need no need for you to use it maybe after a year or 1 1/2 if you can give it a new kick ... but at freshly applied syncro I wouldn’t do it ... greetings from Germany and happy detailing 🤗
Awesome, answered the question I was going to ask. Thank you Todd, best channel and going to grab some of this product and thank you Geoff also for explaining.
What microfiber is recommended when I go to do a second vehicle? Is 300 gsm too much? Or maybe a pre-washed microfiber towel from a roll considering they’re quite thin? I’m sure using the same towel isn’t ideal by any means
Good morning, first of all I congratulate you for your videos, this coting can coat is possible. Can it also be applied to car headlights after having restored them?
Hello I just bought a new car.. but before seeing this video and find out about this awesome product, I seal it and then wax it .. Now I want to use can coat after seeing all these good comments about this product . can I use can coat over my existing protection ? I maintain my cars paint every week almost using Q2M Bathe Plus and Q2M quick detailer.
It's a pretty universal thread size for the bottle, so I'm sure you can do a little research online and find a supply of them. I don't believe Gyeon offers them as a separate item.
Great video Todd. Jeff did a really great job of going over the details of the product, you could tell he knows Can Coat inside and out, and most of all can explain it. Can Coat has really stood the test of time in and industry that is moving at break neck speed with innovations and new products. I lease my Trucks (I work for one of the OEMs), and like to keep them looing nice and enjoy the detaing them. You and Jeff inpired me to try Can Coat, it's ideal for somone who leases, I like you can add layers, as I would hit it with a fresh layer right before winter, the layering for me is a huge selling point. What is the reccomended temperature range for installation?
Thanks, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Jeff is very knowledgeable for sure, and we were quite happy that he was able to hang out with us for a few days and shoot some videos. As for temps, I like to keep it within that 60-60 degree range. If higher temps than that, make sure the humidity isn't off-the-chart high! I hope this helps.
Keep it in a climate controlled environment and you should have no problems. It doesn't start to immediately cure upon opening like a traditional coating.
@@Esotericdetail excellent. From my understanding this combined with Gyeon Cure, is a perfect combo for a weekend warrior like myself. Much thanks for 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦! I'll stop by next time I'm coming by Columbus!
Hi ... make sure it is not to windy when you use it and turn away from the car to avoid overspray on your paint ... it is easy to use put it is still a ceramic coating which “hardens” out ... and don’t use can coat over the cure ... cure is for maintenance every month or so ... can coat last half a year or longer ... use the cure on the cancoat from time to time 🤗
You don't have the short shelf-life on Cancoat like you've got with traditional coatings. You still want to store it in a cool, dry place, but you should easily get 6+ months after being opened. As stated in the video, you should store it with the metal cap, and not with the sprayer in place.

@@Esotericdetail6+ months...what if I want to do a yearly spring application with this bottle for the next 3 years? Will this bottle last in a temperature controlled space?
How long after application do I need to wait to wash? My car sits outside and gets polllen etc. I would use a gentle sio2 based wash like mckees ceramic rinseless. Awesome vid, thx
Quick question I am building my self a garage 16'x40' in my back yard with heated floor and I was wondering what his the lighting you are ussing in the back of this video? I live in Ontario Canada and I want to start my own detailing business, night and weekend until I have enough customer to quit my full time job.
Great video!! I plan to apply can coat evo in a garage this weekend but the temp will be in the mid 70s and the humidity in the mid 70s, is this okay? Thank you!
“Solvent carrier coating” ? Isn’t a solvent just anything that dissolves in water or am I not remembering my chemistry class correctly? Which is entirely possible haha but can someone explain?
Do you need to use a polisher when you want to put on a new coat? Or can you use a strip wash with iron/tar remover and spray prep to remove the old coating?
I applied Cancoat to my LR4 about 9 months ago and am planning to reapply in July/August. If I machine polish with Gyeon Primer will that be enough to prepare for a new coating?
I used CanCoat on my car 2 years ago. Great easy to apply product. However, after considering how much effort to prep the car - wash, clay, compound, polish, IPA, then apply - I thought why didn't a I just ceramic coat or graphene coat (now available) the car. The shine doesn't come from the CanCoat it comes with the prep work before you apply. Coatings including CanCoat just locks in your work. Just my 2 cents, if you spent 80% prepping your car, do you really want to lock it in for 6+ months, when you can lock it in for 1-2 yrs? Plus with newer products like CQuartz UK 3.0, the setup time is more forgiving (better tolerance when applying in cooler or warmer weather). Sure, you can't go as fast as the guy demo'd CanCoat but you really have to leave CQuartz on for a VERY long time to screw it up. Plus with discounts, true ceramic coating pricing is equal or slightly ($10) to the price of CanCoat. Just something to consider from someone that has used CanCoat and a true ceramic coat. I wish graphene coatings were around when I coated my car. All the benefits of ceramic coating + supposedly more resistance to water spotting and bird droppings. Have fun with CanCoat, true ceramic coats and graphene coatings - very cool products out these days!
What you said makes sense. 90%of our work goes into prepping the car. Why not just go for a consumer grade ceramic coating that will give protection for 2+ years if maintained. It might take a few hours more but if it's a once in 2 years procedure, just take a day off from work and apply a proper ceramic coat. Well said. Point taken.
You can re-apply more often if you like. But if you wait a full 6 months, I'd recommend using Iron for decontamination, and Tar only if necessary. Then you can wipe it down with Prep, and re-apply your Cancoat.
That's more of a car-dependent thing as opposed to a window coating thing. Most cars have no issues with shudder after applying window coating, but every now and then you run into one that does...
What about adding a wax? If I want to place a coat of wax (Gyeon Q2 Wax) on top of can coat, how long should I wait before introducing another layer on top of can coat? 4 hours minimum?
@@thebiblicaldigest When you use a lesser product on top of a coating, the coating can no longer do what it's designed to do. Coatings have 2 functions...provide long-term good looks, and ease of maintenance / repellency. When you put something on top of a coating, you lose that all-important self-cleaning characteristic and gain instead the characteristics of whatever is on top.
Right afterwards I would use a damp towel. If it's been a while I would try something like Gyeon Prep. If that doesn't work, you'll need to do a light polish. High spots are simply from too much product and / or not wiping it off completely.
I recently had my car polished and coated with cancoat by the detailed It looks *amazing but I want to add another coat of cancoat myself for extra durability and because I enjoy detailing My question is, if I’ve added absolutely nothing to the cars finish except for literally just one wash do I HAVE to use the prep spray or can I just put the cancoat right on? I’d prefer not to have to have to prep if I don’t need to The wash I used is meguiars gold class and the original coating is less then a month old
It's all about the maintenance. If you're looking for a product to apply to the surface for the "set it and forget it" mindset, you will be disappointed in any product you choose. Use and maintain this, or the more traditional coatings, and your paint will stay looking good for much longer times. The more extreme the weather (hot or cold), the more you need to keep after it.
@@Esotericdetail I was going to ask about a glaze. Question answered. Another great vid about a Gyeon product. I've bought a fair few items of theirs here in the UK after watching your vids. Looks like I'll be buying another now. I seem to be accumulating more Gyeon products at the expense of other brands. Once again great vid, always looking forward to the next. Oh, just another quick question. When you say don't wash for xx amount of hours, how about standing out overnight with chance of dew? I don't have a garage.
@@Esotericdetail thanks for your valuable reply. I don't have that much patience to do everything myself😁. I'll just better wash my car regularly with bathe +. In our country it's tough to see a shining car due to the environment we live in. And mine is looking much better than most of the cars. Lemme take my car to a detailer periodically to keep up it's shine 😄
ESOTERIC I already apply Gyeon Cure silica spray sealant maybe once every 3-4 washes as an aid for the Pure coating - is adding CanCoat again on top unnecessary? Thanks
Polish is an abrasive, not a topical solution. So if you machine polish your car, wipe it down with Prep to fully remove any residue, then apply Can Coat.
Hi I'm planning to use CanCoat on my new car that's being delivered next week. After applying CanCoat how long should I wait to top it off with Cure? I'm planning to do 2 layers of CanCoat first, as said in the video 1 hour between each layer.
Nope! The coating is a far slicker product, BS has a really dry feel (not so slick) to the touch, it's similar to Polymer Netshield. Anyway it would change the water behavior & feel of the coating
Have used this as a stand-alone and it is really good stuff. Over 12 months + and the paints beads like mad. What kind of towel/ applicator can I use to add it to the paint as I used the original one previously???? Does it add more gloss to an existing coating and would re applying it every twelve months to maintain your original coating be a good idea????
Is CanCoat safe for vinyl graphics and wraps? I have a 2020 Ranger RTE package coming in within the next 2 weeks and it will have the RTR graphics on it. The owner also wants me to detail his car once it is wrapped.
I'm thinking of using this on my next 6 monthly make over. I've previously clayed and machine polished a couple of times so the finish is good to very good. I'm torn between Can Coat and a full on coating, but, I have to do my detailing outside and I'm worried that a full on coating might be more susceptible to the elements when applying. I'd obviously pick a still day when using either.
I have the can coat on my brand new car since september 2019 and is still performing exceptionaly well with no maintenance except cleaning the car with microfiber glove,ph neutral shampoo and two buckets system! If i want to reapply what is the steps I need to follow?Do I need to machine polish in case of micro marring and then apply the product?of course I give it a good bath I believe!thanks for your reply!excellent videos!
Nice video, you make a great job. After use can coat may I still use the microfiber towel or I have to throw it away? What is the best way to apply on wheel, with microfiber towel or microfiber applicator?
I'd pitch them just out of safety concerns. While it wouldn't be my first choice for wheels, if I were to use it that way, I'd apply the same as on the body.
@@Esotericdetail In the vid it was 6+ to about over a year (from what the gyeon rep said to have seen) so a huuuge difference. I thought you guys maybe tested it on some particular car.
The first time I used this product, I felt like I was very careful with spraying the towel away from the car so not to get overspray on the paint. However, despite my best efforts, I still got overspray. I didn't spray my towel point-blank almost like shown, but I felt like I was fairly close. Any tips to prevent this overspray and what to do if you see it? I tried applying more CanCoat to the areas but it didn't work.
You simply need to spray directly into the towel like Jeff did in this video. If you were to see any overspray while applying, simply wipe down that area with more Cancoat as the solvents will help break it down.
On a car the size of a Mustang ,how many times would he fold and respray the new fresh cloth with the coating ,or can you use the same side to do the entire car..Also do you recommend wipe down after applying each panel or wipe down after the whole car is done .
Don't over-think it! You're going to be re-using sides of the towel. Per the instructions, apply, wipe-down, and move on to the next section to apply and wipe-down.
Last question guys.. thanks in advance.. i use my car daily for my work.. I will apply tomorrow morning can coat .. I will let it sit for 24 hours ..the next day i will apply Gyeon cure just in case the car gets wet .. I usually use car cover cause of Spring ( February - may ).. is it safe for my car to use car cover ,after 24 hours of its application? Cause there is a lot of dust in my area and I am afraid it might be a problem with the curing of Gyeon can coat. Ps : I know it’s not the best for the paint to use car cover but at least i use it only when the car is clean to avoid swirls as long as possible.

Cancoat by far. Wetcoat is more of a maintenance product for quick protection, whereas Cancoat is a dedicated coating.

Now I want to use can coat after seeing all these good comments about this product . can I use can coat over my existing protection ? I maintain my cars paint every week almost using Q2M Bathe Plus and Q2M quick detailer.
You'd want to strip off your existing product first so that this could bond properly with the surface!
So...what are the differences in Can Coat pro? How much active material and longevity can you expect?
This looks awesome! I also just ordered some new gyeon wax!
Great video thanks fellas.
Looks good can you use this product on gel coat thx
I love being able to use the atomizer sprayer where can I buy a backup pack or batch? thanks
It's a pretty universal thread size for the bottle, so I'm sure you can do a little research online and find a supply of them. I don't believe Gyeon offers them as a separate item.
My point is you still have to prep it like any other coating so just put a proper ceramic coating and use this as a topper
Many people are still intimidated by a regular coating, which is why this is so popular as a stand-alone product.
Great video Todd. Jeff did a really great job of going over the details of the product, you could tell he knows Can Coat inside and out, and most of all can explain it.

Keep it in a climate controlled environment and you should have no problems. It doesn't start to immediately cure upon opening like a traditional coating.
Great video! How is the depth/shine with this product?
It's an actual coating product, so like others, it provides a very nice glow.
Might be a dumb question but rather be safe then just to do it, but do I need to prep the car like use a iron remover or can I just apply to my car
We would recommend doing a deep clean, Iron, remove any tar, Prep wipe, then apply!
Excellent video. Great demo
what is the expiration date? Are properties lost after opening?
I think once opened you can expect around 6 months
If I don't have access to a garage, any tips for application?
Apply it exactly as Jeff shows in this video, just make sure you're in the shade.

You can why not..
Yes it is much much easier
Great video and info!

Thx
Great video!! I plan to apply can coat evo in a garage this weekend but the temp will be in the mid 70s and the humidity in the mid 70s, is this okay? Thank you!
That would be just fine!
Hi, can i use primer before Cancoat applying?
“Solvent carrier coating” ? Isn’t a solvent just anything that dissolves in water or am I not remembering my chemistry class correctly? Which is entirely possible haha but can someone explain?
Do you need to use a polisher when you want to put on a new coat? Or can you use a strip wash with iron/tar remover and spray prep to remove the old coating?
No need to machine polish just to reapply more.
great video...i'm going to try this on my sons new car, if i heard right, it's ok to use cure on top of can coat correct ?
Thank you, and yes you can!
Can you add this on top of the Gyeon glass coating for the windows... ? Or would that cause streaking... ?
There's only one way to find out! We haven't tried it that way so can't comment with any degree of confidence.
Can this go on top of gyeon primer polisher?
Yes, you can use Gyeon Primer before applying Cancoat.
Great video…. So no wipe off?
Work it in, lightly buff off...just like Jeff did in the video.
I applied Cancoat to my LR4 about 9 months ago and am planning to reapply in July/August. If I machine polish with Gyeon Primer will that be enough to prepare for a new coating?
It certainly should...
Can this product go over wax
Topp video. Informative :) tnx 👍
I used CanCoat on my car 2 years ago. Great easy to apply product. However, after considering how much effort to prep the car - wash, clay, compound, polish, IPA, then apply - I thought why didn't a I just ceramic coat or graphene coat (now available) the car. The shine doesn't come from the CanCoat it comes with the prep work before you apply. Coatings including CanCoat just locks in your work. Just my 2 cents, if you spent 80% prepping your car, do you really want to lock it in for 6+ months, when you can lock it in for 1-2 yrs? Plus with newer products like CQuartz UK 3.0, the setup time is more forgiving (better tolerance when applying in cooler or warmer weather). Sure, you can't go as fast as the guy demo'd CanCoat but you really have to leave CQuartz on for a VERY long time to screw it up. Plus with discounts, true ceramic coating pricing is equal or slightly ($10) to the price of CanCoat. Just something to consider from someone that has used CanCoat and a true ceramic coat. I wish graphene coatings were around when I coated my car. All the benefits of ceramic coating + supposedly more resistance to water spotting and bird droppings. Have fun with CanCoat, true ceramic coats and graphene coatings - very cool products out these days!
Most people using CanCoat aren't polishing beforehand. This is a quicker way to provide some durable protection.
What you said makes sense. 90%of our work goes into prepping the car. Why not just go for a consumer grade ceramic coating that will give protection for 2+ years if maintained. It might take a few hours more but if it's a once in 2 years procedure, just take a day off from work and apply a proper ceramic coat.
Well said. Point taken.
can this be put on gel coat? would it prevent oxidation from coming back?
Yes you could, but you're probably going to have a continued fight with oxidation.
My car has a traditional sealant, wax system. Do you need to strip off the sealant and wax, then do a paint correction before applying Cancoat??
Paint correction isn't necessary, but I'd definitely strip the sealant and wax so that you get a good bond.
So if we do it as a top up after 6 months we can use a Iron - Tar - and then apply Can Coat. What would the best process be?
You can re-apply more often if you like. But if you wait a full 6 months, I'd recommend using Iron for decontamination, and Tar only if necessary. Then you can wipe it down with Prep, and re-apply your Cancoat.
ESOTERIC awesome thanks for the info. Loving the gyeon coatings on my sq5. Keep up the great videos!
I've heard only good things about their products and positive reviews on this coating. It's been about 6 months since I had my ceramic coating done
AWESOMENESS 💯👍👀
Can you reuse the cloth?
Not recommended.
Can i use Q2 cancoat evo on the front windshield or would the brush jump when in use?
That's more of a car-dependent thing as opposed to a window coating thing. Most cars have no issues with shudder after applying window coating, but every now and then you run into one that does...
What about adding a wax? If I want to place a coat of wax (Gyeon Q2 Wax) on top of can coat, how long should I wait before introducing another layer on top of can coat? 4 hours minimum?
I'm not sure why you would ever want to put a wax on top of it, but if you did, I would give it plenty of drying time first.
@@Esotericdetail Layering. It's done often to better protect the sealant or ceramic coat.
@@thebiblicaldigest When you use a lesser product on top of a coating, the coating can no longer do what it's designed to do. Coatings have 2 functions...provide long-term good looks, and ease of maintenance / repellency. When you put something on top of a coating, you lose that all-important self-cleaning characteristic and gain instead the characteristics of whatever is on top.
Applied this today, too many high spots. Not as easy as they say it is. Whats a good product to remove them?
Right afterwards I would use a damp towel. If it's been a while I would try something like Gyeon Prep. If that doesn't work, you'll need to do a light polish. High spots are simply from too much product and / or not wiping it off completely.
I recently had my car polished and coated with cancoat by the detailed
It looks *amazing but I want to add another coat of cancoat myself for extra durability and because I enjoy detailing
My question is, if I’ve added absolutely nothing to the cars finish except for literally just one wash do I HAVE to use the prep spray or can I just put the cancoat right on? I’d prefer not to have to have to prep if I don’t need to
The wash I used is meguiars gold class and the original coating is less then a month old
Shouldn't need to Prep. I'd recommend trying just one smaller panel or section first to make sure there are no issues.
Does this product work well for UV protection? I live in TX and my truck will live outside all the time in the TX heat.
It's all about the maintenance. If you're looking for a product to apply to the surface for the "set it and forget it" mindset, you will be disappointed in any product you choose. Use and maintain this, or the more traditional coatings, and your paint will stay looking good for much longer times. The more extreme the weather (hot or cold), the more you need to keep after it.
It got thick and gummy and hard to wipe off. Am I putting on too much?
Great video, question can I apply can coat over a glaze after?
Not recommended as you would have bonding issues.
@@Esotericdetail I was going to ask about a glaze. Question answered. Another great vid about a Gyeon product. I've bought a fair few items of theirs here in the UK after watching your vids. Looks like I'll be buying another now. I seem to be accumulating more Gyeon products at the expense of other brands. Once again great vid, always looking forward to the next.
Oh, just another quick question. When you say don't wash for xx amount of hours, how about standing out overnight with chance of dew? I don't have a garage.
Could I apply carnauba wax after the can coat layer
I've a car which is just 6 months old. I use bathe +. I wash every week. If I want to apply this can coat, should I do any clay work before?
I'd strip the Bathe+ before using this otherwise you'll most likely have a bonding issue. DO NOT clay unless you are machine polishing afterwards.
@@Esotericdetail thanks for your valuable reply. I don't have that much patience to do everything myself😁. I'll just better wash my car regularly with bathe +. In our country it's tough to see a shining car due to the environment we live in. And mine is looking much better than most of the cars. Lemme take my car to a detailer periodically to keep up it's shine 😄
Can u use Gyeon cancoat on top of an existing Gyeon pure coating? Any benefits to doing this? Thanks
Yes, you can use is as a maintenance product for the Pure. It will definitely boost the self-cleaning characteristics of the coating.
ESOTERIC I already apply Gyeon Cure silica spray sealant maybe once every 3-4 washes as an aid for the Pure coating - is adding CanCoat again on top unnecessary?
Thanks
If you're regularly maintaining with Cure, then you probably don't need to worry about adding Cancoat to the mix.
Just to clarify, can i apply Can Coat over an recent polish?
Polish is an abrasive, not a topical solution. So if you machine polish your car, wipe it down with Prep to fully remove any residue, then apply Can Coat.
@@Esotericdetail 🙏🏻 thank you.
Hi I'm planning to use CanCoat on my new car that's being delivered next week. After applying CanCoat how long should I wait to top it off with Cure? I'm planning to do 2 layers of CanCoat first, as said in the video 1 hour between each layer.
I'd just wait until the first time you wash it to apply Cure...
@@Esotericdetail thank you, will do!
Can you use Reload for a maintenance topper instead of Cure?
Probably, but we don't use that product and can't speak to its compatibility.
After Can Coat, can I use Sonax Brilliant Shine detailer, as a maintenance on a monthly basis?
We wouldn't. It's best to use something that is designed for maintenance of ceramic coatings.
Nope! The coating is a far slicker product, BS has a really dry feel (not so slick) to the touch, it's similar to Polymer Netshield. Anyway it would change the water behavior & feel of the coating
Does this have any filling ability? Or do I need to polish first?
No, it does not have fillers so to get the most out of the looks you'd want to polish first.
Sir can coat can be used on interior's.platsik.leather for protection? Kind regards
No, it is for exteriors only.
@@Esotericdetail thanks sir
Have used this as a stand-alone and it is really good stuff. Over 12 months + and the paints beads like mad. What kind of towel/ applicator can I use to add it to the paint as I used the original one previously???? Does it add more gloss to an existing coating and would re applying it every twelve months to maintain your original coating be a good idea????
Should you avoid clay barring a ceramic coated car?
You should avoid claying any car, with or without coating, if you're not machine polishing afterwards. We have videos specifically on this topic.
ESOTERIC thanks for the reply 🙏
Can I use it whithout any detailing?
I'm not sure I follow the question...
No correction /polishing
@@ΗλίαςΚ-ρ6θ You don't NEED to polish with any of the coatings out there. So yes, you can use Can Coat without paint correction first.
So this is the gyeon version of the mcguiars fast finish
Is CanCoat safe for vinyl graphics and wraps? I have a 2020 Ranger RTE package coming in within the next 2 weeks and it will have the RTR graphics on it. The owner also wants me to detail his car once it is wrapped.
Yes it is safe for vinyl graphics!
8 to 10 cars, but how do you clean the spray so that it doesn't clog?!. Thank you
Run it through warm soapy water after use (actually spraying it), then fully rinse out.
I'm thinking of using this on my next 6 monthly make over. I've previously clayed and machine polished a couple of times so the finish is good to very good. I'm torn between Can Coat and a full on coating, but, I have to do my detailing outside and I'm worried that a full on coating might be more susceptible to the elements when applying. I'd obviously pick a still day when using either.
Just go for a full on coating. Pick one that has a shorter curing time. 90% of the work is prepping the car.
I have the can coat on my brand new car since september 2019 and is still performing exceptionaly well with no maintenance except cleaning the car with microfiber glove,ph neutral shampoo and two buckets system!
If i want to reapply what is the steps I need to follow?Do I need to machine polish in case of micro marring and then apply the product?of course I give it a good bath I believe!thanks for your reply!excellent videos!
You can simply apply more when you're ready. If you feel it needs to be polished, then you can polish first...but it is not necessary.
@@Esotericdetail Do i need to use Gyeon iron or Gyeon prep is enough ,before i reapply can coat?Thanks in advance!
@@giorgosnak9927 I prefer to do both!
Is this okay on top of ppf?
Yes it is.
Nice video, you make a great job. After use can coat may I still use the microfiber towel or I have to throw it away? What is the best way to apply on wheel, with microfiber towel or microfiber applicator?
I'd pitch them just out of safety concerns. While it wouldn't be my first choice for wheels, if I were to use it that way, I'd apply the same as on the body.
@@Esotericdetail What cost-effective product would you suggest for wheels/calipers?
@@klutzycarlover If you're not using a standalone coating for them, then I'd recommend Polishangel Supersport!
What would be the durability on this?
Typically 6+ months as we discussed in the video.
@@Esotericdetail In the vid it was 6+ to about over a year (from what the gyeon rep said to have seen) so a huuuge difference. I thought you guys maybe tested it on some particular car.
The first time I used this product, I felt like I was very careful with spraying the towel away from the car so not to get overspray on the paint. However, despite my best efforts, I still got overspray. I didn't spray my towel point-blank almost like shown, but I felt like I was fairly close. Any tips to prevent this overspray and what to do if you see it? I tried applying more CanCoat to the areas but it didn't work.
You simply need to spray directly into the towel like Jeff did in this video. If you were to see any overspray while applying, simply wipe down that area with more Cancoat as the solvents will help break it down.
Who manufactures Gyeon? TacSystem or Carpro?
Gyeon
On a car the size of a Mustang ,how many times would he fold and respray the new fresh cloth with the coating ,or can you use the same side to do the entire car..Also do you recommend wipe down after applying each panel or wipe down after the whole car is done .
Don't over-think it! You're going to be re-using sides of the towel. Per the instructions, apply, wipe-down, and move on to the next section to apply and wipe-down.
Last question guys.. thanks in advance.. i use my car daily for my work.. I will apply tomorrow morning can coat .. I will let it sit for 24 hours ..the next day i will apply Gyeon cure just in case the car gets wet .. I usually use car cover cause of Spring ( February - may ).. is it safe for my car to use car cover ,after 24 hours of its application? Cause there is a lot of dust in my area and I am afraid it might be a problem with the curing of Gyeon can coat.
Ps : I know it’s not the best for the paint to use car cover but at least i use it only when the car is clean to avoid swirls as long as possible.
My job tomorrow to can coat my car!
