    Re: Coating "Lite" Options (for mobile detailing)

    Thanks everyone for the help. I went ahead and ordered me some Gyeon Can Coat. It felt like the goldilocks "just right" balance of ease of use and durability of the bunch. I`m excited to get my hands on it and start experimenting with it. I might have to practice with it on my daily first. I plan to polish it out soon and apply CQ UK/SiC that I also have coming my way but I may have to try this first to see how it goes on.

    I know Gyeon has their own primer polish, but has anyone tried applying it over Essence? Wondering if they will play together or if it will affect the durability. I would panel wipe before applying it of course.

    As long as you panel wipe after Essence, there shouldn’t be anything that would interfere whether Essence or Gyeon’s primer polish. I’d still use a prep wipe even if using Gyeon’s primer. Carpro also suggests a prep wipe even if using Essence with a CQuartz coating.

    I did and worked fine. Got a little over 12 months.

    If i was using cancoat i would reapply every 10 months. With polishings every other application.

    For times not polishing i would do a decon wash with an alkaline soap, iron X. I would use the alkaline soap on two prior washes with no toppers or drying aid.

    I would also stop using any of these products a month or two prior before reapplying CanCoat.

    Good to know, thanks for the info! With my order of Can Coat I also got some 3D Super Pre Soak coming in for strip wash duties. I was using Purple Power Vehicle and Boat Wash as popularized on the yootoobs but I just do not care for it. The dilution ratios are laughably weak and foam is non-existant, along with an overly alkaline nature with no real cleaning power besides the brute force of its alkalinity.

    If I don`t have the time or agreeable weather to polish off Cancoat that I applied almost a year ago can I just put another coat on? Come Spring I should have the time to polish whatever is left off and apply a more long term coating. I just need it to get me through the Winter again much like I did last year.

    Just do a strong decon wash with an iron remover and a strong soap such as Reset or similar and then go for it. As Coatings=crack said, don`t use anything else such as toppers or drying aids on the paint or they may interfere with CanCoat. It may not last a year without better prep but should absolutely get you through the winter.

    Durability and prep are closely aligned. Without machine polishing expect to half the durability of Cc as a general indication. Can massively fluctuate depending on your prep, what it`s attempting to bond to etc. Half it again if there is not a solid base already there.

    I would still Iron remover, decon wash with a alkaline soap, use a coating prep spray. I did that to CqUk3 just cuz my cancoat was near expiration. Worked well.

    Yeah agreed but OP is looking to get through spring and i’d say that he has a solid plan.
