Re: Educate me on coatings
Applying a true coating is more difficult than wax. The coating usually has a flash time where you need to wait to remove. Wait to long and difficult to remove. Miss a spot during removal and you’ll have high spots. Not really harder but more time consuming. Just need to pay attention.
A coating light like Gyeon Cancoat though. Almost as easy

Never have used a coating on my paint- but hearing this in the past is why I have never used one. I have enough trouble as it is with water spotting.
If I knew that wasn`t the case- I would probably try one . I put some on my wheels and was not impressed with the results so far
Re: Educate me on coatings
The application itself may not be, some coatings are very easy to apply and remove. However, it’s the preparation required to apply them that is a lot more work and IS more difficult. Get one part wrong and it’s been a waste of time.
Re: Educate me on coatings
I`m a long time coating user and will say the application, while not all that hard, is not easier than a sealant or wax. I find it takes a little more effort and attention to the application to make sure it goes on right and to avoid any high spots. For me the benefits of having a long lasting LSP on my car that saves me time on the maintenance and makes washing the car easier validates the time/effort to do the work.
I`ve used a few coatings and don`t recall encountering any water spotting issues; At least not when using CQuartz UK or CanCoat.
Re: Educate me on coatings
Seems like coating a vehicle might be more trouble than it is worth, though when I have a car prepped I think it would be fairly easy for me to put one on. I`d definitely love the longevity of it.
I noticed Optimum has a new and improved HyperSeal that is supposed to last over a year. Wonder if it would be simple to use for a beginner?
