Some of you may know I didn’t have the best experience with a coating a couple weeks ago.
This weekend I polished the car (again!) and applied Gyeon Pure Evo. Scholls S30 and an Orange SDO was enough to remove the previous coating. I made made sure to keep my pads real clean as I think the coating residue was marring my soft black paint. I got it to a point where I had my paint looking as it was pre coating before. Now for the coating - I really enjoyed the application. This was a much better experience and it went as expected (and as I expected my first one to go). I played around with wipe off times and 3-4 mins was the sweet spot for me with my conditions, but I can attest to the 10 min wipe off time Gyeon claim. I had 1-2 really small high spots maybe an hr after application and they came off easy enough. Also, there was one small section I redid as I wanted that area to be double coated. I tested this out and was able to level it maybe 30-40 mins after! Temp was around 20c and 60% humidity - hotter and more humid than it was with my first coating.
The coating goes on thick and I consciously tried to put it on as thick as it would allow. After a few sections I decided on using a 3rd towel for one final wipe and this worked really well as towels do load up quite a bit.
I didn’t do whole panels at a time but I was able to work the timing so as to leap frog my application. I would apply to half a door for example, load up the applicator and apply the other half then come back and wipe off these two sections.
Car looks glossy, almost like dipped in glass as some have described it.
All in all this experience was much better and the one I wish I’d had from my first coating 2 weeks ago. For anyone on the fence about this coating, I really do recommend it. It has ‘reset’ my experience with coatings I guess you could say. Next I’m trying Gyeon Syncro Evo on our other car.

️It's another wheel from Hyundai I wouldn't change out.
I'll be doing major prep beforehand too, just hope it's overcast that day so I can work straight through. If not, I'll do what I can before the sun is shining where I'm working and then turn my attention to the interior as I've got the Colourlock kit for my suade seat inserts and door panels and Gyeon Leather Shield for the leather trimmed seats, steering wheel and shiftknob.
