Great Video!
I've ordered a "can" of Evo and Prep from Autogeek's 20% sale.
For preparation , do you see any issue using BF One Step, let it sit overnight. Day two hit it with Prep then apply Evo.

Thanks,
I've been using AOI's as a polish for years now, I'll order up some Gyeon Primer. This is my first venture into the coating world. My neighbor has a bright red, chrome wheeled, Ram that is perfect to "practice" on.
My vehicles are always show ready. I venture into my neighbor's driveways for candidates to keep my game on, I've never been rejected!

Zip Lock or similar sealing bag?
John- If you are ordering some you’ll see what I mean, it doesn’t look like the twist cap hermetically seals very well, my question is the actual product itself, does it crystallize and go bad like an open container of Cquartz? Or does it hold up well with standard packaging like reload?
I’ll vacu-seal my “can”…..

So just strictly out of curiosity, how does Cancoat compare to Meguiars hybrid ceramic coat they have? I was flipping through the Ytube and saw Apex did videos on the Megs about a month ago and also Cancoat new/old versions. He liked both products.
I figure Cancoat pulls away from Megs, and really, the Megs is sort of a non issue in Canada as Meguiars Canada doesn't even have the coating up here that I know of.
I was more just wondering how they stack up as I assume they would roughly compete against each other??

Gyeon primer is a pleasure to work with IME. Easy and smooth wipeoff. Blackfire 1 step i would assume is similar.
Jeff of Gyeon wrote an article a while back and he said you only need to use 2 small drops on a 5 inch pad and that's all i ever use.

An AIO will affect the ability of a coating to bond. Gyeon Primer is also optional. People confuse it as an AIO because it leaves a layer of silica behind. But it is not. It is a finishing polish just like Essence and the Dr. Beasley's surface primers.
Any finishing polish will do followed by a panel wipe.

If your in Canada i’d look into Tacs System Moonlight. I’ve got a bottle going on 3 years thats still good.
Note: alot who have tried it report same as cancoat 1-1.5 years.

do you have to put cure on top of cancoat?

I would put something on after first application. After that it is up to you if you wanna top it. I personally would.
Not only do i feel it lengthens life of coating but it definitely increases the looks.

Do you have to use gyeon prep if you don’t polish? how about usingCARPRO reload after can coat instead of cure?
I let my Cancoat application sit completely dry in a garage for 24 hours after I applied it. Then I applied car pro elixir, which is a dilution of reload. It looks great, so I’m sure Reload (or any other si02 spray) would be fine. However I don’t think it was absolutely necessary to apply anything over the cancoat.

did this today on a yukon denali. It was a first time for me using can coat (evo).
Ive watched your video when ya first put it up. But realistically how much product should one go thru on a single application? It was used with autofibers coating saver 1.5x3 inch applicator.
I ask because id say i used a 1/4 of the bottle. And i would only spritz the applicator once and then apply to a section. When it looked and felt as though there was no more product being spead on the surface i would do another spritz. I dont feel i used to much. Then again gyeon made me think i did because they state you could get 10-15 applications outta one bottle.
