What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Is that the same for all the Gyeon Evo coatings?

All the reviews I've watched says yes, this wax WILL impress you! Easy to work with, dispense, remove and like I said the gloss and slickness are awesome! The durability is all over the board, I've seen good and not so good, so take that for what's it's worth

Excellent. Exactly what I need, something else to set my sights on.

I just started messing around with spray coatings and now I'm thinking a normal coating wouldn't be half bad for winter. Now I'm learning there are compatible waxes... I'll be poor before the year's out

Thank you! I downloaded the Photoshop app & uploaded a new pic to my original post. I appreciate it!

No problem, it looks much better. It's a good app, it can make some very fancy and artistic images, but my aim is to make them look like what I'm seeing. If you're in bright sunlight you can also put your sunglasses in front of the phone lens to use it as a polarising filter.

Ha! Still have plenty of BH Touchless. And last winter I never put the pressure washer away. Colorado has no shortage of warm days and sunshine throughout the winter so I'm good with those items.

Do you apply it by hand and how long did it take to cover your car? I’m considering adding it as a sacrificial layer in case we actually have a normal winter in my area.

I would reconsider using gyeon wax on top of an existing coating that is in good shape. A number of people have stated that when topping their coating with gyeon wax, once the wax faded the coating did not return to form no matter what they did.

I got bored watching the Bathurst 1000, I don't seem to be able to just sit and watch 161 laps straight like I used to, actually I've never really done that. So I thought I'd add a sacrificial layer to the Qashqai, I can't even remember what the main protection is anymore, but whatever's on there is working well, yesterday's wash was very easy. Today I added some Meg's Quikwax, more protection from the spring bird bombs, and maybe some more gloss, it's just so easy to apply.

Anyway, go the Chevy's, that doesn't feel right, but I definitely can't cheer on the Fords.

I would clear my schedule and devote the weekend to the race. Devoured every single second of it. This year, I only watched the qualifying session, the top 10 shootout, and the last 10 laps.

Pains me to say it, but I've lost interest, the category is a lost cause now and a complete farse. I almost feel guilty for not bothering to watch it from start to finish like I once did, but the way Ford have been treated this year is a disgrace to the sport and disrespectful to all that have committed to the sport in general.

You can apply by hand or machine. I've been applying it by machine for a more consistent coating, using a hand applicator for intricate areas.

Great post. My experience is the same as Sandro’s. Worst thing I did was apply Q2 wax over a coating and the hydrophobic’s of the coating never coming back. I would say don’t do it.

Do you have a TV in your garage? It's great for times like this, put the race on and work on the car. I can stream YT vids and other car shows to motivate, and educate, me. And sometimes just sit and watch stuff with the dogs.

The parity issue in V8 Supercars does need to be solved, it makes the racing very boring. I heard they were going to make some adjustments before Bathurst, but looked at the practice times and there wasn't much difference. They didn't realise the Chevys were running heavy fuel loads, they claimed to be testing their cars in "race spec" rather than "qualifying spec". They got played.

Interesting. I'm guessing the wax is clogging up the coating and masking the performance of it?

I've never used it as a topper, rather as a standalone.

No TV in the garage for me.

I'm over the bias, endured it for 20 years and can't take it any longer.

I think the content I viewed this weekend is all that I have bothered to watch all year. When the result is a foregone conclusion, why waste a nice day sitting in front of the TV. So, if the biggest and best race of the year doesn't warrant attention, them what does that say about the series in general?

Instead, I had lunch with my sister and then enjoyed some rare time together washing her car.

I'm certainly not refuting what a well respected person in the industry says and shows, same with Guz but I've used Gyeon Q2 Wax several times on my EN since it came out and don't have an issue with hydrophobics at all down the road.

I used it yesterday to give me a little extra as it's getting colder and my Gyeon Pure EVO is now 13 monthes old. I wonder if because how often I wad my car AND the use of Bilt-Hamber Touchless and Auto-foam, not to mention DIY Detail Incredible Suds, and others, keeps the coating clean and opened up

Good to know. I already have Synchro so I’ve got a two layer coating system and it looks like it’s best to hold off on adding anything on top of my perfectly functioning coating.I’ll stick to using my Gyeon ceramic detailer as a drying aid and leave it at that. I’m just a bit addicted to try new things on my car so now it’s time to find another car to experiment on.

I just rewatched that segment. Sandro applied before the coating had cured as a sacrificial layer during the curing stage. He believes that’s the reason for the diminished performance. The videos I’ve seen with q2 on top of a coating have all been after the coating has had plenty of time to cure and everything was fine. That seems to mirror your experience.

Keep using it as a stand alone.

Proceed at your own risk. Leave syncro alone and stick with a spray topper.

You're a well respected member of the detailing community and your experiences hold as much water as anyone else's in the industry, in my opinion. It is well documented on this forum that you are adamant about car care and would never steer anyone in the wrong direction, especially with product recommendations. If you state that you used the product without any issues then I believe you 100%, just as I believe The Guz 100% about having some setbacks. As the old saying goes, your mileage may vary.

That’s the route I’m gonna take.

My girlfriend had an outdoor event yesterday that was pretty rainy. The car came home muddy. So it was a 2 bucket wash today with hyper wash.
