Can Coat - 6 months

Can Coat is the real deal.

I don't use it myself, but I have recommended it to a few customers at the dealership I work for and they have all said how impressed they are with it.

Mike (The Guz) has been touting it since it came out, and I respect his opinion highly.

See? I don't use coatings, but I do read all the threads. :laughing:
 
It should easily last another 6 months. Periodically throw some Gyeon Cure or Ceramic Detailer on there and it might last even longer depending on your weather/environment. I've not gone past 12 months personally.
 
Are the videos you shot after you washed (and pre-washed), and topped with Ech2o...or before?
 
Good question and I should have specified. Those videos were after a wash with Reset so that is just Can Coat that you're seeing. I added Ech20 after car was dry to boost gloss a bit.

The beading would have been even better had I not washed it so much. I also tried Lift as a pre-soak a few times.
 
I loved it on my bike. I did my bike in CanCoat almost 2 years ago, and put about 40k miles on the bike through all kinds of weather, dirt, dust, bugs, etc.

It did great, and while easy to apply, you have to be ready to move once you put on a surface. No doddling!!!

I recently restored a '99 Honda Shadow sealed it in CanCoat afterward. Topped with ECH2O it turned out amazing.

I recently corrected my Harley again and went with PA's Cosmic V2 Glass Coat with PA's High Gloss as a topper.....the High Gloss can be used at each wash if you wanted, and the reflective quality is pretty remarkable, but I'll be honest, I've used ECH20 to wash, and diluted to detail..... when I buff it out, it leaves a comparable shine on top of the Glass Coat and High Gloss....i'll be curious as to how well the new coating holds up vs. CanCoat....i will surely put it to the test

I'm applying cancoat in a few weeks. Do you guys use 2 coats? I think i will.

You can do that to ensure even coverage. You'll love it. I use it over top of the polish, GYEON Primer, which lays down a base-coat of SiO2 as well. I find it not only helps in application of CC but no doubt helps it all last longer. I use CC on a number of customer vehicles and on my own and it will easily go 12 months+ if taken care of well.

I watched sandro's new video on cancoat and he illustrated a clear difference between 1 coat and 2 coats of cancoat. I'm a 1-layer type guy but that video and the fact you get some much cancoat, i'm going to apply 2 coats. Its also a quick process!

Yeah i have primer, its my favorite polish to work with. Lovely smooth wipeoff! I'll be doing some light cutting with something like labocosmetica leale or 3D one and following up with primer - should just go back to my fav sonax polishes but i like to use up some stuff. I have never used leale yet. Interesting product description. I have sticky paint.

Here's a quote:

#LEALE is an innovative and sophisticated medium abrasive polish. With a water-based and silicon-free formula, it contains synthetic abrasives able to act on all surfaces, including delicate surfaces such as tacky, reflow and extra-soft paints that are every detailer’s nightmare."

Are all abrasives these days synthetic i wonder? I thought sonax mined their abrasives...
 
You guys like Gyeon Primer better than CarPro Essence? I would expect they’d be more similar than different.

About the same. I stay with whichever system I'm applying and don't mix them. YMMV

I couldn't help myself. I just ordered 250ml of Sonax Perfect Finish and 10 TRC 365's, they look great. :) (Thanks Mike, never seen them anywhere before(Canada) until i seen them on Amazon dot ca last night.

In the past i got some heavy scratches out of my blue toyota with PF and the very coarse foam white pad from Griots garage. On my car i can use PF for both cutting and finishing. I'm still using primer to cleanup and laydown that nice smooth finish.

I almost finished my 16oz bottle of 3D One, that's going back on the shelf! Probably for good..cutmax for anything else.
 
Yeah I liked original CC till about the 10 month mark. It was still there and beading past that but just was not CanCoat impressive anymore.

Cosmic V2 is my favorite- I use CS after about every third wash or so instead of HG as my main focus is on protection not gloss
 
I don't think CC will last through this winter based on where it's at now and how frequently I wash. I'll likely being relying on Wet Coat this winter. I was going to put another coat on, but I think I'll wait until next Spring and use CC Evo maybe.

Have any more cancoat left over? Why not do a decon, prep wipe and slap some more cancoat on b4 winter? So you know your good for the winter months, from my understanding wet coat has nothing on cancoat. Unless im wrong?

You're right. It's not a bad idea. I may do that. CC is superior to Wet Coat.

Wet coat has very little lasting power and honestly won't hold a candle to CanCoat in any way. I use it on coated wheels and grills, etc. but that's about it. Use CanCoat prior to winter and you'll be good.

I did exactly this at least once while I was using CanCoat and it worked great. For me it was a matter of timing. I knew I needed to do a full exterior detail of one of my vehicles, but time and weather was not on my side, I simply did what you describe and then pushed the new LSP application to the spring.
