    Should Stay with Can Coat Evo or try something else?

    All good points. Blackfire SiO2 was my stepping off the 845 train point and worked quite well. No doubt Can Coat better. Going to try my favorite brand and see if they have come up with something special...like 845 was forever! Their was nothing like Collinite 845 Insulator wax on the...

    Should Stay with Can Coat Evo or try something else?

    There is no perfection. There is a diffeence between doing the traditional annual detailing v the crowd here of multi coated 1,2,3 days preps, corrections , ....bla bla bla. I used 845 for years because it got the job done better than any product out there. I have converted because these...

    Should Stay with Can Coat Evo or try something else?

    Just bought the Bead Coat. IMHO, Collinite 845 was the gold standard of durability for 25-30years. He even recanted his opening statements a bit. When you make top shelf, its hard to reach higher. They took their time developing their product. More than a year durability to me doesn't mean...

    Should Stay with Can Coat Evo or try something else?

    A little background. 1. I was slow to convert because I was a Collinite Insulator Wax guy for 20+ yrs 2. Tried Blackfire SiO2 spray first. No complaints. Pretty damn easy . Spring and fall was great esp on a winter vehicle that needed spring correction. It was competitive with the 845. 3...

    First go - ceramic coating, experienced detailer

    Surprised no one made this suggestion to Danube. You and I both come from a similar detailing background. Collinite 845 fans. The art of that material was LESS is MORE!!! I made note in another thread my slow climb into the SiO2 world. 1. Blackfire SiO2 2. Griots 3 in 1. 3. now Gyeon Can Coat...

    Stepping up in SiO2 world

    Thanks for the cander folks. Looks like I will try some Mohs in the near future as I love slick finish and they all look amazing. What is the shelf life on these products once opened? Not what one feels, but experiences with a product past its prime from experience. My Blackfire siO2 spray is...

    Stepping up in SiO2 world

Won't bother again except to use up on the track car. 1 qt of that stuff lasts forvever...............my...

    BLACKFIRE SiO2 Spray Sealant review by Mike Phillips

    You have made me a believer...in the just detailed beauty! Great stuff and my go to for my track cars. I would call my experience with Gyeon Can Coat Evo a definitive upgrade though. That stuff is awesome and ridiculously easy. I did do the spring correction on all the Blackfire cars last...

    Stepping up in SiO2 world

    Understood, I have visited the Gyeon website. Any major advantages in the Gyeon line ? Example of scenarios. 1. My 4C is a gem, but sees track duty and with all its PPF, I see little advantage to going crazy when I'm not treating paint. Currently Can Coat 2. My Quad is pretty damn cherry...

    Stepping up in SiO2 world

    Ok, this long time Collinite 845 user entered with 21st century over the past 2 years. I started with Blackfire SiO2 spray....love the stuff and so easy. Gives me that winter/summer biannual level of protection I have always wanted. New England winters require spring correction and a fresh...

    Griots 3-1 Cermaic wax

    No, and now having used both Gyeon Can Coat Evo and the Griots ceramic 3 in 1, there is no comparison. The Gyeon is a VASTLY superior product with the same effort required to apply. I did a have water spotting issue with it one time but that came off with the following wash. I had washed car...

    Detailing Spray?

    Yea,Speed Shine Ceramic has my attention to try. If its the same concept as Best in Show, that is my go to favorite Griots product but I feel it is obsolete for the Ceramic world

    Best Quck Detailer like Griots Best of Show more approprjate for Can Coat Evo

    I loved quick detailers to remove dust etc. GRIOTS Best of Show has been a long time favorite. Great shine and oh so slick. Never streaks like some other overpriced products. But over Ceramic I have learned this is actually a downer. Favorite Quick detailer with slick lubricity options...

    Question re Prep and Application of Cancoat Outside

    Gyeon prep is EFFORTLESS. Takes 5-20 minutes at most.

    Griots 3-1 Cermaic wax

    Just wipe it down with Isopropyl to remove grease , lubricants, surfactants etc. Takes 5 minutes and as I learned, even with the sprays, it is a mandatory step after any type of correction, or in your case, a new car. Gyeon prep for example. Griots 3in 1 will become my new Griots Best in show...

    Protecting my new vinyl wrap

    Its called bad timing. Lincoln gets its right after years of rebadging and the sedan market implodes. Classic Lincoln. A shame. But take it easy dude. That's why you wrapped it. Think of itas a condom on your Lincoln. Last I checked, Condoms are disposable..........
