Challenges with Gyeon Cancoat

Nothing makes cleaning easier than a coating…

Yeah it's the reason i'm still trying to get one figured out - coating that is. I will be applying cancoat again this summer.

The self-cleaning properties are evident. Even just sitting in the driveway i could tell it was rather clean after some rain.

I'm back on the cancoat wagon! haha
 
Well, I tossed the Cancoat out and decided to give MOHS EVO a shot. I’ll let you guys know how it goes. :xyxthumbs:
 
I have had my CanCoat in the original bottle for about 14 months, it’s still looks fine, and works fine. However, the top was getting a little crusty and rough to open, so I transferred it to an a hermetically sealed mason type glass jar. The original bottle is pretty cheap, imo, with bad sealing capability. The idea that they give you three sprayers, just illustrates how half baked Their idea is for longevity. After I crust over the sprayers, what then? This stuff is too expensive to waste with crystallization.

To use it, I take a microfiber brick with a medicine dropper, put 3 to 4 drops down the middle, and then apply it to the surface. I can see it go on, and with a quick buff the surface is perfect. It works every time. I use it all over my painted parts of my motorcycles, and my helmets every 6 mo or so. I no longer own a car but the application of CC I put on 9 mo ago looked good when I turned my lease in.

My medicine dropper cleans out every time with isopropyl alcohol. So I have no idea why they can’t recommend you cleaning out the sprayer the same way instead of giving you the three that are going to eventually clog up and become trash. I may be missing something here, but…

Cancoat is not that easy to use IME either but for me it has proven to be stout but nothing extraordinary.

However, if the bottle of liquid fails in 2 years i wouldn't consider buying another one. I have a bottle of essence+ to try next for a stand alone sealant. Should be interesting.

But i agree it's not "easy" to use. It stinks, clogs up sprayers, grabby wipe off and it will leave high spots like any coating. It works but i don't think it's in the "easy" category sorry folks lol

Caveat: This is all relative. In a garage, cancoat would be pretty straight forward. But again easy would not be a word i would use to describe cancoat lol
I have to agree. I love the product but not applying it. Atleast if its to black paint. Cuz then i see streaks and what not. I think ill giver another go though as well.

Just buy some cheap plastic cosmetic sprayers at Walmart for a $1. They work fine for spray products providing the CanCoat isn't too thick.
 
I just use a Autofiber large thin saver and an eye dropper. Doesn’t take me that much longer than a MF towel.

The thick or thin ones? The thin ones will ruin you for any other applicator out there.

Literally the best. Use them for all coatings, sealants tire dressings. Even used it with a Dodo juice wax…

Good to know, ive only used the small thick autofibers. Great for coatings but not for cancoat. Will try out soon with it. My cc evo is now 1 year old and i have half bottle. Nothing floating in it or anything...hopefully its still good

In term of prep, I don’t want to leave anything to chance.

Would you guys please humor me with a list of decontamination products?

I just want to get it right. :D
 
That’s not a simple question to answer… If your surface is clean, and it’s a relatively new car where the surface is smooth, you could just use 50-50 isopropyl alcohol and water for a good wipe down and it would be ready.

If it’s a surface that is older, has some scratches and is fairly well whethered, you will need the polish first And then use something like carpro eraser to prep the surface.

Polishing is always the great universal equalizer, when in doubt, polish it with an orbital first with a fine finishing polish, like meguires 205.
