Hi all,

I just applied gyeon mohs evo to
My atlas (finished afternoon on Saturday) gyeon requests 12 hours no water. Fair enough. They also say 2 weeks before a wash. That’s a bit harder to swallow.

Their own recommendation is to apply cure or their ceramic detailer if it’s going to rain in the first 12 hours. That got me wondering, where does a rinseless or waterless wash fall
In the spectrum? Can I get away with a rinseless wash? If so does the type or RW matter? Polymer Vs surfactant vs hybrid.

Is it best to leave it sitting until full cure? It’s under a carport but there is some splash from rain.

Two weeks feels like a long time to let stuff sit on the paint.


I know im overthinking this but curious what others think. My previous coatings wanted about a week iirc
 
Its very common for most people here to overthink many simple detailing processes. Trust and follow the manufacturers recommended instructions. This will always guarantee a higher success rate for intended performance as it was designed. Your paint won't be damaged if you wait 2 weeks. It's not that serious.
 
More than likely the manufacturer / supplier has no idea what they are talking about.
Ive watched my coatings get exposed to rain, sleet and snow almost immediately after application and have encountered 0 problems

I say get out there and wash it and see what happens

Yeah, but you use the super-secret Flash Gordon Signature Series Coating, with force-field protection.

I can neither confirm or deny that space age technology was used in formulating my coatings, but thank you for your interest
