Any experience with this? Looks like a pretty cool product. Would appear to be a pretty nice product for my daily driver, using cure as a booster and maybe echo as a drying aid.

Is thier primer suggested or recomended, or is it ok to polish and the use prep?

thanks.
 
I have some experience with this.

First off prep work. As with any product its best to apply to a washed, deconed, clayed and polished surface. For polish you can use whatever you like. You can use the Gyeon primer but be aware it needs to cure for 12-24h before you apply Cancoat which is a waste of time in my world. If you want to use a primer product then use Carpro essence (3h cure time) or better yet TAC system primer (1h cure), but really any paint cleanser or abrassive polish will do just fine.

Application. Can not be simpler. Spray on the MF towel and wipe on the surface like using a QD, turn the towel to a dry side and remove immediately. Work in the shade. One bad thing IMO is that it does not leave a trace behind (if it does its not very noticible) so without proper lighting you can not tell where you applied it on the surface. Its like layering an invisible layer. You can layer it as much as you want as long as its 1h apart.

Beading & sheeting is awesome!

Durability...havent done a long term test yet but its suppose to last up to 6 months which is enough for a well maintaned car.

Chemical resistance. Ive tested this a bit and sprayed on undiluted APC (around 12 ph), aggitated and rinsed. It had very little effect on the coating.

Problems I noticed. It clogges the sprayer so I suggest you rinse the sprayer after every use and after every layering. Heat up some water (or use APC or paint prep product) and pour it in a cup or a plastic cup and use that to remove product from the sprayer head. This will help but some dry product may still be left behind to clogg the sprayer head.
 
Thanks. Super helpful. Might have to give this a try
 
It's pretty easy to work with. The primer polish is completely optional. It cleans up really easily when washing.

Here are the directions from Autogeek's page.

If you intended to use the primer polish then according to the directions a wipedpwn is needed for anything less that 24 hours. I think you would be fine with a 1 hour wait time before a wipedown.

Directions for use:

Use GYEON Q2 Primer with a waxing or jewelling pad on a dual action or rotary polisher.
If you intend to apply a paint coating directly after using GYEON Q2 Primer, an IPA wipe down will be necessary. However, if you wait 24 hours after using GYEON Q2 Primer, no wipe down is necessary.
