The original question

Guz, question. 2019 F150, metallic black in New Hampshire (think nasty winters). Which would you go with, Gyeon Pure or CarPro SIC?


I'm going to knock my personal truck out 2 weeks from now so I want to clear my customer schedule :laughing:

This may be a bit of a cop out but either coating would be a good option. Both from trusted brands. There are a couple difference between the coatings.

Pure Evo will harden up on the applicator and offer more darkening on darker paints.

SiC will offer slickness but it won't harden up on the applicator.

Thanks. Ill pull the trigger on the Pure and post up later

Yeah, SiC is pretty slick but I don't think it's the easiest coating to apply with long flashing time. If slickness is the goal, I think Mohs EVO is easier to apply and yields similar results. If you want that candy look with darkening effect Pure EVO or UK3.0 is probably the way to go.

First go with Gyeon Pure. At first, I wasn't impressed but then I remembered my truck usually has 3D Speed topped with Collonite 845 or 915 so it wasn't a big "jump" but it's candy alright.
2 hours of cleaning/decon.
4 hours of polishing with Menz 3500
1.5 hours of coating time
Looks great. I spend so much time cleaning other peoples cars, now mine can remain decent
