quartz Cloth Q2 Pure EVO Ceramic Coating – Ultra Gloss – sio2 Hard – Deep Shine - Single Layer – Outdoor Application – Water Spot Resistant - Extreme Durability (50ml)

After reviewing many similar products, I settled on GYEON Pure EVO Ceramic Coating. Obviously, it takes some work. That's a given with a ceramic coating. After one year, I have found it well worth the effort (less effort than some others) as it remains effective in repelling water, dirt, bugs, bird droppings, etc. It is very easy to remove anything that "dirties" my car. I had my car repainted (white) and applied GYEON Pure soon after. I also use the ceramic detailer to keep the slickness fresh as well as using it on my windows (works great). As for ease of application, this product seems more forgiving than others. I'm happy with my choice.

Great shine and goes on easy.

TLDR: Great coating; one star removed for durability I applied a single layer of Pure Evo on my new car in July 2023 and here I am in August 2024 to provide the following review. Small background: I have been detailing my various family cars for nearly 25 years. I am not a professional detailer but I can easily do most detailing-related activities without issues. Pure Evo is my first experience with a more recent ceramic coating *but* I have used Optimum Opti-Coat (non-Pro) numerous times over the past decade. This car is daily-driven and parked in a parking garage during the day and under a car port at night. Prep: The car was brand-new and the paint was visually in perfect condition. Regardless, I washed, clayed, polished with Menzerna PO85RD, and did a final wipedown with Gyeon Prep (pink bottle). IMO, the surface was as ready as it will ever be. Application: I used the supplied microfiber applicator - It worked but it's very small. I prefer/recommend going with a small foam block wrapped with a microsuede square if possible. Applying the coating was very easy as it spreads well and evenly. There's no need to "work" it into the paint. I simply wiped it on via cross-hatched pattern. For my small car, I used ~20mL of product. Removal: Gyeon touts 30 seconds up to 10 minutes to remove the applied layer. That's a very forgiving timeframe. In my hot Texas weather (even in the shade), I applied the coating to one section at a time (door, fender, hood, roof, trunk, etc) and then would go back to previous section to remove. Overall, removal was fairly easy. There was a little bit of stickiness but nothing worrisome. I used one towel for initial levelling/removal and then another towel for a final wipedown. Do not be stingy with towels. I used 8 towels overall for removal. One interesting note is that post-removal slickness is very low. The surface is not sticky by any means but there's minimal glide when you run your finger/towel across. Personally, slickness is somewhat overrated so it did not bother me. Looks: The initial after-removal appearance was nice but nothing special. This is not surprising at all. Most products need some curing time for appearance to ramp up and bonding to settle in. A week later, I was extremely happy with how it turned out. The coating visually adds that hard candy, highly reflective, look to the paint as if there is a super thick layer of clear coat on top of the color. Looks are subjective but if this is what you are going for then Pure Evo delivers. Durability/Maintenance: Water hydrophobicity was excellent and consistent for about 10 months. Water beads flying off the paint leaving a clean surface. I wash monthly with a ph-neutral soap, use a blower to dry, followed by a wipedown with Gyeon Ceramic Detailer. Every 2-3 months, I would spray/rinse with Gyeon Wet Coat. However, I have noticed over the past 2 months that several sections (hood, roof, trunk, bottom panels) have transitioned to quick-sheeting. I decon'ed/de-clogged with an alkaline soap followed by an acidic soap. Hydrophobicity increased slightly but those impacted panels are still quick-sheeting. Gyeon advertises up to 36 months durability for garage queens. I think I will have appreciable durability and protection for 18 months but I believe 24 months is just a little too far. Overall: I have to take a star away due to durability. I understand that 18 months is a long time and my expectations might be too high but technology is moving forward pretty quickly. There are spray on/wipe-off products that last nearly a full year (often times more). If you wash your car monthly or even every few months then these alternatives may be all you need (easier to apply and much cheaper overall). Very reputable competitors have coatings at/near the same price point but with significantly higher durability claims - Whether or not it reaches those claims is a different story though. Next-step for me and other random musings: I purchased Gyeon CanCoat Evo and will apply to the car sometime in the fall when the weather cools down (and as part of a thorough winterizing routine). Ironically, CanCoat falls into that spray-on/wipe-off category that could be a valid alternative to its Pure Evo brother. I still have ~30mL of Pure Evo left. I vacuum-packed via a Foodsaver appliance and stuck it in the door of my fridge. It still looks just like the day I bought it with zero crystallization. I will apply that to my wife's SUV daily driver in the fall.

Fantastic product. Easy to apply the gloss it gives its amazing! make sure you do paint correction or enhancement first.

Preface, I have been professionally detailing cars on and off for 15 years. When ceramic coatings first came out I was not very impressed with the overall results. Applying them was downright frustrating depending on the brand and claimed longevity. It was at that point where I went back to traditional sealants and paste waxes. Fast forward years later a fellow detailer recommended I explore the Gyeon line. Well I am so glad I did! Now all the hype of ceramic coating is understandable. At least with Evo Pure Q2 the application is a breeze you have up to 10 minutes of working time before it flashes. I fought with “high spots” with other coating I could not work fast enough. Last thing after doing 10 hours of paint correction do I want to struggle with the last step. Leaves a brilliant shine maybe not quite the warmth of wax. Washing is much easier especially maintaining with Gyeon’s ceramic detail spray. I know this was a long review but truly I believe in this product! Hope this helps.
