This depends on several factors. Is the vehicle primarily used in the summer or winter? How frequently is it maintained and topped up with Gyeon Cure or Gyeon Ceramic Detailer? For our Canadian climate, we often recommend applying two layers. While this won't double the coating's longevity, it can still provide a significant boost, around 20% or more, compared to a single-layer application.

Since the vehicle is already clean and prepped, it's a good idea to apply a second layer. While the preparation process may take some time, the application itself is straightforward. Below is the timeframe under monthly maintenance with Gyeon Cure or Gyeon Ceramic Detailer:

• Summer driven only (garage kept): at least 24 months or beyond
• Summer driven with no garage: ~24 months
• Winter driven only (garage kept): 18 to 24 months
• Winter/Daily driven with no garage: ~12 months
• Daily driven (garage kept): ~18 months

In winter, maintenance becomes crucial for its longevity for daily/winter-driven cars. Without regular maintenance or reapplication during the winter months (understandably challenging in -30°C weather), you may notice wear and deterioration on the lower sections due to road salts, chemicals, contaminants, and other factors.

After a thorough decontamination, water beading may return, but it's not uncommon for the lower sections to show signs of wear after winter. This is particularly true given the harshness of our winters, at least here in Canada. The key takeaway is that the coating is designed to wear off first, protecting the paint beneath.

This depends on the ambient temperature, but it is recommended to wipe off within the first 10 to 30 seconds after applying to the entire panel/section. If the room temperature is higher, work section by section. If cooler, proceed panel by panel. You have up to a 5-minute wipe-off window to return and check your work, ensuring you haven't missed any spots.

We typically recommend waiting between 2 to 4 hours between layers, but it's best not to exceed 24 hours. The reason for this is that if you wait too long, you'll be applying the second layer onto a surface that has already hardened and become slick, and the bonding won't be as effective. On the other hand, if you apply the second layer too quickly, the solvents in the second layer can soften the first layer, essentially merging them into one.

Ideally, you want to apply the second layer when the first layer is still in the process of curing, so they can bond cohesively. You want the coating to be both physically layerable and able to bond well at the same time.

With the new EVOs, a 30ml bottle can equate to a 50ml bottle of the previous-gen product. For a mid-sized vehicle, such as a Camry, you can expect to use approximately 15ml per layer. A mid-sized SUV will require around 20ml, and a full-sized truck will typically use between 25 to 30ml. It's important to note that applying two coats does make a noticeable difference.

You can layer One EVO with another layer of One EVO or CanCoat EVO. The general rule of thumb is to apply the most durable product first and the slicker product on top. A popular combination, for the best of both worlds, using One EVO as the first layer (providing the candy gloss finish) and then applying CanCoat EVO on top because it's a slicker product that can efficiently repel dirt.

A general rule of thumb is to avoid water contact for 24 to 48 hours and refrain from using soap for a week. However, after the coating is applied, you can take the vehicle out immediately. Dust, dew, and wind won't have much effect, but it's important to be mindful of bugs, which can impact the finish. If you're a business coating a vehicle for a customer, and it must be exposed to water within the next 12 hours, you can very gently wipe it down with Gyeon Cure or Gyeon Ceramic Detailer. We still recommend against it, but sometimes it's necessary. It's important to understand that drying and curing are distinct processes. While the coating or panel may feel dry to the touch right away, curing involves the molecular locking process, and it requires time to fully cure.

A temperature of at least 10°C is recommended, although you can still attempt the application between 5°C to 10°C if necessary. If the temperature reaches 30°C, then it's on the warmer side, and you will need to retreat into the shade. Ideally, you want the coating to remain on the panel for at least 30 to 60 seconds without flashing right away. If it flashes within that time, it's likely that the panel is too hot.

Absolutely, all the new Gyeon EVO coatings can be applied outdoors; just be mindful of the temperature, as mentioned in the question above.

You can use products like Gyeon WetCoat, Cure, Ceramic Detailer, etc., as frequently as you'd like. The only thing to caution about is using waxes on your coating (Gyeon Wax is fine) because most waxes have strong solvents that may affect the coating.

High spots refer to dried coatings that were not completely buffed off. If you catch the high spots within 30 minutes, you can use the coating itself again to level/soften the high spots. If it's been a few days, then you'll need to mechanically polish it off or use Gyeon Total Remover to remove and reapply coating on the affected area.

Any pH-neutral soap is suitable for use, and Gyeon recommends Bathe and Bathe+. Ideally, avoid using wash and 'wax' products. While you can use them, it's worth noting that a wash and 'wax' product tends to diminish the water-beading properties of your coating. This results in reduced hydrophobicity after washing. After all, who would want that?!

Officially, Gyeon recommends the product to be used within 2 to 3 years when new. If the bottle has been opened, it's best to use up the product in 1 to 2 months to preserve the coating's maximum effectiveness.

The short answer is Yes.

PPF: Since the material is more porous and grabbier, you'll need to wipe off the coating at a faster rate. It's best to use Gyeon PPF Coating.

Trim & Plastics: Yes, though it will not darken and 'restore' like Gyeon Trim does.

Wheels, Chrome & Metal: Yes. You can also consider Gyeon's more cost-effective alternative for wheels, Gyeon Rim (also heat resistant)

Windows: Technically yes, but avoid the front windshield, as certain wiper/washer fluid combos may chatter. Use Gyeon View or QuickView for chatter-free experience.

No problem at all. Coatings contain a significant amount of solvents and exhibit high chemical stability. For more details regarding winter shipping, please refer to our FAQ section on winter shipping.
