GYEON Q2 PURE EVO Ceramic Coating – Ultra Gloss – sio2 Hard – Deep Shine - Single Layer – Outdoor Application – Water Spot Resistant - Extreme Durability (30ml)

This was my first time coating a vehicle. The hardest part was the prep. Applying the coating was as easy as applying a paste wax. The shine is amazing and, if it lasts a couple years I’ll be happy.When this fades I plan to try Mohs nest time. Gyeon makes good stuff. I’ve used Can Coat and Wet Coat in the past. If you are considering coating your car yourself I recommend Pure.

I have tried 10-15 different ceramic coatings from various brands, and have been using Gyeons Syncro for a while now. I bought a blue Chevy Blazer and wanted to try the Pure coating because I have heard good things about it.The end result gave me the best gloss I have seen from a coating by far. Syncro is good, but Pure is better when it comes to gloss. It isn't quite as slick as Syncro, and it doesn't have quite the same water beading behavior, but man it looks good.Ease of application is pretty good. It isn't as easy as Mohs to apply, but it is easier than Skin. Flash time was good, I didn't have to wait around on a panel like I do with Skin. It wiped off easily without any rubbing.Longevity remains to be seen, but I have had it on the blazer for a few months now and it still looks brand new. I expect it to last 2-3 years at least.

Super easy one-layer coating that produces the best gloss I’ve seen from a ceramic coating. Live all the Gyeon products I’ve used and Pure is no exception. Just make sure you follow the instructions and are generous with the application. Just used this on a BMW E90 M3 that took 2 weeks of wet sanding and polishing to get perfect. Made the paint look incredible.

TLDR: Great coating; one star removed for durabilityI 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.

Full disclosure this was the first time I’ve ever used a ceramic coating. I’ve read reviews that this bottle can do multiple cars. I must’ve been extremely heavy handed because I barely got one sedan done. Zero regrets though. It went on so smooth. I let it sit for about 8 to 9 minutes then buffed off. the car looks great!!.

super duper gloss! very easy to buff off and work with no matter how long you wait to flash. I've coated over 10 cats with this Pure Evo line. I've used them all MOHS is great too but the shine from Pure really stands out far better. the great thing with the Pure is the ability to level whenever you want no rush. just apply to a few panels at normal speed then go back to the 1st panel and buff off all panels in the same order. always buff a second time with another color final wipe towel to ensure you get all the coating leveled down. I recently did a new red Ferrari with this and the c owner said everyone who looks at it drools and asks what he did to it. PURE EVO! instructions say put a thick layer but it doesn't v matter just apply enough to have full even coverage. I've done 2 cars with a 30 mil just literally a 6 or 7 droplets on applicator per panel after priming the applicator. this stuff is very hydrophobic and shiny sickness is good but I don't care about sickness. that's what the toppers are for when doing maintenance washes. One of the best consumer coatings I use.. and recommend as a detailer if people ask me. do not hesitate to order also I suggest getting the 50 mil so you can coat the glass and wheels and maybe another car too. good luck.
