in this video we will do the 1 year update
Nice having a coffee on a Saturday morning and seeing a nice fresh upload 🤩
Thanks for the long term test you def deserve more subs
I appreciate that!
Can't thank you enough for these videos as a new DIYer, it's hard to cut through all the bs claims made by these product companies without seeing real tests. I'd love to see the "best of the best" test, maybe do one or two more updates on this panel then swap to the new test?
Please keep it going. Now I live in a warm environment but previously I lived in an extremely cold one and in both situations the carpro lite was an unbelievable success. But I have never tried the gyeon and I would like to see how long it last compared to carpro. I recently purchased the fuso but I haven’t installed it yet and that’s more of a relaxing experience on a weekend. Thanks for all the hard work. 👍🏽
Great test, thank you so much for your long and detailed effort.
Personally, because the Fusso Coat is so cheap, I am very happy to apply it once every 3 or 4 months. The gloss when it is within this 3 to 4 month period is very good, and it is ultra hydrophobic, so I will continue to use it.
I guess for me, detailing is an enjoyable hobby, and as I wash my car every week anyway, and use bead maker & dream maker as a topper, it's really no effort for me to use Fusso coat as a base layer.
Great point!
I completely get that and its why I now use toppers for my coated cars as I enjoy adding that extra gloss after every few washes
Keep the test going! Do a Carpro Cquattz UK 3.0 vs Gyeon Pure Evo

Thanks mate if I ever have a little of those 2 left over I'll try and make a video on it
One solution, is buy a second test panel. Keep this on going and start a test on the new panel.
I applied the gyeon to my wife's car at Easter based on this series. Decon, clay, compound and polish by hand, IPA, then the can coat. I am super impressed with the final product. Looks brilliant. I don't own a DA polisher yet so had to do it by hand (never again I'm buying a DA soon). What did really surprise me was the ability for the coating to hide several severe defects in the paint. It would cover deep scratches that were through the clear coat, but there were heaps that the hand polish wouldn't remove but the coating covered them so they weren't that noticeable any more. The carpro looks good. Might try it next. But for $60 AUD from Repco, the gyeon is unbeatable value IMO. Thinking keep can coat for the mags, and will try UK next time.
With the DA polisher. Looking at the shine mate ex610. Seem ok for a first time polisher?
Interesting to hear it fills a bit 👍 I have it but not used it yet.
Bro you can buy and return a polisher lol I do it all the time I put can coat on mines .
Yeah I do have a second panel that I use for the topper tests.
Very interesting to hear of the filling capability and yes the shinemate is a great option and is what I use
Heyyy still going strong! Nice, cheers! I just wanted to add that there are NONE durability tests like this on YT, i actually subed cuz of this test, and i really like Carpro and Gyeon, both amazing brands with different strenghts :)
Thanks so much 🙏
A lot of hard work and time to do these tests- thanks mate. I've also noticed that Meguairs has dropped in price considerably. I think when you first started this it might have been close to $150? It's currently on special in Repco for $75 for anyone interested.
Thanks mate, yeah that's a great price for the meguiars for sure
I used cancoat and fusso on my daily drivers. In the real world environment the main difference was the fusso seemed stickier and attracted dirt and grime in between washes. It also left white marks at the edge of my ppf so overall, I much prefer cancoat and will go back to that. Cancoat also lasted approx twice as long in the real world (12 vs 6 months).
Just ordered a bottle of CanCoat...I liked the Carpro too, and I use many of their products (Perl is an all timer, and I like IronX and Trix), but I feel like in this case, CanCoat is a bit better bargain as you can cover more vehicles with it per dollar, it's a little less goofy to apply, and you can sort of treat it as a long term topper in some use cases. That being said they're both excellent and I had great results with Carpro CQuartz SiC on my old man's car so you really can't go wrong with either brand. I own multiple products from both and have no complaints.
Just this evening finished applying 2 coats of Cancoat and it is as advertised. Wipe on, wipe off. Use just a little at a time (seriously! More isn't better), and split up panels maybe a little smaller than with say, a quick detailer. I split the side doors into two sections, hood into three. Finished 2 coats on a midsize SUV (Mitsubishi Outlander) in a little under 2 hours, and I'm sure if you didn't dog it like I did (I am strictly a weekend warrior and took breaks) I'm sure you could get it on even quicker. Now the waiting game to see what it looks like tomorrow after it has some cure time.
Yes please! Keep the tests going! I'm dying to know how long Carpro really does last. Considering this test is 1 year in and they only advertise for 6-12. I doubt this stuff will lose it's resilience anytime soon
Have been a bit busy lately but might do another update soon
mate this was great to watch value for money is the can coat as you can use it as a top coat as well as a stand alone
Yes agreed it's a very versatile product
Thank you great video personally have no experience with carpro but love fusso from soft99 use it and have it always at hand and gyoen I use regularly both hold their stated longevity even thou I can say I enjoy detailing cars so I reapply twice a year and used some toppers in between as I wash my cars weekly and with some stronger degreasers due to living in Sweden with salt and gravel and a lot of harsh weather.
Good video. New to the channel. Im a gyeon guy all day . Install alot of cancoat. A # of customers that i see regularly are getting 18 months. All love it but some after a month kind of forget about it . Busy lives . The customer has alot more to do with longevity of any product than us detailers . We can only do so much after it leaves us . As far as waxes interested on your take of tw 75th anniversary paste . Im not seeing the 12 month claim . Ofcourse where im at in the states there is like 15 seasons of weather . Maybe a good comparison to fusso . Spray and rince its wetcoat all day .
Really into Gyeon.. CanCoat and Trim seem to be a killer combo.
Yeah they do make some great products
I've loved this series and great results for Carpro and Gyeon😊. I would love a tutorial on ceramic coating an interior, including cloth seats and leather if you'd be able to. I tried separately protective coating my leather/cloth seats and it was a nightmare so might DIY Detail ceramic coat the seats 🤞🤞🤞😊😊😊. Yes please to keeping this going, but whatever you do will be informative and interesting 👍
Thanks so much for the kind words.
I might look at doing an interior coating soon so keep an eye out.
I do just prefer doing regular leather dressings personally though
@@EvolvedDetails I'll really look forward to seeing whatever you choose next, they're such great thoughtful videos ✔️
Excellent review thanks for sharing! Just a question can you tell between ccquartz lite and Gyeon can coat any comments about water spots ?? Please
Thanks
Hi Ross I actually haven't had any issues with water spotting that wasn't just washed off easily.
I don't think either would be much different overall in that aspect
Nice clear detailed explanation of the products. Well done.
Thank you!
Applied Can Coat based on this series. Followed all normal coating prep and even applied it on a cloudy day. Two days after applying, it rained, but the coating seemed to be doing fine. A week later, my neighbors hosed their sprinklers on my car and it needed washed. Used P&S Perl, which is supposed to be safe for coatings and was concerned to find that the coating had minimal hydrophobic properties left. It's a daily driver and sits outside in rain, shine, etc. but I still expected more than two weeks of protection. Applied Wet Coat after this and it too only lasted about two weeks before water wouldn't roll off the panels anymore. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, to be honest.
Did u do a light polish in the prep stage? If you had any left over protection it might be affected big time by it. I really can't imagine why your getting poor results, what is the production date on the Can Coat? Maybe it's super old (like 3-4 years) then maybe it lost it's punch. But still, not opened, even with an old production date it still should perform a looot better. I've had one with a shelf life (after opening) over a 1,5y and still did a whole car and it's working great (car kept outside). Did you topped with anything besides wet coat? Some toppers are not compatible with it, i recommend using only Gyeon brand stuff on it (like Cure, Wetcoat, Ceramic Det), and hope you used Gyeon Prep as the ,,IPA" wipe. Always use panel prep of the company you use the coating.
Perl could be masking the coating?
6 months for me and going VERY strong, I suggest checking your prep/curing time and/or process of applying.
I also applied it like a traditional coating as per Sandros’ advice (CCAD)
Could use a decon wash , or use a water spot remover. coatings get clogged and may need something to help unclog them. That hard water from rain and water sprinklers leave hard water and minerals on the paint. DIY details UA-cam channel has good videos about unclogging coatings. Not saying this is the problem but worth a try (I’ve never used can coat so take my comment with a grain of salt) hope this helps
Did you IPA the panels before application?.
Keep it going
Might go another month or 2 and see where we're at
I would like to see Resist included as I use it as a topper
@Evolved Details, you should do a test between Gyeon CanCoat Evo, Carpro CQ Lite and Gyeon CanCoat Pro Evo
Would be an interesting one for sure. Will see what I can do
Yeah i think irs clear to call it from the 1 year point, carpro and gyeon still going strong but carpro the winner
Thanks mate
great video thanks!
Thanks mate
@@EvolvedDetails quick question, what’s your opinion on:
I wanna coat my gfs and my moms car (they don’t really care about swirls) but since I wash them I want to make my life easier and coat them.
I’m still learning so I don’t polish paint yet but I know everything else about prep, Decontamination and all of that.
What kind of results can I get if I do everything else necessary to prep the paint expect polishing it, what can I expect from the ceramic coat? Will it make it not last as long, will it only like a a couple of months or what’s your experience or thoughts on that.
(Idk if I made myself clear hahaha)
@@zachwen I'd say something like gyeon can coat would be ideal, you'll get great durability from it still as long as you prep the paint well which doesn't need to include polishing but as long as the paint is bare it will still bond and last
@@EvolvedDetails I was actually going to reach for the CarPro lite, I really liked the series you did I found myself wanting to try the Lite, also mainly because here in MX the Gyeon Cancoat goes for $115 dollars for 200ml and the CarPro Lite I can get for $79 for 150ml.
What do you think?
Why would anyone use the meguiars it obviously doesn’t last even if it is easy to apply
I'd say for people who don't have experience with coatings and having to worry about high spots.
As this is so easy to use and could just be reapplied every 4 months so if someone bought it they'd still get a few years of use from it.
And while yes I'd rather spend the extra effort on Carpro I can see why some would like an easier to use product
Some of my thoughts about this would be,
how would they deal with more regular washing,
how would they cope with a high alkaline and or an acidic prewash,
These are used by many to clean traffic film from the car?
Some good questions, I did do a few extra washes but wasn't regularly enough to count so I'd say with weekly washes the results might be different either better or worse.
We don't really use traffic from cleaners here in Australia so generally just ph neutral snow foams but alkaline products would definitely make a difference in the life of these
How many coats did you apply oof the gyeon
I did one coat of all of them
@@EvolvedDetails ok thanks
wow nice...
Thank you! Cheers!
In my opinion, for all practical purposes, this test is over. Besides the hydrophobic performance, I liked the fact that the CarPro deepened the color of the paint. On the other hand, after a year I’m ready for a fresh coat of protection anyway, so ease of application is a player too. In the end, it boils down to user preference. For the purposes of your test, CarPro lasted longer, so that!s a win if that’s what is important to you. Thanks 👍
Yeah I'm the same other than the carpro I'd be ready to reapply the others if it were on my car
