24 hours to cure fully. Can be topped after 12 hours but must not get wet.

 

Hi all, I'm planning on doing my yearly protection detail tomorrow. Temps look like it will drop overnight to just above freezing, so I've bought Gyeon Cure as a topper for Cancoat, as the car will be left outside overnight.

My question is: How Long after applying Cancoat should wait before I apply Cure?

I'd like to put it on as soon as possible, due to the amount of pollen that will be sitting on the paint if I leave it too long

Would probably give yourself a better result waiting until overnight temps increase... I wouldn't dream of applying durable protection where temps are below dew point in the evening, unless of course you had applied first thing in the morning and it was in the sun all day.

Topping with Cure would for me be an absolute last resort.. masks the initial performance of Cancoat for a number of weeks.

 

Thanks all. I’ll do my prep tomorrow and wait to apply Cancoat on Sunday morning after another quick rinse. Temps are not dropping as far on Sunday night

 

Does cancoat not come with instructions that tell you to wipe off with Cure after application (after 1hour or so)? Certainly does with with Pure and Syncro.

 

Nope, nothing about using Cure at all. Maybe it's different with the new EVO version? I think I wasted my money buying it, as I bought it purely as a sacrificial layer for Cancoat in the 1st 24hs!

 

The wait time is 1 hour.

 

For Cure? Or a 2nd layer of Cancoat?

 

Cure over cancoat ruin cancoat waterbeading characteristic and not come back. Use cancoat ant thats it.

 

Agree.

 

Not necessarily true. Gyeon recommends adding Cure if the vehicle will be outside to protect the coating from moisture. Also Cure does not last that long.

 

In their new instructions Mike they recommend to top their coatings if applying outside with Cure or the Ceramic Detailer. I'm thinking of getting the light pure kit and their Ceramic Detailer instead of using Cure. What are your thoughts on using the latter instead of Cure?

 

You must to test products real life to get real feedback. I test many times Gyeon cure, gyeon ceramic detailer over cancoat and they ruin cancoat hydrophobic power. But its my tests summary, maybe someone get different results.

 

Yeah i'm sure it will mask the superior water behavior of Pure EVO but it's because i will be applying it outside.

I assume cure is more like carpro's reload which is rather flat.

I was talking to sandro of car craft auto detailing last year on facebook and he recommended i cut reload 50/50 with water to protect the coating. He also said ideally you want to want 12+ hours before adding a topper but where i live most every night you will get dew.

 

From Theo from Gyeon in another thread:

This was for original CC and looks like he says wait 12 hours.
