They're all so similar IMO. I never had any issues with any of them.

In reading reviews of them last week, Gyeon Wetcoat seems to get ever so slightly better reviews than the others but they’re more similar than they are different.

I agree. I will say that Wet Coat worked flawlessly for me. Never had any streaking issues at all. Too soon to tell yet with the hydro2 I'm using.

I plan on applying Cancoat Evo to the entire car in a couple weeks. Can I just apply Cancoat Evo to the wheels as well, or should I buy Gyeon Rim for the wheels?

If it makes a difference, this is an electric car, so there is very little brake dust.

I would just apply Can Coat Evo. Curious what others think though.

Can Coat on wheels with periodic Wet Coat after washes should work well.

Hi everyone - new here - I had a question for people using WetCoat on their wheels:

- At what stage of your detail do you apply the WetCoat?
- If I do a spray and rinse, does this impact the application of a tire dressing at the next step or does it just not bond to the rubber and washes off?

For example, if I want to integrate this step into my routine this is what I would be doing:

- Washing wheels and rims
- Foam entire car
- Full rinse
- Contact wash
- Full rinse
- This is where I would apply WetCoat to the rims
- Rinse wheels
- Dry car
- Apply LSP
- Apply Tire Dressing
- Enjoy

Any thoughts?

^That's how I do it.

Any good spray sealant is going to make wheel maintenance a breeze. Once that foundation is on, it will just take soap to clean the wheels. I have mine coated with TWHS SC. Maintain them with TWHS WW.

Just wanted to follow up with my experience putting Gyeon WetCoat on the wheels using the steps I described above. As I suspected, the WetCoat did impact my ability to apply a dressing to the tires afterwards. See picture below - I washed the car as usual, applied WetCoat to the wheels, rinsed off, went about drying off and waxing the car and then applied Chemical Guys VRP to the tires themselves.

This dressing has worked well for me in the past, leaving a nice dark tire for at least a week or two - very consistent coloration as well. Not this time! You can see where the WetCoat has presumable added some hydrophobicity or protection to the tires themselves creating an uneven application of the tire dressing.

Timeframe was - washed the car in the morning, went for a long drive (Around 700km), and noticed the odd pattern when I arrived at my destination and took a picture.

I'm unsure what I can do to change my process - maybe apply the WetCoat using a microfiber instead, to prevent it from spraying on to the tires themselves? This might be a skip for me for the wheels at least.

I've never had bonding issues with tire dressing after applying these spray-n-rinse products to wheels (currently using Nanoskin Super-Charger). And I'm not even careful when I spray.

You could focus your mist to the inner parts of the wheels and less around the edges. You don't need to DOUSE the wheel or cover every square inch of it. If you are then your spraying too much. Just a couple mists over the face and barrel and rinse.

Or you could apply Wetcoat as you normally would and then go back to the tire with a scrub brush with a spritz of tire cleaner (sprayed on the brush) and do a light agitation of the tire for a quick once or twice around. This would remove the residual.
