Hello all!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I sealed my Explorer in March with PA Master sealant and it looked great at first, but after a couple washes ( I was my car every sunday), the beading and sheeting abilities started to diminish. I topped it with High Gloss after the third wash and it brought the gloss right back, but the beading and sheeting remained the same.

Fast forward to last week, after reading a lot about Gyeon Cure as a drying aid, I decided to give it a shot. It was the Explorers turn to get washed again today and I noticed the water didnt bead or sheet at all. After the wash, nothing improved.To make sure the car was protected I sprayed it with Wet Coat and used Cure as a drying aid which brought back the beading and sheeting. Did I do something wrong? Does Cure and Master Sealant not play well, or did the Master Sealant reach the end of its life already?

Cure is going to be diluted when used as a drying aid, so I suspect this played a role in in not seeing the strong performance from it. Wet Coat on the other hand is designed to interact with water which makes sense as to why the beading returned. Also no need to use Wet Coat and Cure together. Pick one or the other.

The main reason why I used Cure after Wet Coat is because the pollen is still high here in NC and I want to reduce the chances of me scratching the paint after I blow dry it. Should I choose another something else to assist in the drying aide?

CarPro Ech20 works great with coatings. I use it at 1:20 on my coated vehicles.

For simple post-wash maintenance and water spot removal do you prefer Cure or Ech20? I've heard Cure diluted 1:1 works well for this purpose and also heard rave reviews of Ech20, but never a comparison.

I use Ech2o a majority of the time as a drying aid if I am drying with the McKee's turbo dryer. It does not affect the water behavior that much. I don't have issues with water spotting so I can't comment on that. The only time I use cure at 1:1 is when I use it to maintain the CanCoat on my mom's car. I am also experimenting on half of my dad's car that has Syncro on it. But most of the time it is Ech20.
