Re: Gyeon Water Spot Remover - Mistake or Warning?
From The Gyeon website:
"While use of GYEON WaterSpot can affect the hydrophobic properties of the coating, so a coating of GYEON Boost or GYEON WetCoat may be in order. Avoid leaving GYEON WaterSpot on paint or glass for prolonged periods of time."

If anything, I may have left it on too long - and by that I mean it's possible that I didn't wipe it fully away. The thing is, however, I've used it for spot removal before and never noticed anything as bad as this.

I think my making that statement though, Gyeon is aware that WaterSpot hurts the coating. I feel for you and your car though.

Right. I've hesitated to use water spot removers in the past, and this is a good lesson for me. Damn.
Oh well...

Give it a spray of Quartz Max for protection while you are getting ready to recoat.

Re: Gyeon Water Spot Remover - Mistake or Warning?
I avoid waterspot removers for that very reason, it's not that the products took your coating off. It's that they've ruined the surface tension. I would do a test of washing your car and then rubbing a finger tip to feel any differences between the non beading panels and the other panels. My suggestion, if you want to bring back the beading, is to use a super light clay if it needs it, and then instead of a spray paint cleanser, use a paint cleansing lotion of some sort. Then just re coat it. You'll just be adding on another layer of coating with proper surface tension ontop of your old coating.

I put on a layer of PA High Gloss, rlmccarty2000. That should hold it for while.
WillSports3, I agree with you. It's just hard to imagine that Mohs was taken down by this product, so I guess the surface tension is modified now. I have done the claying already (Nanoskin), and in a week or two I will hit the hood with a few passes of Jescar finishing polish using a white pad with my Rupes. The hood needs no (or only minimal) correction, so it should be fast. It's a good opportunity to test a new coating.
