Re: CanCoat Application Problems
UPDATE! Life finaly calmed down enough for me to take a couple minutes this weekend to correct a couple of the most obvious high spots and problem areas from my initial application.
I'm happy to report the touchups were a resounding success and I didn't have any of the problems encountered the first time. I used a thin, low knap MF towel and a couple of spritzes of product into the towel. From there I simple wiped down the area I fixed and then quickly fliped the towel and lightly buffed it out. There were no issues with streaking, flashing etc and it all blended right in with the areas from the initial application.
A word of warning: Clean the threads on the can after removing the spray head and before retuning the metal cap. I apperently didn't do this the first time and it took a set of large pliers to break the cap loose.

Re: CanCoat Application Problems
Last update, but I felt it would be a good idea to give this thread some closure with a whole vehicle application in the event someone finds this thread in the future.
I applied CanCoat to my wife's vehicle yesterday, and using the advice provided it turned out flawless. One quick pick. Rain ruined the chance of a full sun picture.

Re: CanCoat Application Problems
Good work Desertnate, glad it worked out ok !
Jeff, is there a need to throw the MF towels away after applying/buffing off the product ie does it harden on the MF cloth if it is not washed immediately ?

I am not Jeff but it will indeed harden on application towels or applicators. I typically use a microfiber applicator to apply and just toss it. The next time I use CanCoat I will see if I can salvage the applicator.

Re: CanCoat Application Problems
Hi 'not Jeff'
The buff MF cloth washed out OK but the MF cloth used to apply it still stunk of the product after a good soak with microfibre wash.
Just worried that it may crystalise like the MOHS and scratch upon next use.

Re: CanCoat Application Problems
I forgot about a Gyeon Polishwipe towel I used to apply CanCoat once; found it about 2 days later and it was somewhat hardened and 'crispy'.

Re: CanCoat Application Problems
I’ve only been doing one coat and it works great are u guys doing 1 or 2 coats. It seems like it would probably be a good product to use two coats just to make sure u hit every inch. They give u so much it’s such a great gem of a product

This is a good enough reason for me to throw out the cloths. Thanks.

Re: CanCoat Application Problems
To add some perspective, my CanCoat towels do indeed become very crispy and hard the following day, while my Cquartz towels do not at all. I toss all of them anyway, but i found that to be interesting.
