Pure Evo water spotting

**Mueley** · 08-14-2022, 07:23 AM

So, decided to jump in the gyeon ceramic pool after doing my boat with Marine 31 and having good luck with it.
Bought some Pure Evo for my black Ram. Did all the prep on it since it looked like the dealership washed it with a sack of rocks. Put the coating on and it stayed in the garage for a solid week. Didn't wash it for 14 days. It lusts after water spots. Water beads up good, but it doesn't shed water like it seems like it should. Did I apply this wrong? Wiped on heavy and removed the excess a couple of minutes later. Seemed pretty straight forward.

Pure evo is more of a beader than a sheeter.

Do the water spots come off after a wash?

Spots from rain or spots from your water supply?

The spots are rain water spots.

Are they etched? Or do they come off when washed?

It doesn't seem like it. I can see slight outlines but when I spray a QD as a drying aide, they disappear

I have a 4.5 month application of Pure Evo on my car and haven't seen any water spotting issues to date, strange that you have.

The washing/etching question is a good one.

My car routinely sits out in the rain while I'm at work, and more recently it went under a torture test while sitting at the airport for a week. It was rained on at least 2~3 times while baking in the sun and collecting a ton of industrial fall out from the airport. It was filthy when I picked it up, but there were no water spots.

Pure Evo is a good beading coating, but I find it sheets as good as any coating. When washing the car, water just slips right off and I can get it almost dry with just a flood rinse.

I'm not convinced you can have good sheeting without beading. They're related. A good beading coating, will sheet water fast when flooding the surface.

I haven't had any water spotting issues with Can Coat that wouldn't come off. All spotting is from rain. Sprinklers etc. would be a different story.

They sorta seem to come off with a wash but until I hit it with a drying aid, they're still sorta there. I'm almost wondering if I didn't let it sit long enough before I wiped it.

Been having a hard time getting replies to post.
The spots more or less go away with a wash when I dry them using a drying aide like V07. However, there's a few that are flat out etched that won't go away. Even driving down the road, water doesn't really shed. I tried using Megs hybrid detailer and that actually acted like a ceramic coating more than the Pure.
