Re: Review: Gyeon CanCoat
Thanks for the review. This is a product I've looked at a few different times but never pulled the trigger. If you give it your seal of approval it must be very good.
Re: Review: Gyeon CanCoat
Thanks for the review.
Based on how much you used for the truck, how far do you think a single car will go?
I keep hearing so many good things about CanCoat, but I have a hard time with the price being so much higher than Sonax PNS. I see them as competitors in the high quality, aerosol applied, wipe-on-wipe-off, category. Maybe I'm just too frugal...or as my wife says, "cheap".

First, BP1 thanks for the review and taking the time to post it.
DN, you beat me to it, I was thinking the same thing. The price of 340 ml of PNS before any sales is $29.99 / .1249 per ml. GC 200ml. $49.99 / .2499 per ml. that's twice as much per ml or 50% more. Is it twice as good as PNS?
That would make PNS cost $84.96 per can!!!

I know both products are listed as providing protection lasting up to 6 months, but I thought CanCoat was supposed to be more substantial (closer to a coating as opposed to a spray sealant like PNS). But I would like to hear thoughts from those who have used both in terms of durability, self-cleaning abilities, etc. to see if CanCoat really outperforms PNS by a substantial margin.

Haha...thanks for the vote of confidence but it's strictly amateur hour over here. The main thing that stands out with the CanCoat is just how easy it is to use given the final results. If it has anywhere near the 6 month claim of longevity, it's a winner. In fact, 'less than full fledged coating' in some cases may be a positive aspect to the product. If your 'semi-permanent' coated car gets marred by a shopping cart, it's a much more involved process to polish off the coating/defect and re-coat, especially if you use a coating that darkens the paint. If you used CanCoat, and still have 1/2 a can left on the shelf and the same thing happens, you could fix that right up in about 15 minutes.

I'd guess you could get 4-6 applications on something like a Chevy Cruze; I think it would go far enough that I bottle would get you thru a year/season applying 2 coats 2-3 times over the course of that time. It just has a 'feel' to it in application that makes it less 'serious' than a coating in application, with short term results equaling the self cleaning and appearance behavior of a coating. Neat stuff...

If someone wants to send it to me for free to test I'll post a review otherwise I'm sticking with PNS for the overall value and ease of application and it does look great too.

Re: Review: Gyeon CanCoat
I can attest to CanCoat and like Budget I would recommend it. It really is a nice product. One gets the benefits of a coating with this one but the ease of use with application. The self cleaning effect it nice which not only makes it easy to wash but also makes the paint stay cleaner. It has aggressive water behavior with crazy water beading and sheeting.
I have not used PNS but I can say that CanCoat can hang with some of the best. I would even venture to say that it's water behavior is close the Sonax CC36 coating I just reviewed which in my opinion has one of the best water behaviors for me personally for a coating.
A little goes a long way. I would actually say one can get 4-6 applications on an average sized vehicle. A little less if one chooses to go with 2 coats but 1 coat is more than enough.
Maintain it with Cure and it's really nice combo. For someone looking to get into coatings but is hesitant, then this would be a good starting point.
One thing i will reiterate is to flush out the sprayer. It hardens pretty fast and will clog up the sprayer.
Here is what CanCoat did to the applicator overnight after I tossed it on my workbench after I was done.

It won't be from me lol. Give it a try. It's price point is not that bad during a sale and it's really no different than applying an aerosol sealant like PNS or Meguiar's Ult. Fast Finish. I got it when it was 25% off from another site with free shipping.

How is PNS (or Can Coat, for those with long term experience) for water spots if you can't get them cleaned off right away?

I've never had any issues with them with PNS and the side of the Altima gets hit with my sprinklers all the time. No water spots that I've ever seen. I easily get 6 months out of PNS on white paint with minimal washes and little to no care as it's my daughters car.
