Re: 2020 Ceramic Coating 1 Year Test
I recorded this on April 29. 2020. At that point it had been 3 months. A majority of the coatings at this point are doing pretty well. What is interesting is that Gyeon Mohs has started to bead better the longer it cured. The 6 month update is right around the corner.

Re: 2020 Ceramic Coating 1 Year Test
Nice video, Im very interested in cancoat vs cquartz lite...
So will keep following these reviews

Re: 2020 Ceramic Coating 1 Year Test
I have a 7 month update on the coatings. There has been a dramatic decrease in hydrophobic behavior on some of the coatings.
These coatings were heavily beat up during the 4th of july. The car sat outside with the illegal fireworks from the neighbor landing all over it. It sat on the car for a couple days before I washed it. This stained many of the coatings, although they were already water spotted.
Goes to show that lab claims are different than real world use.
Here is some text information on the coatings.
SPSGraphene – Has lost its hydrophobic behavior. Starting to sheet slow. I will probably call it done soon.
Gyeon Syncro – Surprisingly this has help up better this go around. It is still beading and sheeting at a good rate. The first time I used it, Skin was about done during this time frame.
CquartzTiO2 – This looks to be a coating application error so this has been rules out.
Adams UV Paint Coating – Has lost its hydrophobic behavior. Starting to sheet slow. I will probably call it done soon.
Jade Ice – Has lost its hydrophobic behavior. Starting to sheet slow. I will probably call it done soon.
Drexler Ceramic(Base Coat + Top Coat)– This is similar to TiO2 in an application error so ruling this one out as a competitor.
Shine Supply Beadlock Pro - This is a nice surprise. Has retained its performance rather well. Sheeting and beading nicely.
Jade Quartz – Started to show signs of losing it's hydrophobic behavior.
Adams Spray UV Coating - Failed within 3 months. Nothing noticeable on the surface at 7 months.
22ple Insanity – Brand new for 2020 and hyped by 22ple as being their best coating. It is surprisingly how poor it has held up. I will probably call it done soon.
22ple HPC - Surprised at how poorly this is also performing. I will probably call it done soon.
Gyeon Mohs –The water behavior got better as it cured. Hanging in there towards the top of the list.
IGL Quartz+ - Has lost its hydrophobic behavior. Starting to sheet slow. I will probably call it done soon.
Cquartz Lite - Has held up nicely up to this point at 7 months.
Gyeon CanCoat - Still hanging in at 7 month. Lost some of its hydrophobic performance.
Cquartz UK 3.0 - Has been haning in there as well. Fast water sheeting. Not the tightest water beading.
Drexler Ceramic Base Coat – Like Beadlock this has been a surprise in its performance.

Re: 2020 Ceramic Coating 1 Year Test
Thanks for the update!! Good to see the big names hanging in there, some of the more “boutique” options leave more to be desired.
Really good to see the performance of CQ lite and Cancoat are meeting/exceeding claims.
Is this a loss for the graphene crowd?

Yeah, would think that CQuartz 3.0 would hold up better than Lite.
Maybe Zymol or Adams will hold up better than SPS.

I may have missed it in there somewhere, but what type of car wash soap are you using? A ceramic or just a regular soap?

Yeah, I’ve actually yet to use any of the longer term semi permanent coatings, sticking mainly to the “lites” Cancoat, Mckees V1 and V2 Coating, Adams Ceramic and Turtle Wax HSSC.
I like that they apply easily, wipe off with minimal effort and offer outstanding performance.
Interested to see how the other graphene options hold up, I bought the Adams Graphene Spray so I can at least see how it stacks up to their other option.

I'm not a coating fan, (as everyone knows). But I have used them. (Thank you, Mike. )
But, I read everything Mike (Guz) posts about them.
If you need info on coatings, Mike is your man.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
