How do you like ECH20?

 

[Aero1900]

Had a mixed experience with Adam's Advanced Graphene Ceramic spray coating.

It's petty darn easy to apply and the results are great but I did struggle with knowing how long to let it cure before wiping it off. I ended up leaving some residue on one area of the car. I guess you call it a high spot. Know I've got to buy some polish and try to gently polish it off. I'll let you know fl that goes.

But for the price ($50) and the ease it's definitely a product worth a shot

Before you polish, try applying some more product over the affected areas, sometimes this will level down the high spot.

Same here. I put it on my Mustang at first, it does go on easy and is easy to remove but I did have a couple high spots as well. I was able to do as @DFB5.0 said and reapply in that area and buff back off. As long as you do it farily quickly, like within 12 hours or so it will come right off. If you let it cure for several days, a light polish might be needed...

That said, I have since upgraded to a new product that is even easier to use, I think more durable and not much more expensive. Gyeon CanCoat EVO is amazing...

I used to use it mixed with Reload as a quick detailer and seems to work about the same without the Reload which I used up. Goes on and off easy, seems to increase gloss a just little (maybe in my head) and beads nicely. But I use it because it is so economical to mix your own quick detailer.

No, you got it right, ECH20 is a gloss monster.

Considering Carpro is ceramic focused company, I was surprised to learn ECH20 has carnauba wax in it, which is what gives the slickness.

Same here. I mix with Reload and it works really well.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I let it cure completely. Just didn't notice. I got 90% of the car done perfectly but screwed up 10% (typical for my life)

I'm going to have to polish it off.

The difficult part of the coating is the you have to get the timing right. Too short and it won't properly cure and thus it won't work and too long and you've got a real problem. As I said I got the vast majority of it right but geez.

I'll take a look at that other product, thanks

Try starting with a hand polish since it’s a small area. Take your polishing pad and polish and just go over the area with your hand first. You might be able to get a small area out that way. Then go to the machine if that doesn’t work.

Yeah Gyeon Can Coat EVO is an wipe on and immediately wipe off coating. It flashes in seconds, basically as soon as it hits the paint it is there instantly and you wipe off the carrier solvents iimmediately. And you can wipe over again with a dry cloth within a few hours if need be. Was the easiest coating I have ever applied and the beads are insane. The picture I posted earlier is of my Mazda CX5 with the Can Coat applied...

And after every other wash or so, I got some Gyeon ceramic detailer to top it off with...

The Adam’s Graphene Coating in the glass bottle sweats when it’s ready to be wiped. I’m not sure if the spray coating does the same thing?
