Silica spray showdown: McKee`s v. Gyeon v. CarPro

I have no personal experience using Cure on top of the silica coatings. As you know, it is designed to extend the life of any coating, so in theory I see no reason why it can`t.

But, given the expense of Cure, I would think that`d it`d be cheaper and easier to just apply more of the silica spray.

Yes. My thoughts too. Cheap enough and easy to do when needed.
 
Seems to me that, given the short time and easy effort to apply these, even a month of decent protection is not bad. I never believe the manufacturer marketing BS about "up to 3 months", etc.
 
I`m reviving an old thread but thanks so much Kevincwelch! I was wondering how long these sprays last and if the brand mattered so you gave me the exact answers I was looking for!
 
I’m not Kevin but they all last around a month and are all very similar over the duration of that month. Buy which ever brand you like carpro, Gyeon or mckees. Or whichever is cheapest cause there isn’t much difference except color.

It’s possible one is better with chemical resistance or UV or bird bombs than the others etc but it’s hard to test that by the common man.

I agree completely with Matt. As you can see from the testing, the performance definitely diminishes around a month, and equally. That`s likely because of similar silica content and mechanism of activation.

I just bought a gallon of Hydro Blue, but I could have just as easily bought Wet Coat.

HB was on sale...

Ditto on Kevin`s approach :)

Past sales on here and AG I have enough for my once a month spray down along with McKees soap..
 
Nice test. I would throw The Gloss Shop’s Hydrophobe Express Coating into this mix as well. In my testing compared to the same products, I found it to be just as easy to work with, but was more durable than the others. It also has the distinct competitive advantage of being able to be used in a true rinseless scenario and as a drying aid. So better performing and more versatile.

Hop on over and check out the review when you guys have time.
