`Twas Gyeon day on a rare 70 degree day in Cleveland OH.
Why not trot `em all out?
2016 WRX WG Uber Ceramic applied 05/2016. Gyeon Bathe+, Gyeon Wetcoat, Gyeon Cure. When done with that polished the trunk lid with WG TSR, Rupes Keramik Gloss Fine Gel Polish and Rupes Diamond Ultra Fine Gel Polish before using up the leftover Gyeon Mohs from earlier this week. Just kinda curious how it will look over the next few months.
2016 Honda Civic Coupe, Kamikaze Miyabi x2, ISMx1 applied October 2016:
Gyeon Bathe+, Gyeon Wetcoat, Gyeon Cure.
For whatever reason decided to apply Cure by spraying on blue square microfiber applicator...takes a little bit longer but it works best for me.
I was gonna follow all the Gyeon up with Kamikaze Overcoat but that just seemed excessive.
The Gyeon Bathe+ was an interesting but enjoyable wash experience. Like others have mentioned, very low suds but slicker than all get out when using. Used me new Gyeon Smoothie wash mitt as well. Pricey at around $25, but kinda cool too if it holds up. Just kinda on a Gyeon kick these days.
Also checked out Sonax Glass Cleaner. Using some tips from a YT video, I think I may have finally been able to clean some interior glass without needing therapy after the first time I drive it with sun glare.

2 Straight 60+ days in CT
Did a rinseless wash with Uber, Coated with Cquartz in June 2016, noticed some light swirls on horizontal panels
, could`ve missed them polishing when i coated lighting wasn`t ideal..
Winter wheels & tires on now.
Topped the roof and drivers side with c2v3 and the hood and pass side with Sonax BSD. Love the smell of BSD and seems to last a while and bead like crazy.
Before
50/50
Didn`t really get good after shots
A day later already dusty..damn driveway.

getting the guns ready to whoop you know what on this car tomorrow
sorry couldn`t find a way to fit the Mini in there...
gonna test these new pads out too
tomorrow evening this car becomes my problem and I`m very much looking forward to it
I may have to end up settling for a pitch black cat one of these days so I`m gonna have to see how I`d fix a new one

Washed pop`s ride even though there is rain in the forecast. Rinseless washed with McKee`s 37 N-914 followed by CarPro Ech2o QD mix. The car has Gloss Coat as the base layer protection. Been liking ech2o over gloss coat. Really makes the paint pop.
Also playing around with watermarking my photos.
Also tried out OPT metal polish on these chrome exhaust pieces.

Got my GQ Chev. Malibu ready for a 400 mile trip this weekend.
(Mom`s funeral)
Rinseless wash with WG Uber, which was great, but the best was
my drying aid, Rupes P808 sealant mixed 1:1 W/distilled.
Paint was super smooth, P808 went on as a light spritz,
buffed and dried fast, no grab or streaks. Very happy.
400 miles, no dirt stuck. My car gets dirtier
just sitting in the underground garage. Very happy

How does the SONUS MOTOR KOTE hold up in the wheel wells? Only drawback I can see is that it would take a lot of product. The bottle is not that big to begin with. All I use on the motor now. Great product.

not perfect but after trying different pads thats the best I can do for a 1 step
f owning pitch black! lol
what worked as 2 step on my metallic black challenger paint did Not work here on this pitch black challenger so reverted to an old friendly pad as last ditch effort in hopes of a decent result for a 1 step since this paint would not finish right
still some deep marks in there but much better
it`s tough for me to leave them but he didn`t pay for perfect paint and couldnt find a pad that primer would clear up compound haze on this paint with

corrected it for you
primer as a one step is not gonna happen on the hood roof and trunk so I`m still working that out
i can keep the car as long as i need but primer has to be topped within 6 hours so I need to get after it, haha
