So the kit comes with 8 felt-microfiber 4x4 squares; I ended up using 5. I have about 1/4 bottle of the mohs left over after giving the car two coats about two hours apart from each other. I still have to wipe on this Skin stuff I guess tomorrow or 12-24 hours after the last coat of mohs. It is suppose to make it shiny(er) and lord knows what else. Here is some pics after the initial two coats. Not sure this was worth the extra money over something like Blackfire or Four Star.

Out in natural light will really be the judge. Sadly it started raining just now.

It’ll be worth it if, you don’t have to polish it again for a couple years.

Tips if you try Gyeon for yourself. Get a good inspection light and use it before moving on to the next panel. You want to look for dark spots or any missed sealant. Take your time, the stuff isnt going to flash cure on the suede applicator. I did the roof, hatch and partial hood then flipped the suede pad over to a clean side. You dont want the sealant to harden on the suede pad and then scratch your paint. It worked out well doing half the roof, wipe off and then the other half. Hood I broke into 3 sections. Fenders all in one shot and doors had to break down into two sections as it flashed too fast to do the whole door.

#4 right at the moment. I have a layer of Skin® to apply. It is suppose to be the glossy slick layer. The MOHS is not very slick by itself. A towel doesnt catch on the surface but its not sliding off the hood on its own either. I was suppose to apply this after a min of 4 hours but they said I could wait overnight.
I would wait until a nice warm sunny day to do this. It got real humid and started raining when I was almost done and it seemed to affect the working time of the MOHS. It got shorter the more humid it got, just an observation.

Then the real test of bringing it out into the light and see what it actually looks like. Probably a bunch of spots I missed that need to be compounded off and start again

#2.
Ive had a chance to wash it a few times and try out all the products. Washing is dead easy. Process is prewash foam with foam cannon and let dwell 5 minutes and rinse. Wash with mitt and buckets and then spritz a little Wet Coat on as I rinse off with pressure washer. I then use only the hose to flood the panels and the water sheets off very nicely leaving only a couple drops of water.

Sounds like too much work for just washing a car.
