We do. You never know what could be on the seats surface that could potentially lead to an issue during the application process. Its better to be cautious and do it right!

Sorry to hear this! We definitely do not recommend using LeatherShield on plastic. Please reach out to our customer service at [email protected] to see if they can assist you!

So you should wipe off primer! You should use it like any other polish. But if you want to fully remove it with a degreasing product like Gyeon Prep to coat shortly after you use it, then you can. You are able to apply a traditional sealant over it.

Yes it can. But don't expect the same results as a proper maintenance wash with a decontamination step.

A lot of people only use one bucket safely with EcoWash

You most definitely can!

Thank you! How long to wait after coating is applied?

@@barrycook8116 An hour should be about right

Thank you. Put I am having an Issue with applying the coating. It left lines in the paint after only doing a two by two section. The paint looked blemish and blotchy. I have applied these coatings many times before and never had this issue. Any ideas? I went from waiting a min to wiping off righy after.

Yes it is!

Put a drop of shampoo on it and work it throughout the pad with water. Rinse it out after!

An open ceramic coating bottle should be used within a couple months of opening. Shelf life is more towards a year though.

You should be able to use just a single pad with primer as long as its in good shape initially. Since its not removing a lot of material and should be the light last step. Just keep cleaning it with a brush when necessary!

This should not be used on rubber. We recommend our other product Preserve for that use!

@@gyeonusa I thought this was meant for the interior. But you can also use this on plastic and rubber parts on the outside? What about the piano black trim on the outside bumper?

@@kristofjanssens98 This product is meant to be used on exterior plastics, not interior! Not recommended for use on rubber. You can use it on piano black but we like to use paint coatings on that type of delicate surface like Pure or Cancoat EVO.

@@gyeonusa My answer was a response to your advice to use preserve for the rubber parts, not Trim evo. I thought preserve was for the interior. I knew Trim evo is for the exterior. Can you use preserve on rubber parts on the outside?

You absolutely can!

Yep its an upgrade. Easier to use and more durability are the two main improvements!

Even though its "fake" leather, its still a porous material. So it will absorb a coating that is applied to it. Because it soaks into the leather you typically don't need to remove the excess coating like you do with paint ones. As with all of the non-paint EVO coatings... They are easier to apply and will yield 50% more durability over the previous versions!

The issue you would run into is that the LeatherShield will repel a lot of the dressing. So the surface will not have the results normally found when using the dressing.

@@gyeonusa thanks for the fast reply! That makes sense. Do you think though it would damage the coating if I were to use say Gyeon Leather Coat or a similar product on top of it?

@@gimaru1 It would not damage the coating to do so

Half a bottle left over is quite normal! A second layer wont yield much better results. So the wiping isn't necessary unless you see any sort of uneven coating on the surface. The "do not wipe off" is stated on the website because you aren't removing the coating, you want it to soak into the surface. Where as with paint coatings you actually wipe off the excess coating on the paint during the application process. We are just helping differentiate the two.

@@gyeonusa great to hear, so wiping you don’t think would have had much of a negative affect?

@@brandonleewilks If you let the product sit for a couple minutes before wiping, it will be fine

@@gyeonusa I gave it around 1 minute after coating the entire seat and started from where I began the coating. Worried it should've been longer but I also thought due to the heat and humidity here in Florida it should coat much quicker.

@@brandonleewilks I dont think you will have anything to worry about!

Yes, once the coating is cured, it is then safe to touch without PPE!

Yes, the smell should dissipate over time. What did you use to clean the seats prior to applying the coating?

Yes, great tip!

Yes, we highly recommend using a quality leather cleaner before application that doesn't contain any softeners or conditioners

We do not recommend this product for interior plastics, for that we recommend our product Preserve. Also in order to actually protect piano black, we recommend paint protection film.

​@@gyeonusaHi, thanks! Could you provide me with some product names for interior protection? I would really appreciate it.

@@puxiaotian611 Preserve for protecting plastics. Trim Cleaner for cleaning plastics. LeatherShield EVO for protecting leather. Leather Cleaner Natural for cleaning leather. Fabric Coat for protecting textiles. Fabric Cleaner for cleaning them!

Glad to hear its working.... hahaha

Yep! A light polish will remove it from the surface!

We would not recommend using this as a preparation step for a coating. Its designed to be a maintenance product instead

We are working on them!

I just got that too

Where can I find your rule book?

@@LSD04 either watch Yvan at diy detail or Eddie at EC details on KZfaq to get a great understanding of rinseless.

It's weird you are aware of Yvan and diy detail yet say "you still pressure wash the car before washing". This isn't a prerequisite for anyone during rinseless wash, and it hasn't been recommended at any point in yvan's youtube videos whether he was at opimum or at diy detail. It also isn't preached by anyone who really does rinseless washes, so I'm not sure where this is coming from. I mean, you CAN do it if you want (or need, if dirt is caked on), but it isn't the standard approach. I generally agree with everything else you said, but i don't think using a wash pad is terrible, a sponge is just better.

@@ryeguy01 I personally will always pre treat, pressure wash, then go in with the rinseless procedure. Rinseless is not strong enough by itself to remover bug guts and bird bombs that have been sitting on there for a while.

Dude as soon as I started watching this video, I knew this barf 🤮 comment was going to show up as the first comment 👏 Thanks for making the universe more predictable today.

Rinseless washing does not scratch your paintwork.

@@ryeguy01 yeah…. I’ll stick to what I know!! If this was so good all the detailers would be using it but they don’t! I only use Gyeon products but never even consider this at all to do any of my cars!! 2 bucket method works a treat for me so I’ll stick with what I’m happy with!👍 Got to ask, if it’s so good why are you rinsing the car before hand🤔

@@darrenboston342 You prerinse for the exact same reason you prefoam with a standard wash. If you wouldn't normally prefoam, you wouldn't prerinse either, it isn't a unique need to rinseless. Why don't all detailers do this? Because of the same attitude you're showing here - not willing to try something new, and assuming it won't work. Spend time around autodetailing forums or subreddits, or just look on youtube a bit more -- there are plenty of people using rinseless washes. There are mobile detailers that use this as well. It's not like everyone doing rinseless washing is clueless and accepting paint damage. Rinseless washing isn't new, gyeon is just super late with a product.

@@darrenboston342 rinseless can do everything a soap can but better. If you think of it as a soap that you don’t rinse off then you’d understand how that alone is better than soap technology.

It’s 2024 and we still have people like the op, rinseless is just as safe if not safer. I betcha you’re the back in my day kind of people

Rinseless and waterless was completly different process and good Rinseless wash, no risk of marring. Rinseless wash you can hose the car if very very dirty, it means only no final rinse. You better to Rinseless than soap without drying aid because you can damage with only water on drying process

Think outside your own driveway bubble

Rinseless has been around way too long and is done by way too many people for you to hold this opinion in the current year. Rinseless washing isn't some hot new thing done when you have only a speck of dust on your car or something, it's something you can use as your primary wash method, and honestly probably should/could be if you maintain your car. Which you probably do if you're watching detailing videos. Soap doesn't have an advantage over rinseless. It doesn't have better lubricity, cleaning ability, or anything else compared to rinseless. It just foams (which is fun). Most benefits people attribute to traditional washes are benefits of pressure washing, not soap. It's not like all the people who rinseless wash their cars year round are lazy, unaware, or are ok with scratches.

@@seabrew1 Rinsless encapsulates my laziness and brings it outside... i LOVE it i wont go back to normal washing unless it's a deep clean or decon once or twice a year. Chasing the spills, the drips, the hastiness of product drying on paint, the getting the stuff all out, then back in the garage, then cleaning it after cleaning the car.. my god.

It provides a good amount of lubrication and is safe to use with just a bottle brush. If its something that you are nervous about, it probably wouldn't hurt to foam it too though

I have the 2024 m3 and I applied this to the doors, all seats & center console with no issues

They should be say ReDefined in the name when buying from our website. If you purchase from other sources then we are unsure. Cure can be used on any coated vehicle or even uncoated ones! But do not expect it to fill any sort of scratches, that is not one of its benefits

You technically can but there wont be much point. Once the coating underneath breaks down the Mohs on top will have nothing to hold onto and will diminish rapidly!

Unfortunately since leather is porous there isn't a good way to remove the coating. The only method is time. How long has it been since the last layer was applied?

@@gyeonusa Thanks for the honest reply! I have not yet applied this product, as I am still comparing various products (incl. e.g. Colourlock Top Life) and their pros and cons.

You can use this one matte wheels. Its going to add some depth to the color but it won't add much gloss if any.

Since it is a semi-aniline leather you can use Leather Shield on it with great results. Just make sure to use a quality cleaner beforehand that doesn't have any softeners or conditioners in it!

I would not reuse the applicator blocks! They will harden and damage surfaces that you use them on after

We have a little bit of salt here in Colorado... But they do use a fair amount of magnesium chloride on the streets and in the tunnels around here.
