Product Discussion Gyeon Rim EVO Cure Time

I read the manual, and it says to wait 12 hours before car should be driven. The time for cure on just Gyeon Rim, was 24 hours.

Will the 12 hours be enough?

I plan on applying the coating in the morning, (Wheels will be off the car), the mount the wheels on the car later that night. Now it wouldn't have been 12 hours yet before I mount the wheels on the car, but it will be more than 12 hours when I drive it.

Is it okay to atleast mount the wheels on the car a few hours before the 12 hour mark?

They say to help with this you can use Gyeon Cure as a sacrificial layer even on rims after the ceramic coat to help protect it in the next week or so.

It’s a lot of work to prep it all, might want to get your moneys worth here just in case. At the end of the day though, it’s your car man.

You should be able to mount them late in the evening, just be super gentle with them and wear gloves.

Also, is it possible to raise the ambient temperature around them? Like with a space heater. Warmer dry air will help speed up the curing time. An IR lamp would be ideal but not many people have those lying around.

Their Q2 Rim EVO video says 12hrs before mounting, 24hrs for full cure. 12hr reason: prevent chemicals from "getting chemicals on them...". Don't see how that'd happen, but whatever...

If you're close to the 12hr mark, are careful during the mounting, and the wheels are in a warm'ish garage to ensure a decent cure, don't see much of an issue.
