01. Wheels & Tires
02. Pre-Wash
03. Wash & Decontamination
04. Soft Protection
05. Drying
01. Wheels & Tires
Make sure your wheels and brakes are fully cooled down before starting any wash procedure. Pressure wash the wheel and wheel-arches first to remove a maximum of debris.
Spray heavily GYEON Q²M Iron Wheel Cleaner on the entire wheel and let it sit for 3 to 4 min but don’t let it dry.
Brush-on the solution with the brush of your choice. I prefer using a Detail Factory Wheel Cleaning Brush
I also use a Lambskin Wheel Mitt to agitate
the solution in and out the wheel. For the inside wheel barrel, you can use a Detail Factory Wheel Cleaning Brush. Rinse heavily.
Spray GYEON Q²M Tire Cleaner on your tyre & agitate it with a Detail Factory Tire Brush.
Rinse heavily and repeat the process if necessary.
Clean your wheels one by one.
02. Pre-Wash
Make sure your vehicle is fully cooled down before starting any wash procedure.
I recommend the use of GYEON Q²M Bug & Grime
on all surfaces where bug splatter or heavy/oily road films can be found.
If you have access to a foam lance, fill it with GYEON Q²M Foam (dilution of 1:5 to 1:15) and spray heavily on your vehicle from bottom to top.
Let it sit for 3 to 4 minutes to loosen all dirt and debris off your paintwork.
Rinse heavily.
Check if your vehicle is now dirt and debris-free before going to the next step.
03. Wash & Decontamination
Use the 2 bucket method.
Fill both buckets with 10L of water and pour 15ML of GYEON Q²M Bathe in one of them.
Start washing your vehicle from top to bottom in straight line motion. My favorite wash pad is KLiN Softy-Series HD Pad. This has long been my favorite on a ceramic coated vehicle because of how gently it lifts dirt and easily releases it from the fibers. Rinse your mitt after each panel. Do not let the shampoo dry. Rinse heavily.
Every 3 months I recommend a chemical decontamination procedure.
Spray GYEON Q²M Iron on a cool and damp vehicle, let it dwell but do not let it sit to dry.
Rinse heavily.
Inspect & re-apply if necessary.
Continue your wash with either GYEON Q²M Bathe.
Once the car is washed, spray GYEON Q²M Tar on the lower parts of the vehicle.
Let it dwell for 1 to 2 minutes and rinse heavily.
Chemical decontamination will remove deep contamination embedded in your coating and it will help to restore initial hydrophobicity.
04. Soft Protection
To boost hydrophobicity and gloss during your wash routine you can exchange GYEON Q²M Bathe with GYEON Q²M Bathe+, a SiO2 based, hydrophobic shampoo.
For even more performance, use GYEON Q²M WetCoat, which is instant gloss & hydrophobic booster.
Spray 2-3 times per panel and rinse immediately.
GYEON Q²M Ceramic Detailer can be used alternatively for great maintenance.
05. Drying
Use a KLiN Drying Duo Microfiber Drying Towel, dry your vehicle paintwork from top to bottom in a straight motion.
Do not apply pressure while drying on your paintwork.
Use separate dedicated drying towels for your paintwork, wheels & lower parts to dry them safely and effectively. Towels used for rims, should never be used on paint.
Wash all accessories after each use. Use Carbon Collective Restore Microfibre Wash to maintain your towels and wash mitts in perfect conditions.
