GYEON Starter Guide: Where to Begin With the Q² Ceramic System
GYEON is a premium ceramic-coating brand — its catalogue is led by Q² coatings, polishes and quick detailers, not accessories. Start with the coating system: Q² CanCoat EVO is the beginner wipe-on ceramic (~12 months), Q² Mohs EVO the 9H flagship (up to 36 months), washed with Q²M Bathe+ (pH 6, 1:500) and topped with Q²M CeramicDetailer.

Where to start
- Q²M Bathe+ — an SiO2-boosted maintenance shampoo (pH 6, 1:500) that cleans gently and refreshes beading on a coated car. This is the everyday wash that won't strip your coating.
- Q²M Foam — an alkaline snow foam (pH 11, 1:15) for the touchless first step: soak, dwell and rinse to lift the worst grime before you make contact.
- Q²M Iron Redefined — a pH-neutral (7), ready-to-use iron and brake-fallout remover that turns purple as it dissolves bonded contamination. Neutral pH keeps it coating- and wheel-finish-safe.
- Q² CanCoat EVO — the easiest way into a real ceramic: a wipe-on, buff-off spray coating Gyeon rates at around 12 months. The forgiving entry point when Mohs feels like too much commitment.
- Q² Mohs EVO — the flagship 9H DIY ceramic, rated up to 36 months from one layer (up to 48 from two) with pH 2–11 chemical resistance. Deepest gloss and longest durability, but it needs proper prep and a careful wipe-off.
- Q²M Wetcoat — an acidic (pH 2), ready-to-use spray coating applied to wet paint and rinsed off; the fastest whole-car hydrophobic top-up with no cure time.
- Q² View EVO — a glass water-repellent coating that sheets rain off the windscreen at speed; the glass half of a full Gyeon protection package.
- Q²M CeramicDetailer — a ready-to-use ceramic quick detailer and drying aid that tops up gloss and beading over any Q² coating on wash day.
How to choose
Choose by how much commitment you want. For a first ceramic, Q² CanCoat EVO wipes on in minutes and lasts about a year. For maximum durability and gloss, Q² Mohs EVO is the 9H flagship — but the payoff depends on prep, so decontaminate and panel-wipe (Gyeon's Q²M Prep) before applying, and work one section at a time. For instant hydrophobics with zero cure, Q²M Wetcoat sprays on during the rinse. Whatever coating you run, keep it alive with SiO2-friendly maintenance — wash with Q²M Bathe+ and top with Q²M CeramicDetailer rather than a cleaner-wax that could degrade the coating.
FAQ
What is the best GYEON ceramic coating for beginners?
Q² CanCoat EVO — a wipe-on, buff-off spray ceramic that installs in minutes and lasts around 12 months. Q² Mohs EVO gives deeper gloss and multi-year durability but needs careful prep and a timed wipe-off.
How long does GYEON Mohs EVO last?
Gyeon states up to 36 months from a single layer, and up to 48 months from two, with pH 2–11 chemical resistance. Real-world life depends on paint prep, climate and how you maintain it.
Can I wax over a GYEON ceramic coating?
Maintain it with SiO2-friendly products instead: wash with Q²M Bathe+ and top with Q²M CeramicDetailer. Avoid cleaner-waxes or solvent-heavy products that can shorten a coating's life.
