Description
GYEON Q²M Clay EVO – Mild or Coarse Detailing Clay Bar
GYEON Q²M Clay EVO is a detailing clay bar for removing bonded contamination that remains after washing. It helps smooth a rough-feeling finish before paint correction or protection, with Mild and Coarse options to match the condition of the vehicle.
Mechanical decontamination should be a considered step, not an automatic part of every wash. Start with a clean surface, use suitable chemical decontamination where needed, then assess what remains. Choosing the least aggressive clay that can complete the job helps limit unnecessary contact with the paint.
Key Benefits
- Removes bonded deposits: Addresses contamination that routine shampoo washing leaves behind.
- Two grades: Choose Mild for lighter contamination or Coarse for heavier work before correction.
- Smoother preparation: Helps establish a cleaner surface for the next detailing stage.
- Kneadable format: Exposes a fresh working face as the clay collects contamination.
- Controlled local treatment: Allows you to work on affected sections rather than repeatedly treating the whole car.

Mild and Coarse: Choosing the Right Grade
Mild is the sensible starting point when you want controlled decontamination on a maintained vehicle. Coarse prioritises removal of more stubborn contamination, such as overspray or industrial deposits, and should be paired with an appropriate inspection and paint-correction plan.
How to Use
- Wash thoroughly and remove relevant iron or tar contamination with the appropriate products, then rinse.
- Select the grade suited to the remaining deposits and test a small area.
- Flatten a manageable piece of clay and apply plenty of compatible clay lubricant to the panel and working face.
- Glide gently over a small area without pressing hard. Keep the surface lubricated throughout.
- Inspect and knead the clay frequently to expose a clean face. Stop when the contamination has been removed.
- Remove lubricant residue, inspect the finish in good lighting and polish if needed before protection.
Application Tips and Things to Watch For
Clay can leave marring, particularly on soft paint or when using a coarse grade. Coarse is best planned as a preparation step before paint correction. Neither grade should be dragged over a dry panel or used to scrub contamination aggressively.
Discard a piece that falls on the ground or becomes contaminated with grit. Use a dedicated clay lubricant unless the exact clay and chemical combination is confirmed compatible; chemical resistance is not permission to use any solvent.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose Mild or Coarse?
Choose Mild for lighter bonded contamination and the gentler starting point. Coarse is intended for heavier deposits and situations where a polishing stage is already planned. Always assess a test section.
Will clay remove scratches?
No. Clay removes contamination sitting on or bonded to the surface. Scratches and swirl marks need an appropriate correction process; claying can also reveal defects previously hidden by deposits.
Can I clay a ceramic-coated car?
Mechanical decontamination may affect the coating or introduce marring. Start with a suitable chemical maintenance process and consult the coating’s care guidance before claying.
How do I know when to stop?
The treated area should feel smoother after cleaning away the lubricant. Repeated passes over an already decontaminated area add unnecessary contact. Inspect the clay and paint frequently rather than relying on a fixed number of passes.
