In contrast to other degreasers available on the market, it not only lifts oily substances and residues of paste or old wax but is also highly effective at dissolving them, making their elimination much easier.
Unlike other panel preps that are alcohol-based and evaporate quickly, GYEON Prep can be left on the panel for a minute or two to dissolve old waxes and oils, making it even more effective.
Clean coating adhesion
Q²M Prep is a necessary supplement for preparing a vehicle for coating application. It enables the elimination of any oily residues, creating a smooth and antistatic surface. With strong cleansing and degreasing properties, Q²M Prep makes the preparation of the vehicle for any detailing activities much easier and more efficient.
Can also be used on interior surfaces such as vinyl and leather to prepare for coating.
GYEON Syncro evo
When everything is prepped, clean, and new, this is the best time to preserve all its glory with a ceramic coating.
GYEON Prep is also highly beneficial during the compounding stage. At times, polish oils can fill and conceal light swirl marks, and Prep is designed to remove all the oils, revealing any underlying defects.
Can also assist in the removal of caked-on compounds; this may occur due to applying excessive force or generating too much heat.
Tip: Remember, Prep is not limited to paint and can also be used on interior surfaces in preparation for applying an interior coating.
GYEON Q²M Prep is a dedicated surface preparation spray for the final cleaning stage before a ceramic coating. It dissolves polishing oils, oily contamination and wax residue, helping you start with a surface that is ready for protection.
Paint can look clean after polishing while still carrying residues that interfere with coating application. Prep helps remove those residues and makes it easier to inspect the finish you have actually achieved. Use it after the washing, decontamination and correction stages, with clean microfibre towels and good lighting.
Key Benefits
Removes polishing residue: Helps clear the oils and fillers left by paint correction products.
Supports coating bonding: Provides the clean surface a ceramic coating needs for consistent application.
Improves inspection: Lets you assess the paint without oily residue masking the finish.
Ready to use: Fits directly into a detailing routine without mixing a separate panel-wipe solution.
Antistatic finish: Leaves the prepared surface ready for the next step.

Where Prep Fits in a Coating Installation
Use Prep near the end of surface preparation: wash, remove bonded contamination as needed, correct paint defects if desired, then degrease. For the next stage, read our quick guide to ceramic coatings.
How to Use
Wash and decontaminate the vehicle. Complete any polishing before the final preparation wipe.
Work on a cool, dry surface in good lighting. Set aside clean towels specifically for this step.
Spray Prep onto the surface or a soft microfibre towel, then wipe gently in straight passes.
Use a second clean towel to finish removing residue. Change towel faces frequently and repeat where necessary.
Allow the surface to dry completely. Follow the coating’s specified waiting time before application; current Mohs EVO guidance calls for 15 minutes after Prep.
Application Tips and Things to Watch For
Prep is a preparation product, not a maintenance detailer. Do not use it to add gloss or refresh a protected car. Follow the label for handling and ventilation, and check compatibility before using it on an unfamiliar repair or sensitive finish.
Wiping a dirty panel with Prep is not a substitute for washing. Likewise, it should not be relied on to remove an established ceramic coating. Choose the correct cleaning, correction or coating-removal process for the surface you are working on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Prep after polishing?
A final degreasing step removes polishing oils and helps prepare the surface for coating. Even when the paint looks clear, residue may remain. Use clean towels so you remove the contamination instead of redistributing it.
Can Prep replace an iron remover or clay bar?
No. Those products address bonded contamination. Prep addresses oily residues after the earlier cleaning and correction steps. Each has a different role in preparing paint.
Does Prep leave a protective layer?
No. Its purpose is to clean the surface before protection. Once it has dried and the coating’s waiting time has passed, apply your selected coating according to its instructions.
How much should I buy?
GYEON’s approximate consumption is 150 ml per car, but the vehicle size, amount of polishing residue and number of wiping passes affect usage. A larger bottle is useful when preparing several vehicles or multiple surfaces.
No. APCs, degreasers, or chemicals, in general, commonly leave chemical residues behind. In contrast, Prep will leave no residues behind.
It's not optimal. The reason is that diluted 50/50 IPA can evaporate too quickly to perform meaningful work, whereas Prep can sit on the surface for a longer period without evaporating too quickly. If IPA is incorrectly mixed, it can leave a white haze behind, most noticeable on plastics.
Again, it's not optimal. Washing can still leave mineral deposits and other soap residues behind. We still suggest doing a quick Prep wipe down even after washing. Since you're this far into the rabbit hole, might as well do it properly!
Prep can also be used during the coating-maintenance stage. For example, after a year, if you'd like to top up your coating again, after decontamination and washing, you can wipe it down with Prep before applying another layer of coating.
