Q²M Foam offers the convenience of a home-made touchless wash. It effectively dissolves grime and road dirt, ensuring a gentle wash afterward. Its characteristics make it not only totally safe for your coating but also suitable for uncoated cars and surfaces such as polished alloy rims or exterior trim.
Dilute 1:10 ~ 1:20.
pH Neutral
Despite its pH neutrality, it is highly effective at lifting dirt and removing contaminants. It will not strip waxes, sealants, or harm ceramic coatings. The foam aids in removing the majority of dirt first, ensuring a safer contact wash.
Pre-dilute Q²M Foam with water before use. Depending on your car's level of dirtiness, you may dilute it from 1:5 up to 1:20. Avoid working in direct sunlight, and do not allow the product to dry on the surface. Let it dwell for up to 1 minute and rinse thoroughly with a pressure washer.
Wash Pad
Super soft, plush wash pad – the crucial component that comes into contact with your paint. Ensure you invest in a quality one.
Not only does it produce thick lather, but the solution is also slippery, enhancing the safety of the contact wash stage. It can be easily diluted for use in foaming bottles like iK Foam Pro 2, Marolex Foamers, and garden hose guns.

GYEON Q²M Foam – Concentrated Snow Foam Pre-Wash
GYEON Q²M Foam is a concentrated snow foam for the pre-wash stage. Applied through a suitable foam lance, it clings to the exterior and helps loosen dirt before the vehicle is washed with a mitt and shampoo.
The purpose of pre-washing is to reduce the amount of contamination left for the contact wash to handle. Foam is useful on coated and uncoated vehicles, especially when you want to maintain a corrected finish with careful washing habits. Rinse the loosened dirt away before moving to the next step.
Key Benefits
Pre-wash cleaning: Helps loosen road dirt before physical contact with the paint.
Clinging foam: Provides coverage while the cleaner works on the surface.
Concentrated format: Allows dilution to suit your foam-lance setup and cleaning needs.
Coating-compatible maintenance: Suitable for coated and uncoated vehicles when used correctly.
Supports careful washing: Reduces, rather than replaces, the cleaning work required from the wash mitt.

How to Use
Work on a cool vehicle away from direct sunlight. Check that you can rinse the full working area promptly.
Mix Foam with water in the lance bottle according to the product label and your equipment. The bottle ratio is not the final concentration reaching the paint.
Apply an even layer with the foam lance, working from lower areas upwards where practical.
Allow the foam to dwell while monitoring it. Rinse sooner than the suggested time if any area starts drying.
Pressure-rinse thoroughly to remove loosened dirt.
Continue with a suitable contact wash, final rinse and drying.
Application Tips and Things to Watch For
Never allow snow foam to dry on the vehicle. Wind, sunlight, panel temperature and dilution can all affect dwell time. A thick-looking blanket is not permission to leave the product unattended.
Do not drag a wash mitt through dirty pre-wash foam as a shortcut. Rinse the loosened contamination away first, then use fresh shampoo solution and clean wash media. Follow your pressure washer’s guidance for safe distance and use around vulnerable trim.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Foam replace a hand wash?
It can remove a useful amount of loose and softened dirt, but traffic film may remain. A careful contact wash is usually needed for a thoroughly clean surface before drying or adding protection.
What dilution should I start with?
CARZILLA lists a foam-lance range of 1:5 to 1:15, meaning product to water in the bottle. Use the bottle directions and adjust for your lance’s delivery rather than assuming every setup produces the same output.
Do I need to agitate the foam?
The pre-wash stage is normally allowed to dwell and then rinsed away. Leave the main contact cleaning to the shampoo wash after the dirty foam has been removed.
Is it suitable for ceramic-coated cars?
Yes. Use it as part of a maintenance wash, then follow with an appropriate shampoo. The coating still benefits from clean wash tools, sensible pressure-washing technique and gentle drying.
Foam Cannon: Mix anywhere between 1:10 ~ 1:20
Hand foam pumps: 1:10~1:15
Garden Hose gun: 1:5 ~ 1:10
While it won't cause harm, opting for GYEON Bathe or Bathe Essence would be more cost-effective. The Bathe product prioritizes slipperiness for the contact wash stage.
No, GYEON Foam is pH Neutral and will not strip.
Merely foaming and rinsing will not ensure the vehicle is 100% clean; often, you'll need to follow up with a contact wash to remove traffic film.
You can spray GYEON Traffic Film Remover first then foam on top to help with cleaning.
