ADVICE ON APPLICATION AND PRECAUTIONS
Before you start applying, wash and degrease the surface with a strong degreasing agent (Q²M Iron is recommended). If additional impurities are visible, use Q²M Clay to remove them. Skin protection recommended. Work in a well-ventilated area. Store in a dark, dry and cool place. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid applying in direct sunlight.
Consider if you've already clayed, ironed, and prepped the wheel; the next steps are fairly easy. It's a simple apply and wipe off process. GYEON Rim reacts and adheres quickly, eliminating the need to let the product sit for 5 minutes before wiping off. Simply work in small sections and casually wipe it off as you go.
All GYEON coatings can be applied outdoors. Ensure stable conditions, never use in direct sunlight and check the weather forecast!
Brake calipers, wheels, chrome, aluminum, powder coat—all okay. While some paint coatings can be applied to wheels, GYEON Rim is formulated to adhere to different types of surfaces with varying surface porosity, ensuring longer-lasting protection in high-wear areas.
