Q²M Bathe+ made history as the world's first pH-neutral shampoo containing SiO₂. Even a brief wash imparts a robust hydrophobic layer, repelling water, dirt, and delaying the need for the next wash. The washing experience is truly enjoyable, featuring the shampoo's exceptional slickness and leaving a glossy finish.
instant hydrophobics
Q²M Bathe+ is entirely safe on all surfaces, including paint, rims, glass, and plastic. It provides instant protection to bare surfaces or enhances the base ceramic coating already applied. Additionally, it can be used over existing natural waxes or sealants, improving their durability and gloss. With its active SiO₂ ingredient, Q²M Bathe+ adds tangible protection that becomes evident with every wash. Unlike many so-called 'wash and wax' shampoos, it leaves your vehicle with increased hydrophobicity and self-cleaning ability, actively maintaining a cleaner appearance for an extended period.
A must in every glove box

There are three ways to use Q²M Bathe+. You can dilute it for use as a regular shampoo with hydrophobic properties, spray it on the car with a foam lance, or simply spread it on wet, clean paintwork with a microfiber wash mitt.
TIP: Always work on cool paint, avoiding direct sunlight. Work in sections and never allow the product to dry.

GYEON Q²M Bathe+ – SiO₂ Coating Shampoo, Canadian Version
GYEON Q²M Bathe+, Canadian version, is a SiO₂ car shampoo that combines cleaning with temporary hydrophobic protection. It leaves a water-repellent surface during the wash, making it useful when you want to refresh beading without adding a separate hand-buffed sealant step.
Use it on compatible coated or uncoated exterior surfaces, including paint, wheels, glass and plastic. The slick formula fits a careful maintenance routine, while its protection-adding action distinguishes it from regular Bathe. Choose the method that suits your wash setup and follow the directions supplied with this Canadian-market version.
Key Benefits
Wash and protect: Combines shampoo cleaning with added water repellency.
Coating maintenance: Can refresh hydrophobic behaviour on an existing protective finish.
Bare-surface protection: Adds a temporary protective effect to compatible uncoated surfaces.
Slick washing: Helps the wash tool glide when used with correct technique.
Multiple methods: Can be used in a bucket, through suitable foam equipment or as a controlled mitt-applied treatment.

How to Use
Work on cool panels in the shade. Pre-wash and rinse away loose dirt.
For bucket washing, dilute according to the Canadian bottle instructions. The current CARZILLA listing gives 15–20 ml in 15 L of water.
Wash one manageable section at a time with clean, suitable wash media and light pressure.
Rinse thoroughly before the product dries. Shorten the working area when conditions dry panels quickly.
For an additional mitt-applied hydrophobic treatment, use a few drops on a suitable mitt only over already clean, wet paint, then rinse thoroughly.
Dry the vehicle with clean drying media and inspect for streaks.
Application Tips and Things to Watch For
Never let Bathe+ dry on the surface. Work in sections rather than covering more of the vehicle than you can rinse promptly. The direct-mitt method is for clean, wet paint; it is not a way to scrub concentrated shampoo through a dirty panel.
Global and regional dilution instructions can differ, so use the label on the Canadian bottle as your final reference. Bathe+ provides temporary surface protection; it is not a substitute for a dedicated ceramic coating or an underbody rustproofing treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Bathe+ different from regular Bathe?
Bathe concentrates on maintenance cleaning. Bathe+ adds SiO₂-based hydrophobic protection during use. Choose Bathe when you want to keep washing and protection steps separate.
Why does it produce less foam than some shampoos?
Foam volume alone does not determine contact-wash performance. Correct dilution, lubrication, clean wash media and technique matter. Do not overdose simply to chase a thicker foam appearance.
Can I use Bathe+ in a foam cannon?
Yes, with a suitable setup. CARZILLA’s application guidance gives approximately 1 part product to 5–10 parts water in the cannon bottle. Follow the Canadian label and equipment guidance, and rinse before drying.
Can it replace a ceramic coating?
No. It provides a temporary hydrophobic layer and maintenance benefits. A dedicated coating involves different preparation, application and curing, with a longer intended service life.
What should I do if it leaves streaks?
Wash and rinse the affected section again using the correct dilution and cool working conditions. Reduce the amount applied or the size of the working area so the product cannot dry before rinsing.
Bathe+ emphasizes slipperiness and water beading, and foam does not determine a shampoo's safety. Consider waterless and rinseless washes, which are often non-foaming but provide excellent slickness.
Mix anywhere between 1:5~1:10 with water. Same for hand held foaming pumps.
We vote slickness because that's how rinseless and waterless wash products work; the slippery solution helps prevent scratching.
While foam technically lifts soil off the surface more effectively, during contact washing, it's important to prioritize slickness.
Always wash in the shade and avoid direct sunlight. Do not allow the product to dry, and it's best to work on half a vehicle at a time.
If you allow the product to dry, it may leave streaks. Simply return and wash the area again or touch up with a quick detailer.
Bathe+ is a godsend when it comes to washing wheels, suspension, and undercarriage. It cleans and protects in one go.
