90% of paint defects result from improper washing. While employing a two-bucket method, a soft glove, or an efficient pressure washer can partially ensure success, one of the most crucial elements is the slipperiness of the shampoo. This enhances the smooth gliding of the glove over the paint surface. The better the slippery features, the more effectively we can minimize the risk of developing new defects on our vehicle's paint.

GYEON Q²M Bathe – pH-Neutral Car Shampoo
GYEON Q²M Bathe is a concentrated car shampoo for regular hand washing of coated and uncoated vehicles. Its slick formula helps a suitable wash mitt glide across the paint while lifting everyday dirt, making it a useful foundation for a careful maintenance routine.
Bathe focuses on cleaning while respecting existing protection. It is a good choice when you want to wash a ceramic-coated car without making a protection-adding shampoo part of every wash. Use it after pre-washing and rinsing away loose contamination, then finish with a thorough rinse and gentle drying.

How to Use
Work on a cool vehicle in the shade. Pre-wash and rinse to remove as much loose dirt as practical.
Measure Bathe into your wash water at the recommended ratio. For 10 L of water, use approximately 20 ml.
Soak a clean wash mitt or pad in the solution. Wash one section at a time with light, straight passes.
Clean the wash tool frequently in a separate rinse bucket or use fresh wash media. Leave the dirtiest lower areas until last.
Rinse thoroughly before the shampoo dries, then dry with a clean microfibre drying towel or suitable blower.
Application Tips and Things to Watch For
Do not rely on shampoo lubrication to make trapped grit harmless. Clean wash tools, adequate pre-rinsing and light pressure are all important. Keep wheel and tire tools separate from paint-washing media.
Avoid direct sunlight and hot panels. If conditions are drying the solution quickly, reduce your working area and rinse sooner. Adding excessive shampoo is not a substitute for a more thorough pre-wash or a dedicated contamination remover.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bathe suitable for ceramic-coated cars?
Yes. It is a maintenance shampoo designed to clean while respecting the protective layer. For ongoing care, combine it with clean wash tools and prompt removal of contaminants such as bird droppings.
What is the difference between Bathe and Bathe+?
Bathe is focused on regular washing. Bathe+ adds SiO₂-based hydrophobic protection during the wash. Choose Bathe when you want a straightforward cleaning step and prefer to manage protection separately.
Will it remove tar or iron fallout?
Those contaminants often require dedicated chemical treatment. Bathe handles the main wash; tar removal and iron decontamination are separate steps used when inspection shows they are needed.
Does more foam mean a safer wash?
Foam can help you see coverage, but lubrication, clean wash media and correct technique matter more during contact washing. Follow the dilution guidance rather than adding extra product solely to produce more bubbles.
They share similar chemistry, with the key distinction being that Bathe Essence is much more concentrated than Bathe. Both are pH neutral.
15~25ml per wash depending on size of bucket.
Mix anywhere between 1:10~1:20 with water.
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.
