Dissolves soil and coating-safe.
Q²M Bug&Grime can be used as a strong and effective pre-spray during the initial steps of a thorough wash. Simply leave it on the surface and then rinse it off. It's also a fantastic aid during a more intensive cleaning process and will remove old and heavily settled dirt when agitated with a gentle brush.
Clay bar
Follow it up with a clay bar session for a spotless finish. GYEON's chemical resistant clay can be used with Iron, Tar and Bug removers.
Q²M Bug&Grime is a strong, ready-to-use product developed to dissolve insects, bugs, and road grime stains quickly and safely. A single application and rinsing with an effective pressure washer will remove most visible contamination, even old and resistant stains. Despite its strength, Q²M Bug&Grime is safe for all types of paintwork, ceramic coatings and PPF.
TIP: Use only on cold paint, never in direct sunlight, or on a warm car. Do not let the product dry.
GYEON Q²M Bug & Grime is a ready-to-use pre-wash cleaner for insect residue and stubborn road grime. Use it on affected areas before the main wash to soften contamination that can otherwise tempt you to scrub harder with a wash mitt.
It is a useful addition after highway driving, summer evening trips and journeys that leave the front of the vehicle covered in insects. The formula works on suitable paintwork and ceramic-coated surfaces, helping remove contamination before the contact wash. Follow it with a thorough rinse and normal shampoo wash for a complete clean.
Pre-wash cleaning: Reduces the contamination left for the wash mitt to handle.
Ready-to-use convenience: Apply directly without preparing a dilution.
Useful for road grime: Adds cleaning power where ordinary shampoo needs assistance.
Coating-compatible use: Suitable for maintained ceramic-coated vehicles when used as directed.

How to Use
Park in the shade and let the affected panels cool.
Spray a moderate amount onto insect residue and dirty areas. Treat only sections you can monitor and rinse promptly.
Allow a brief dwell to soften the contamination, following the product label. Keep the cleaner from drying.
Rinse thoroughly with a pressure washer and plenty of water.
Inspect the area and repeat locally if needed. Continue with a gentle contact wash, rinse and dry.
Application Tips and Things to Watch For
Do not use on hot paint or in direct sunlight, and never let it dry on paintwork or trim. Repeated heavy use can affect the water-repellent behaviour of protection, so use the amount and frequency the contamination requires.
Insect residue and the marks it leaves are different problems. Once contamination has etched the clear coat, stronger cleaning will not reverse that damage. After the surface is clean, assess persistent marks before attempting correction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it on a ceramic-coated car?
Yes, when applied and rinsed as directed. Keep applications targeted and avoid unnecessarily long dwell times. The coating still needs regular washing and prompt removal of organic contamination.
Will it remove old, dried-on insects?
It is designed to soften insect residue, including stubborn deposits. Results depend on how long the residue has been present and whether it has already damaged the finish. Repeat gentle cleaning rather than scrubbing dry material.
Do I need to dilute it?
This product is supplied ready to use. Follow the instructions on your bottle and apply only enough to cover the contaminated area.
Can this replace snow foam or shampoo?
Think of it as a targeted pre-wash treatment. Snow foam can cover general pre-washing, while shampoo and a suitable mitt complete the contact wash. The products address different parts of the cleaning process.
Bug & Grime can be used on delicate finishes such as PPF, wraps, rubber and textured plastics without causing harm. It can be sprayed on the entire vehicle, including wheels and wheel wells, before snow foam for a deep pre-soak clean.
It likely won't take it off right away, but be mindful that any chemicals will affect waxes and sealants in some way. But Bug & Grime is safe on coating.
No, use GYEON Tar (solvent-based) for that.
It helps, but most of the time, you'll need to do a contact wash or use GYEON Traffic Film Remover.
