Yves...really enjoying your series of detailing maintenance tips.
I’m a client of Craig Niven at Staffordshire Car Care here in UK. My new RS4 Avant was ceramic coated in August ‘20.
I’m due to have some secondary work done soon in terms of PPF to some of the piano black trim, B pillars and rear bumper.
Are there any problems with final rinse of PPF using a 0PPM water filter and then drying PPF areas with a warm air blower? I have recently purchased a water filter and a BigBoi Mini Plus.
Thanks.
Hi Nigel, glad to hear you like them. I’m sure Craig will take care of you. Love the RS4 by the way.
For your rinse, no problem at all. Always a good choice. I like to use PPF Maintain as drying aid: most of the time I do what I call a “crevice” blow dry and after that you always have some droplets left on the paint, then I spray PPF maintain on the paint and do a final wipe with a softwipe towel.
PS. Go for PROTECT + on your piano black trim ;)

Y.
I just bought all these! Can’t wait to use it! Question for Gyeon: Will the PPF coating prevent the PPFs self healing properties?
It will not. Just don’t use it on a ppf that is brand new and has hydrophobic properties like Gyeon’s PPF because the film will reject the coating.
Regards,
Y.
Great content ! Will there be an épisode on placing PPF too ?
For that you will need more dedicated training which is possible at GEC. Check out: gyeonquartz.com/course/gyeonppf/
Regards,
Y.
Excellent content!!! If I have a car with a ppf film and coated with Q2 PPF should I still have to use ppf maintain products or regular Q2M maintain products? Thanks in advance 🙋🏻♂️
Yes for sure! PPF needs maintenance as well. Gyeon PPF has selfhealing and hydrophobic properties and to maintain this in a proper way this step is needed. As well as a once in 3 month decontamination wash. It will keep your PPF looking fresh. It’s a fast and easy process that will be very beneficial for the longevity of any PPF.
Regards,
Y.
Is the PPF wash good for non-PPF surfaces as well?
Thank you, once again for fantastic tips 👌
Hi Yves, great info . Can you use ppf wash on the rest of the car when it is protected with Gyeon cancoat or Mohs? Same question for the ppf maintain on top of Cancoat or Mohs ? Grtjs , thanks
I would suggest to use RESTART wash for a already coated car. PPF maintain on top of Cancoat or MOHS will work but regarding your question in the previous post I suggest to go for CURE.
Regards,
Y.
Is it okay to use PPF Renew prior to adding a ceramic coating? Or does the Renew leave behind a coating that will cause problems with bonding? Thanks for the great videos!
You can use Q²M PPF Renew prior coating application, but the use of Q²M Prep will still be necessary before applying any coating.

Sweet video!
Hello, great video for great product :)
I dont know Tar remover are toxic on PPF, i Guess its toxic also on vinyls wrap.
I have to be careful when i use it for tire mark...
I used ppf maintain on all the car (ppf mat, ppf brillant, vinyls brillant, carbon mat unwraped) its ok, it doesn't alter visual aspects.
I expect one day you product a Rinseless wash solution, iam very happy with this method.
Best regards
Every tar remover can cause issues when dwelling to long. Work locally and use it on a microfibre cloth to have more control.
A regular Q²M PPF Wash is the way to go.
Regards,
Y.
Can the PPF wash be used on non-PPF surfaces (ie paint). Some only have PPF on certain areas of the car like the front end of the one in the video. Could one just use PPF wash on the rest of the car during the wash process? Seems like it could knock down some decontamination from the paint that is ceramic coated.
Sure but in that case the new RESTART wash will be a better choice when the rest of the car is coated.
Regards,
Y.
Great video ! I just wanted to know that if ppf maintain and ppf wash suitable for any kind or brand of ppf ? And plus should we use ppf maintain after every wash. Also is ppf maintain recommended for newly ppfed cars and should for every wash ppf wash should bw used or on intervals between which q2m bathe is used ?
Q²M PPF Wash can be used on every wash of any type of PPF.
If you PPF on the car is not coated then the use of Q²M PPF Maintain will be very beneficial to make your PPF slicker and therefore less prone to attracting dirt.
It can be used on new or old PPF.
Regards,
Y.
Surely the 'two bucket' method with grit guard should still be used? Whilst not of course your products, what is your view on using a Carnauba wax to maintain the depth of shine? I am aware that the edges of the PPF must not be allowed to collect residue was, but that issue aside what's your view on going down the wax route?
There are better ways then a 2 bucket method imho but not everybody will have or are willing to buy the gear that is needed. Even with a 2 bucket method there are many mistakes that can be made, 2 buckets are no guarantee for a safe wash.
Regarding wax on PPF: sure, why not just pick the right one and avoid edges. It will be the same amount of work as a Q²CanCoat EVO application which would be my pick, resulting in more durabilty.
Regards,
Y.
Self-healing PPF care question: in another reply you mentioned it was best to NOT use coating on PPF which had hydrophilic properties & was self-healing. Is that just when film is brand new? Or are you saying not to cost that type of film at all? TIA for your time!!!
Exactly, when film is new and has a hydrophobic topcoat like all Gyeon PPF films have, it make no sense to apply Q²PPF EVO.
Of course when you have another brand of PPF on your car, Q²PPF EVO will give you great results. It can be used of course if ylthe hydrophobic layer would diminish over time but then the first thing to do is to decontaminate first and start from there.
Regards,
Y.
what is that pressure washer nozzle you’re using?? it’s awesome!!
Did you ever figure this out!?
Hi Yves, Where does Q²M Wet Coat fit in all of this? I have a New Nissan Rogue with 3M PPF on the full front and the dealer applied a 1 time Paint Sealant to the rest of the car. I plan to apply something (Gyeon PPF Coating) to the PPF they used as it is not coated hydrophobic looking version. But I don't think I can use any applied Topper sprays over the Paint Sealant job on the rest of the car. So thinking Wet Coat product at the end of all the weekly/bi-weekly Maintenance Washes. How is Wet Coat compared to PPF Maintain spray?
Q²M Wetcoat is a hydrophobicity booster that needs to be sprayed on a wet panel and rinsed immediately. It will boost gloss and drying the car will be super easy.
Q²M PPF Maintain is often used as a drying aid or a quick detailer, it will add slickness and gloss but a wipe in, wipe off action is needed, so 2 different products that serve different purposes and needs.
Regards,
Y.
Hi. I just bought huge line up of gyeon products. I have a PPF on my car. I'm just curious don't we need a prewash also in the first stage? If yes which product to use for prewash?
Hi, nice to hear you give our products a good try. For the PPF you can use the Q2M PPF Wash as your prewash or Q2M Foam, both will do great.
Regards,
Y.
i use it in a foam cannon with my pressure washer. foams like mad. I rinse it down after 5 minutes. I then hit it again with the foam cannon one section at a time and wash with a microfiber mitt. rinse again and the paint finish is slick. car is non-PPF.
What's the dilution you use for foam?
Can I combine Gyeon Quick Detailer and PPF Maintain? Before PPF Maintain was introduced, after washing my car I have allways put Gyeon Quick Detailer on the whole car (whole car is wraped with ppf). Should I now after using Quick Detailer use PPF Maintain?
Use PPF maintain, you will have a big hydrophobic benefit!
Regards,
Y.
Just out of curiosity can this be combined with Wet Coat? or are those two completely different animals that should not be mixed? I'm gearing up to coat my car with your PPF Ceramic.
You can use Q²M Wetcoat on PPF or wraps for sure but when you plan to apply Q²PPF EVO on your car then there is no need to use Q²M Wetcoat in the near future. Let the coating do it’s job at least for the first 6 months.
Regards,
Y.
Hi gyeon, if my car just got fully wrapped with PPF today in Stek PPF .
Should i use Gyeon Renew to polish the whole car then coat it with Gyeon PPF Vinyl and coat ? or if the PPF still in new condition then i just need to use Gyeon PPF wash then after finished and dry move on to Gyeon PPF Vinyl and coat?
Hi,
No need to polish a freshly isntalled PPF. A proper wash with Q²M PPF Wash and then you are good to go. It would suggest to go for the new Q² PPF EVO coating. A breeze to install and amazing properties.
Good luck.
Regards,
Y.
Please let us know what nozzle you’re using.
If I put PPf on my frozen black Matt paint can I still use all the products you just used to clean the PPF? Thanks
On matte PPF you can not polish so PPF renew is a no go. Except for that the PPF shampoo and PPF maintain can be used on matte PPF as well.
Regards,
Y.
Maybe somebody can tell me, because I’m wondering, can we polish wrapped car to remove some water spots and swirl marks from bad technique of washing, light scrathes? And after they can it be coated with gyeon ppf evo? Or it’s only designed for ppf
When it’s a glossy wrap then that is possible and it can also be coated with Q²PPF Evo!
Regards,
Y.
Great info!
Thanks!
Hi Yves what’s the dilution ratio if I’m using IK foam sprayer?
6:12 I also wonder that too
Any advice you can offer me? I have a car with PPF and a ceramic coating on top. I use Gyeon Bathe to wash using a mitt, and then I used PPF maintain to finish off once the PPF was dry. I find that the PPF maintain was leaving quite a lot of streaks, which I need to wipe off / buff rather hard with a clean microfibre cloth. Temperature was cold. Is this normal the streaking? Or how can I adapt my technique? Thanks!
Hi, most issues are coming from overuse of product and oversaturated microfibre towels. Try to use a damp microfibre to apply and a fresh new one to wipe off and use a bit less of product. This should do the trick.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official Thanks! Yes I do have a habit of using TOO MUCH product
Good for sales but we make our products to a high standard and when people saying they are more expensive, I tend to say they are wrong. A little goes a long way 😉.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official Very happy to report following your advice got an amazing usage of PPF Maintain. Applied to a damp microfibre cloth, then I rub the cloth together to spread the product, wipe onto panel, leave 10-30 seconds (cold weather no sun), buff with clean microfibre. Great product and thanks for your reply and video tutorials.
Thanks for watching and taking the time for giving valuable and constructive feedback. Glad it worked out for you.

Hi.. im using PPF on my car about a year and coating using gyeon PPF, but the condition is less hydrophobic , sometimes i check have a waterspot on PPF, what the perfect step to get PPF recovery and get highly hydrophobic ? Wash first with ppf wash and then using ppf renew and maintain ?
Ppf and then ceramic coat
Can I use gyeon bathe/ Then Gyeon quick detailer? To maintain??
On PPF I would suggest PPF maintain for that extra touch but your combo is good as well.
Bath works great but for more cleaning power in your washing give PPF wash a go, you will love it.
Regards,
Y.
Regards,
Y.
Can we use gyeon ppf wash before a coating application or just for maintenance?
Yes you can but after a wash and a thorough drying process we recommend a final wipe with Q²M Prep to remove any possible film or other leftover product.
Regards,
Y.
Yves would this procedure be the same for a satin ppf wrap?
Yes, without a doubt.
Regards,
Y.
Hi, which shampoo works the best on a car that has both ppf and ceramic coating on top of it? Bathe, restart wash or ppf wash? Thanks
There is no “best” but in this case I would suggest the use of Bath as your regular shampoo and to use Restart once every three washes. In winter period you can for sure switch more regularly to Restart for that extra bit of cleaning power.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official thank you so much
Goodmorning!!
Hey, where can I buy all the products to keep the ppf of my car in optimal condition?
Please check with your country distributor or reseller. A full list you can find on the Gyeon website: gyeon.co/network/
Regards,
Y.
just got my car fully wrapped of gyeon ppf. how often do i use ppf wash & ppf maintain? thank you
Congrats! You can use both of them at every wash, once every 3 weeks would be the minimum recommended.
Any special process for apply ceramic coat over ppf?
For glossy PPF, it is quite exactly the same as for paint. Though for matte PPF, you'll face the same issue as for matte paint, you have one shot at it.
Regards,
T.
hi i have a question, its been 2 years now i have PPF applied on my car and on top of that i applied 2 layers of Geyon PPF coating, now i feel the hydrophobic properties have immensely diminished thus i want to get my car recoated, so my question is what to do? how do i remove the previous layer on a PPF car and install new layer? Is the procedure same for PPF coated car?
First a thorough decontamination process is required. You could potentially give the PPF a light polish with Q²M PPF Renew to get more stubborn and sometimes invisible contamination off. After that a good round of degreasing with Q²M Prep and you are ready to apply a fresh layer(s) of Q²PPF Evo.
Good luck.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official plus i have applied geyon view on windscreen and and glasses, is the procedure same for glass coatings as well ?
It is.
Regards,
Y.
Hi Yves, do I use PPF wash for wrapped cars as well? And what do you recommend to protect it?
Works great on wrapped cars as well. After your wash, while drying use some PPF Maintain and you will be more then happy.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official I have a wrapped car with front PPF. I will use PPF Wash and want to do a PPF coating. What should I use before and after applying the coating?
Also, what should I use on regular basis after PPF wash having the coating already applied?
Hi, before applying any type of coating you need to prepare your surface thoroughly.
This means for sure a chemical decontamination with Q2M Iron and a proper wash with PPF wash afterwards. Dry the car and wipe down the part that you want to coat with Q2M Prep and you can start coating.
Maintenance afterwards: PPF wash as your shampoo is great and use Q2M PPF maintain as your drying aid. Good luck.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official I see on your website it says to use Q2M Iron AFTER the wash. You say it is before the wash. What should I do?
Also, I have PPF on the car front, but the whole car is Vynil wrapped. Is PPF wash the best soap to use, right?
You CAN do it after the wash but it’s more effective when you do it before the wash.
Q2M PPF wash is great on vinyl and PPF.
Happy 2022!
Regards,
Y.
1st from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷
are these products also applicable for matte ppf?
Yes they are!
Regards,
Y.
How often do I use PPF wash and what is the dilution ratio with a foam canon?
You can use it every wash, no problem. In a foam gun a ratio of 1:5 will be fine.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official great thank you!
For PPF, what is best method of quick bug removal between washings?
Always hard and no “best” possible. I would suggest to have a small sprayer filled with Q2M Bug&Grime with you. Spray on the bugs but you will need to have the possibility to do a rinse, this can be done with sprayer only containing water and use “the hard stream” to get most off. After that a generous amount of Q²M CeramicDetailer for a final wipe with enough lubrification.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official appreciate your reply!
Can I use the ceramic detailer on ppf ?
Yes you can.
Regards,
Y.
Does this product foam well with a foam cannon?
Yes it does.
Regards,
Y.
If I have PPF maintain spray... is there any reason one could still use the WetCoat spray as well? Or is that practically the same product but this PPF maintain is just more designed for PPF?
Im my experience i have both of ppf maintain and wetcoat and i noticed ppf maintain last longer than wetcoat. Im not sure if wetcoat have UV protection but ppf maintain does so this is my best choice for my car fully ppf coated. Btw both products are great.
You can use both but if you have a coated PPF then I would stick to Q²M PPF Maintain.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official Also, what exactly is the difference between PPF Maintain and Ceramic Detailer? Which one offers the most gloss?
Hi @Cooper-gh8zt, Q²M CeramicDetailer will be more glossy but it is focussed on paint. PPF is a plastic and the gloss is already determined by the properties of the quality of the film, that’s why Q²M PPF Maintain is more focused on durability and maintenance especially on PPF.
Regards,
Y.
What other product can I use to give it a pre-wash before I start washing it by hand and what other product can I use to give it an optimal shine?
Would we apply PPF wash by using a foam cannon? And then letting it dwell a bit and then rinse? Should we get refoam the car with Gyeon bathe and then go into washing if the car? I have the PPF maintenance spray which is what I apply after each wash… my PPF has shelf healing capabilities plus it has ceramic properties built in.
Just use Q²M PPF Wash as your regular shampoo. It can be put in a foam gun but you will always need to clean the car afterwards. This can also be done with Q²M PPF Wash. It’s versatile and smooth but as a prewash with a bit more power it would go for Q²M Foam.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official so I would foam the car with Gyeon foam and then foam again with Gyeon PPF wash and then wash the car with a mitt with the PPF wash?
That would be a bit overkill. First Q²M Foam, then washing with Q²M Restart. Keep it simple and effective.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official I can’t use q foam and then wash with PPF wash and then hit it with PPF maintenance spray afterwards?
Yes you can!
Regards,
Y.
Hi Yves, I have my car wrapped in matte. I have been washing my car with Restart Wash. Will PPF Maintain will remain the matte finish look? Or there will be a bit of gloss?
For matte wraps use Cure Matte. No gloss enhancers in the formula.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official Hi Yves, thank you so much for your reply. Got your point but unfortunately, I just bought PPF Maintain from the store few days back. ): Understand that you recommended to use Cure Matte but is it still possible to use PPF Maintain since I have already bought it? Is there any gloss enhancers in PPF Maintain and does PPF Maintain gives hydrophobic properties as well? Thanks in advance! :)
It will boost hydrophobicity, for Matte wraps dilute it 1:1 with demineralised water and you will be fine 😉
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official Hi Yves, thank you for your reply. Noted. Anyway, any gloss enhancers in PPF Maintain? Thanks! :)
Hi Yves, sorry. Just to verify, is there any gloss enhancers for PPF Maintain? Because I have already bought it for my matte wrapped car but afraid if there is gloss enhancer, my matte wrap might have a bit of gloss which I dont want it to. Want to keep it as matte. Appreciate your reply. Thanks.
Hi. Please could you tell me if you do a foam pre wash for my car which is full PPF. Many thank
If the car is dirty, sure. The goal is always to remove or loosen as much dirt as possible before touching the car.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official sorry, what I was asking was do you have a PPF foam pre wash spray ?
Q² Foam will do the job. It works perfect on PPF as well.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official thank you 😊
What’s better cure or ceramic detailer?
Q²M Cure will be the strongest product in terms of durability. But every product has it’s purpose, choose the one that suits your needs.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official thank you for this information, I’ll be definitely using cure if the durability is much stronger….
Can this be used in a foam cannon?
As a shampoo you could, not meant as a PRE WASH.
Regards,
Y.
Can I use PPF wash on a ceramic coated car?
Yes you can, it will not affect your coating at all but Restart Wash is a better option in this case.
Regards,
Y.
nice thx!!
Yes 👍
What is the dillution rate for foam(for 2000 ml water)??
Hi,
Concentration is 1:500
As a shampoo consumption is: 20-30ml/ car

@@GYEON_official Thank you for the reply…Actually I checked this info before..Just to make it clear; 2000ml/500 = 4 ml for 2 liter foam gun.. 4 ml seems quite low compared to 20/30 ml per car.. Am I missing something?
Use 30ml in 500ml final solution.
