Two important facts to mention:
1) Q2 Rim can only be used for 6 months after opening the bottle, so ideally you would want to plan ahead and coat multiple wheel sets
2) Q2 Rim needs time to fully cure so should not be mounted directly on the car and driven right after application. Fully cured after around a week. Can be accelerated with infrared heating or a layer of Q2M Cure to protect base coat.
Thanks Yves, very complete vidéo about "how to" with wheels👍
Nice video, like the battery led light.
Oh damn, I got happy I thought it was a modified RS. Sick video as always can't wait for the next one.
Many more to come, glad you like them...
‘V-Project UK’ does a good Gyeon RIM video! Worth a watch 👍🏽
Wow ❤️
Aanbrengen op mat zwarte velg(bbs ci-r) is zeer makkelijk en geeft idd een diepere kleur.
Met een flacon van 30ml heb ik ze twee lagen gegeven en had nog een halve flacon over.
Volgende set velgen(concaver cvr 1-brushed bronze) had ik net te weinig, jammer dat er geen flacons van 50ml verkrijgbaar zijn.
Excellent video once again!
What about freshly restored/repainted wheels? Is there a good rule of thumb to let the paint cure before any additional work? Before the actual use?
Then in the case of summer, sporadically driven car, is this ceramic coating still the best choice? Or just a regular use of tire and wheel cleaner, including the WetCoat?
Topvideo!!! Ik heb mijn gloss black gepoederlakte oz velgen gecoat!! Topspul. Alleen ik heb ze wel 24 uur uit laten harden ook gelijk de wielbouten spacers en remklauwen gedaan 😁😎😎
Thanks. Glad you liked it!

Yves, have you done a video on how to maintain your coating afterwards? Anything specific after each wash? Or do you simply recoat them a year later when the protection wears down?
Please have a look here:

Recaoting can be done but all depends on the type of coating you have on your car, your maintenance routine and your mileage.
Decontamination is very important, that’s why we made this video.

@@GYEON_official Will do, thanks!
I recently coated some bicolor wheels with metal/black paint styling. Unfortunately got some rainbow smears on a few black paint spots. But all of them appeared very late, I made sure residue is all buffed off but the coating probably took so long to cure that I didn’t realize some product residue still re-appeared after an hour or so.
Is there an indication for how long/often you should inspect and buff off the wheels after applying the coating?
One really important thing to do is use enough quality microfibres. Do a final wipe down with a SUEDE microfibre. If you don’t have proper lighting, check outside. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Hi! What to do if you want to get rid of the scratches first? And more specific on powdercoated wheels?
Depends the type of wheel. In most cases, refurbishing your wheels will be the fastest and best solution before coating.

Y.
How should I prep new glazed wheels?….and which products should I use in addition to Gyeon Prep?
Sorry but I don’t understand the question.
Please be more specific, we tried to explain as much as possible in the video.
Regards,
Y.
How long between layers? Is a second layer a good idea or does it not add much durability?
We advise to wait a minimum of 4H between layer for maximum durability.
What’s the curing period of Gyeon Rim?
How would you remove a wheel coating? Is it like a ceramic coating for paint where you use polish to remove it?
Yes, you will need an abrasive to fully remove.
I have a lot of car enthusiast friends who refurbish their wheels and are asking; Is it a good idea and how long after refurbishing wheels is good for a wheel coating?
All depends on what finish. I presume a clearcoated one. Then all depends on how well the flashing times and baking times are respected. This is of course more important on the bodywork of the car but the principle is the same.
To be safe wait 3 weeks after the refurbishment and you should have no issues.
Regards,
Y.
Hey. Can microfiber be reused after this process and of course after washing for the same tasks?
The towels used for coating wipe off should not be re-use afterwards on any glossy or delicate surface - you can however use them for some “dirty jobs” such as wheel arches, engine bay or rubber cleaning 👍🏻
@@GYEON_official Thank you very much for the information. I understood everything and I will follow these recommendations. Success in development and prosperity.✌️
can gyeon rim be layered? if it is possible, what is time interval between each layer?
Q² Rim requires just 1 thick layer, although if you wish to extend its durability, the product might be layered. Keep a minimum of 4 hours period between layers.
T.
If coating a brand new wheel, should it be coated before or after the wheel weights are applied?
After would be the most logical and preferable option.

How to you prep matte wheels that were coated already but has worn down or not much coating is left
First a very good decontamination (multiple) with Q²M Iron and Q²M Tar and in this case U would suggest a very thorough cleaning with Q²M Waterspot. After that a final Q²M Prep wipe and you are ready to coat.
Regards,
Y.
Really surprised you haven’t got a wheel holder
We have but they are more a pain to work with then a blessing.
Regards,
Y.
How long should you wait until applying a second coad
After you have finished all the wheels wait for another 1h and start again at the first wheel.

Y.
Can i use gyeon can coat? Gyeon Rim is not in stock and i dont have time to order it and waith?
Yes you can.
Regards,
Y.
Can I use MOHS on rims or stick to Gyeon Rim? MOHS can last longer than Rim? What are the pros and cons of both products on rims?
Q²MOHS and for sure Q² MOHS EVO are amazing on wheels and will perform outstanding but this comes at a different price. Up to you to decide. Q²RIM is a great solution and saves you some money.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official many thanks. Can Gyeon MOHS stand high temp as well like Gyeon Rim
It can.
Regards,
Y.
Can the coating be put on metal wheels (no paint)?
Yes it can. Durabilty can be less because it will depend on the type of metal structure but it will work for sure.
Y.
Kan ik RIM gebruiken op mat bronze velgen ?
Ja dat kan. Het zal het kleur wel iets meer diepte geven.
Regards,
Y.
How would you prepare a freshly refinished set? Let them degas? Clay? No clay?
Why would you clay a freshly painted set of wheels?
Depending the paint process degassing is always good although on powdercoated wheels it’s not an issue. Again many variables are possible.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official I don't know, I'm asking. You might want to remove contaminants from other processes in the paint shop. Or overspray, I don't know.
The wheels will not be powder coated. They will be finished with a 2K (bicomponent epoxy) top coat.
I would let them gas out and then do a proper degreasing stage before applying Q² RIM.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official Thanks! Several weeks, then, right?
Is it better to clay the wheel before applying the coating?
Only when you would have very stubborn iron particles in the corners of your spokes or when you would have a lot of tar deposits on the inside of the barrel that don’t go away with chemical abrasion. If that’s not the case, just a good wash and Q²M Prep afterwards.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official thank you Yves 🙏🏻
Silver weights on a black wheel tho >.>
Nobody's perfect ;)
