This is the video which should be distributed with the Q2View pack! Much better than the printed instructions. Great work on this and other videos on this channel, really useful reference for technique and product amount recommendations. 👍
I applied liberally to all windows and still had half a bottle. left. the coating was wiped to prepped glass on a new vehicle and cis on its 8th month still working wonderfully. I coated another vehicles glass with the remainder so I I would recommend applying 1 layer to 2 vehicles and c double your $ profit so you can repurchase the glass coating kit again and again when you have a customer who would like to purchase the service. you can definately apply more than one coat to a car but it isn't at all mandatory that you do so as a little goes a long way. more importantly is the prep on the glass for the best bond. good luck everyone. thanks for the great video. good luck
Amazing video 😮
Thx! just the tutorial I needed for view, my very first application 2 weeks ago was a disaster. This will help when I'm using it again!

hello Yves !
what is the name of the soundtrack to beginn this video ?
As always, amazing skills and presentation. Thank you. Hope to detail with you on day.
Thanks for watching and the kind words.

Y.
Nice in depth video about the application. Wish I found this before I did mine 😅
Thanks for the feedback. Still a lot to watch, enjoy 😉.
Regards,
Y.
Great vid thanks! 👍
When I get an upload I get very happy.
Hey, great video again Yves! Where did we order the glass rotary pads? Does it’s a Gyeon products?
Here’s to hoping for an Evo version with even better application and performance!
JU ST CAN'T WAIT INTILL I USER THIS PRODUCT ON MY CAR WINDOWS
Nicely put
Thank you.

I found at the Cleanse stage that it always dries to a residue very quickly even in overcast cool conditions, meaning I feel the need to apply more than I perhaps should. I also apply over the top and I'm worried by brushing some of the dried layer away, I'm reducing the effectiveness of the clean/polish stage. Should I be worried about the Cleanse stage drying really fast?
Also, how much force should you need to apply when removing the final Repel layers once it's dried? I've found that I've needed to apply more pressure than I anticipated, both times I've applied this product on my car. First time around, I wasn't able to get as good a result as a professional detailer achieved with the same product, though I expect they applied several layers when I only applied about one and a half, I wanted to keep enough to also do my side windows and mirrors so I was a bit conservative.
For the Repel stage, should some haze be left after you've wiped the excess, or should the glass be wiped until it appears crystal clear with no residue or 'blemishing' at all?
Cheers!
Very handy, purchased Q2 View a few weeks back and waiting to apply it. Just one question, as you are working on what looks like a fairly new car, most people will have used ones: Do you not wash the car and use a glass cleaner before claying? Also, how heavy is the Cleanse compound? As my windshield has some very tiny imperfections and scratches due to stones and everything that hits a windshield in normal life, I consider using a dedicated glass polish like the one from Sonax before using application of Q2 View. Does that make sense or is it unnecessary as Cleanse will already be enough?
The glass surface must be definitely clean of any dirt or oil as mentioned in our previous video in the series.
Deep scratches in glass will not be removed by Q²M Cleanse. If you plan to use dedicated glass polish, do it before Q²M Cleanse 👍🏻
Hi, great tutorial! As i live in the north we have a lot of snow and ice here. Whats your opinion on deicers and non freezing windshield washer fluids, are they safe to use with coating?
Hi, friction and thus scratching is never a good idea. A spray is far safer.
Regards,
Y.
Yves… show us the beading and repelling..!!! 😭
Thanks for the video and clear instructions on how to apply this product. However, due to its quite toxic nature I would strongly recommend wearing gloves when handling this product.
Hey, I just applied the Q2 view like a week ago and I'm really happy with gyeon. I would like to buy something to clean the car. Can I safely use the Bathe plus on an window coated with view?
Yes indeed!
Is the kit enough to coat a 4 door hatch, including the front windshield and window?
Indeed!
Very good instructions, however, the background music is awful and way too loud!
Hi Yves, great videos and product information, thanks. Looking to install, on my own car,but dubious about wiper judder and ghosting, as experienced with similar products. How can I avoid this?!!
Thanks,
Rob.
It depends on many things but what’s really important is to do a good window preparation which includes a machine polish to remove all build up. Degrease thoroughly and wait 15-20 min before you start coating. Make sure you have an even coating application and in most cases it should work out fine.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official Thanks, Rob
After cleaning the wipers do you apply some repel to them?
Does this help stop wiper chatter (jumping of the wipers) if you know what I mean.
Just to be Absolutely clear I have NOT used GYEON View before when I talk about the wiper problem I am referring to past problems with similar products from competitor brands.
Thanks Richard
Once you cleaned the wiper we advised to lay a thin layer of Q² Repel for reducing risk of judder afterwards.
What if I use quickview instead? Apply quickview on wipers as well to avoid wiper chatter?
You can but clean rubber blades and an even application are most important.
Regards,
Y.
Wow, I never would have thought to use tire cleaner on wiper blades.
Both are rubber, so no problem.
Regards,
Y.
So you don’t have to use Gyeon Prep before applying a protectant ?
In this video we are talking about glass. The preparation of the glass is far more important and this is where Q²M Cleanse comes in. Like I mentioned in the video, a spritz of Q²M Prep or water is enough.
When it comes to paint, it’s another story.
Regards,
Y.
With the cleaner we can do all glasses??
Yes definitely!
Hi there. Dry or damp mf cloth suggested for the final wipe down after the coating was applied ?
Dry for the coating! Damp for Cleanse is ok but not for REPEL.
Regards,
Y.
The repel that was applied on the wiper blades doesn’t need a wipe off?
No, it will wear off due to the friction, it’s just a possible aid if you would have experienced wiper judder.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official Great! Thanks for the very quick response 🙌🏻
Hi, I am considering to apply q2 view on my new car. Is there any maintenance product that can boost the coating so that it can last longer?
Check out our channels, we just introduced the new Q²M Glass+ which is exactly what you asked for.
It will be available beginning of next year. Check out your local distributor or reseller for more information.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official Thank you
hey so you only do 1 coat of cleanse and then 2 to 3 coats of the repel, right?
Q²M Cleanse it's goal in the first place is to clean and to prepare, you can repeat your "cleansing" process with the product but it doesn't require layers. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official so just the way you did, one coat of cleanse (to clean and prepare glass) and then 2-3 coats of the repel, correct?
Watched another video on how to apply the gyeon view from another gyeon guy. The way they applied it was verry different. He didnt let it sit for 20 min but imediatly took it of.
When i want to revive my view coating is cleanse than necesary again or only repel?
Hi! I suppose we can just wash the microfiber used to wipe off CLEANSE, but what about the microfiber used to buff of REPEL? Does it go in the trash as with ceramic coatings? Thanks in advance.
No, you can wash it with TowelWash and it will be fine.
Regards,
Y.
Thank you very much for replying!
Hi @gyeon, with QuickView, is it a one-time use product or can I replace the cap over the felt applicator and use it again at a later date? My worry is that the felt applicator will dry out and harden. Thank you for your help.
Nothing to worry about. It will keep working for multiple applications.
Regards,
Y.
A Gyeon representative went to AutoGeek with Mike Phillips and Repel was removed by the rep after 45 seconds! That is a huge difference from letting it set up for 20 minutes and applying a second and third coat on top of one another. Who is doing it correctly?
Hi Evan, maybe the timing was because of demo purposes but 45 seconds is not the way to do it. As we stated in our video’s between 15-20 min and applying a second and third coat is the way to go.
Regards,
Y.
I have applied this myself and In certain light I can see my circular swirls and I am unable to remove them, I did the same application as you did, and was on a cool day inside a garage, performance is world class but not crystal clear, any ideas?
@Yorkiepoocharlie surely this isn't right?
Any updates on this folks? Did the stripes go away eventually?
Should we use the mild or coarse clay bar for glass? Doesn’t mention that specifically in the video.
Thanks
Mild should always be enough. Some contaminants like mineral deposits you will only get off by giving the glass a light polish, this can be done by hand or machine but I always prefer machine, it’s faster and more effective.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official thanks for the prompt reply. Some users mention stripes being visible after application in ideal lighting environments. Is that something you're aware of?
@@GYEON_official a few users mentioned stripes on the glass after using the products . What is your take on that? Thanks
When you apply a coating for not having to use your wipers and you do frequently then wearing will happen due to friction. In some cases the wiper blades are old, in other cases the windshield is worn. I haven’t had these issues!
Proper preparation and common sense are often forgotten.
Regards,
Y.
@@GYEON_official “proper preparation and common sense are often forgotten “ that is gold.
Thanks for your prompt response. Just placed the order and will follow strictly the instructions in this video to apply the product.
Test with water....
We are pretty sure there is enough video showing that on CZcams 👍🏻

5:09 I think you mean "liberal" and not "liberate"
Something I’m always mixing. Sorry 🙈. I will try to avoid these stupid mistakes in the future.
Merry Christmas!

Hmmm... well i love Gyeon Products, i still question the second layer... waste of product in my opinion...
Sadly you are wrong in this judgement. The product has been designed to build up on the windscreen and 2 layers are a minimum. I'd say, 3 would be absolutely best. Initial performance between 1 and 3 layers won't be much different, but a 1 layer installation will have a pretty rapid drop in performance (5-8kkm), where properly installed 3 layers can endure as much as 40kkm ans still remain fully functional...
Regards, Jeremy.
Why the heck would you QUESTION a manufacturer of a product telling you the exact way you need to prepare and apply the product. Who would know better how to apply the product than the person who actually invented it! GYEON isn't the only company who says multiple layers are needed for glass coatings to work with some sort of durability. Secondly, once the bottle is open, you should use up the product anyway which is exactly what Yves says here. Two layers at least, but three is better for durability. Gyeon makes some of the best products for vehicle detailing on the planet. Everything they make works exactly as it says it does. I give kudo's to Yves because he loves to explain exactly how to PROPERLY use Gyeon products to get the most out of them. That says a lot about a company and their credibility. Some companies just put out product after product, rebrand or rename the same products and put them in a different bottle. GYEON supports and more importantly BACKS UP everything they put out with a guarantee and all the technical support you could ever want.
I did not Attack gyeon....and secondly we all appreciate polite and normal behaviour
Hy. Good videos and usseful Tips but...WHAT A HORRIBLE Músic behind Your work... sorry, it must be my fault...please forgiveme but maybe any other Music more Technical or Ambiental Sould be better.
I am not a musician nor a video editor 😉. It’s noted and thanks for the feedback.
