Applying Gyeon Q2 CanCoat EVO is straightforward and can be done either inside or outside. Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Clean the Vehicle
Before you start, make sure the vehicle is clean. Use Gyeon Bathe, a high-quality car shampoo, for a thorough wash. Bathe is recommended for regular washes and can help maintain the car's appearance. Rinse the car thoroughly and let it dry naturally.

Step 3: Spray and Wipe
Start by spraying a light coating of Gyeon Q2 CanCoat EVO onto a section of the microfiber applicator. Apply the product in a thin, even layer. Wipe the coated section with a clean, damp microfiber cloth to remove any excess product and ensure a smooth, non-obtrusive application.
Step 4: Repeat Application
Continue the process, applying and wiping in small, overlapping sections until the entire surface is covered. It may be necessary to repeat the application multiple times to achieve the desired level of gloss and coverage.

Once the final application is complete, allow the car to dry naturally. Avoid touching the coated surface for at least 8 hours to ensure optimal curing.
