GYEON Q²M Bathe+ (Plus) Car Shampoo with Ceramic Effect 1000ml

Wash and seal in one step – GYEON Q²M Bathe+

What is GYEON Q²M Bathe+? GYEON Q²M Bathe+ is an SiO₂-infused premium car shampoo that refreshes the hydrophobicity of existing coatings during washing – after every wash, water beads off more strongly and the gloss level is intensified.

A car shampoo that refreshes the protective effect of the coating while washing – that's the idea behind GYEON Q²M Bathe+. The Plus version of the proven Q²M Bathe contains SiO₂ ceramic particles that incorporate into the coating surface during the washing process and reactivate the lotus effect. The result: after every wash with Bathe+, water beads off again like on a freshly sealed vehicle – without an additional care step.

• SiO₂ ceramic particles refresh hydrophobicity with every wash. Q²M Bathe+ contains active SiO₂ particles that enhance hydrophobicity when in contact with ceramic coatings and polymer sealants. After every wash, the paint shows a more intense water beading effect – visibly improved lotus effect without extra effort.
• Extends the durability and effectiveness of existing coatings. Every wash with a normal shampoo degrades coatings minimally. Q²M Bathe+ reverses this effect: It enhances the coating effect with every wash, instead of reducing it. Coatings demonstrably last longer when Bathe+ is used as a care shampoo.
• Intensifies the gloss level – visible after every wash. The SiO₂ particles in Q²M Bathe+ not only contribute to the hydrophobicity effect, but also enhance the optical gloss of the paint surface. The paint looks deeper and shinier after washing than with a standard shampoo.

Practical tip from Detailing1: Q²M Bathe+ works best on vehicles with an existing ceramic coating or a polymer sealant. On completely unsealed paint, the SiO₂ effect is less pronounced. For optimal washing results, first pre-treat insects and stubborn dirt with Q²M Bug&Grime, then wash with Bathe+ – and observe the enhanced beading effect directly during rinsing.

SiO₂ wash: How Q²M Bathe+ redefines coating care

The integration of SiO₂ ceramic particles into car shampoos is a relatively young development in detailing – and GYEON Q²M Bathe+ shows why it has prevailed. During the washing process, the SiO₂ particles come into direct contact with the paint surface and existing protective layers. The washing process evenly distributes the particles and enhances the hydrophobic properties of the coating surface. After rinsing, the surface shows a significantly stronger beading effect than before washing. This effect accumulates over several washes and keeps coatings fresh much longer than normal shampoos.

Q²M Bathe+ for which vehicles and situations?

Q²M Bathe+ is particularly effective on vehicles with ceramic coating (e.g. Q² Mohs EVO, Q² One EVO or Q² Syncro EVO) or polymer sealants. On freshly sealed vehicles, Bathe+ significantly extends coating durability. For vehicles without a coating, we recommend the regular Q²M Bathe, which is sufficient for unsealed surfaces. Vehicles with PPF film, however, should use Q²M PPF Wash.

The optimal washing routine with Q²M Bathe+

For maximum results with Q²M Bathe+, we recommend the following sequence: high-pressure cleaning to pre-rinse coarse dirt, then pre-foam with Q²M Foam for contactless pre-cleaning, followed by contact washing with Q²M Bathe+ using the two-bucket method, thorough rinsing and drying. If you want to refresh even more protection after washing, you can additionally apply Q²M WetCoat to the wet vehicle – the combination of Bathe+ and WetCoat is unbeatable for quick sealant refreshment.

Comparison: Q²M Bathe vs. Bathe+ – When is the upgrade worthwhile?

Both shampoos are excellent – the choice depends on the vehicle and care goals. Q²M Bathe is the efficient everyday shampoo for thorough cleaning without extras. Q²M Bathe+ is the recommended shampoo for vehicles with ceramic coating or sealant – the upgrade is worthwhile for anyone who wants to maximize the lifespan of their coating investment and maintain the lotus effect after every wash. Bathe+ is slightly higher in price, but is more efficient due to its dual benefit (cleaning + sealant care).

Purchase recommendation: The best shampoo for coated vehicles

GYEON Q²M Bathe+ is our first recommendation for any vehicle with a ceramic coating. It significantly simplifies coating care: No separate care step needed after washing – the lotus effect is automatically refreshed. As a perfect complement: Q²M Bug&Grime for pre-wash, Q²M Cure for monthly coating refreshment, and Q²M WetCoat for wet sealing after intensive cleaning.
