GYEON Q² Rim EVO Ceramic Rim Coating 30ml

Permanently Clean Rims – GYEON Q² Rim EVO

What is GYEON Q² Rim EVO? GYEON Q² Rim EVO is a professional ceramic coating for alloy wheels that builds a hard SiO₂ protective layer – heat-resistant, brake dust-repellent, and easy to clean, for permanently clean rims with minimal maintenance.

Rims are the hardest part of a vehicle to clean – brake dust, high temperatures, and mechanical stress quickly render classic care products ineffective. GYEON Q² Rim EVO fundamentally changes the situation: a high-temperature resistant ceramic coating lays a permanent protective layer over the rim, which keeps brake dust and dirt on the surface, prevents it from penetrating, and reduces cleaning to a minimum. The EVO standard offers optimized temperature resistance and improved curing behavior.

• High-temperature resistant protective layer – heat resistant to well over 200°C. Rims heat up considerably during driving due to brake friction. Conventional waxes or polymer sealants melt or decompose at these temperatures. Q² Rim EVO is designed for high-temperature use and retains its protective properties even under intense braking loads.
• Brake dust beads off instead of baking on. Brake dust particles are the main problem with rim contamination – without protection, they bake onto the rim surface under heat and are then very difficult to remove. Q² Rim EVO creates a hydrophobic barrier, causing brake dust and road grime to bead off and preventing them from sticking.
• Rim cleaning significantly easier – without aggressive rim cleaners. Sealed rims can be cleaned with significantly less effort. Water and a mild cleaner are sufficient in most cases – the need for aggressive rim cleaners becomes less frequent, which protects the rim surface and preserves the coating longer.

Detailing1's practical tip: Thoroughly clean the rims before coating – all brake dust deposits, tar spots, and oil residues must be completely removed. First, use GYEON Q²M Iron WheelCleaner for rust film and brake dust, then a degreaser if necessary. The rim must be completely cold when Q² Rim EVO is applied – never coat warm rims.

Chemistry and Physics: Why Ceramic Rim Coatings Are Different

The challenge with rim coatings is temperature stability. Rims can heat up to 150–300°C during intensive braking – depending on the vehicle and driving style. Waxes already melt at 80–90°C, polymer sealants last a little longer but also dissolve under extreme heat. GYEON Q² Rim EVO uses SiO₂ chemistry with an optimized high-temperature hardener: the cured layer retains its structure and protective effect even under extreme braking loads. The EVO standard of the formulation improves temperature resistance and ensures more homogeneous layer formation on the often-structured rim surface.

Application: Rim Coating Step-by-Step

Preparation is key when it comes to rim coating. First, thoroughly clean the rims of brake dust and rust film with Q²M Iron WheelCleaner, and if necessary, remove tar-containing residues with a tar remover. After complete cleaning, degrease and allow to dry. Then apply Q² Rim EVO thinly and evenly to the rim – treat spokes, bowl, and rim flange separately. After the flash time, work it in with a microfiber cloth. Proceed panel by panel per rim. Curing at room temperature takes 12–24 hours – only move the vehicle after complete curing. After the first drive, allow the rims to cool and remove any stains from the initial braking heat with a cloth.

Areas of Application: Which Rims and Vehicles Benefit Most?

GYEON Q² Rim EVO is particularly recommended for vehicles with high brake dust accumulation (sports cars, SUVs with large brakes), for vehicles with light rim colors (white, silver, polished – where brake dust is immediately visible), and for all vehicles where the rims are an important visual part of the vehicle. Q² Rim EVO also offers long-lasting protection against direct contact with aggressive dirt particles for rims with intricate paintwork or high-gloss polish.

Q² Rim EVO vs. Standard Rim Care Products

The rim care market offers many solutions – from rim wax to spray sealants and special sealants. Conventional rim waxes or sealants last 4–8 weeks under normal driving conditions; often significantly less under intensive braking. GYEON Q² Rim EVO is a true ceramic coating: it lasts many months under the same conditions, is more temperature-resistant, and provides a harder, more durable surface. The higher application effort quickly pays off through longer lasting effectiveness and significantly reduced cleaning effort.

Recommendation: Permanently Clean Rims with Minimal Effort

GYEON Q² Rim EVO is recommended for anyone who wants to permanently reduce the cleaning effort for their rims and at the same time establish professional protection. As a care system, we recommend: Q²M Iron WheelCleaner for regular cleaning, Q² Rim EVO as a base sealant. After the coating application, only water and a mild cleaner are needed for normal rim washing.
