This is my go to wax since it came out last year and you reviewed it Jon. Stunning hydrophobicity, not surprising really as although not the cheapest, Gyeon stuff is great in my opinion. I’ve applied it with my DA polisher since day 1 however I thought I’d apply it by hand with their applicator last week and it not only took a lot longer to do (which is a given I know lol) but wasn’t anywhere as even to apply and then to take off. The machine application is def the way forward, for me anyway 😂👍🏼🤩
I agree, my go to wax too and Prep from Gyeon is as bad as fresh bread baking as in its smell "im addicted" 😁, also Gyeon wax not a total nightmare with the 🌞 like some waxes. Not having a garage it's a "needs must" situation
Would you be willing to try this test with a fusso coat? I think a 3 inch pad would fit in the lid . It's the wax that really doesn't forgive much when you overapply it and this machine method might fix that ...
Love the Gyeon wax crazy gloss and beading just keep it away from a strong shampoo Like feynlab Pure wash and should last a long time. fantastic smelling product and superb gloss and reflections
The camera isn't going fuzzy or out of focus, but seems to be over exposing because of the dark panel. You could try dialling in a stop of under exposure and see if that gets you a better result? Great video as usual though!
Great video...Gyeon Wax is genius ! I am surprised that this simple form of application have not come sooner... Ease of use and properties that deliver this product are outstanding... Using DA polisher can save a lot of time.
I have wondered if manufacturers could produce a wax that is halfway between paste and liquid that could be dispensed from toothpaste type tubes. It will be interesting to see if others copy this idea.
Great video. Can you recommend a good 150mm pad to remove light scratches with compound and one for polishing with my DA polisher? As a DIY user there are so many choices that causes confusion, and I don't need a professional range of pads. I just want two types in my cupboard that I can buy in pack of five of more, rather than a pack of assorted types. Thanks.
Hi John, I am getting a new car later this year, and I am using my old one to practice detailling which I have not done before. So I did a deep clean (I thought) and waxed the car, only to realize that in a few spots I have waxed over dirt. On top of that I want to try and polish some scratches, but how do I get through my double speed to do that, do I just need to strip it by washing it a bunch of times? Seems like strippers are not that efficient
Jon, been using Gyeon Q2 Wax since last spring and love it! I plan on doing a massive detail on my new car soon w/ Gyeon Pure EVO and will eventually top it with Q2 Wax at some point😉
Be wary of applying the Q2 Wax on top of pure. Car Craft Auto Detailing just did a review/test & the panel with PURE EVO that was topped with Q2 Wax lost hydrophobicity before the panel with Pure on it with no topper.
@@larrysing I'm sub'd to his channel and saw this video come up and not doubting you and certainly not him but Q2 Wax was specifically made to go ontop of coated paint🤔 I know what I'm watching during dinner this evening, thanks for the heads up😉
@@klasseact6663 I know - I have a Mohs Syncro EVO coating on one section of my daily driver, & I have put Q2 Wax on top of it. I’m doing occasional washes & tracking the hydrophobics on my channel. It will be interesting to see how well it holds up with the Q2 Wax on top of it, but with Q2 Ceramic Detailer (and an occasional Cure topper) maintaining it.
I see your recommendation from your other video and I will be using them one of these weekends, the car looked great before you used the wax what did you use before hand to get it to that stage? Was it that prep and primer seen in the vid?
Isn't that a lot pf wax you used? I always thought an ultra thin layer is better. I used Collinete 845, Fusso Coat and Menzerna Powerlock Ultimate Protection that way.
currently enjoying your videos, probably going to get myself a das8 after watching you use it, i have a question why is the meguires mt320 so expensive compared to other machines they all do the same thing do they not?
My f10 m5 to big for my garage. So forced to stay on drive way. I'm getting very addicted to detaling. My question is after wash and drying and decontamination stage. Quite often the light conditions are poor to carry on. So cover car. It may then be left a day or two before I'm able to move on. Would you go over car with a panel wipe. Or a very gentle wash. Or any advice before applying wax. Thanks Jon
See you keep reaching for the flex forced rotation!! Is it worth getting the cheaper in2detailing or just wait and get the flex when i have the cash! As a beginner
Jon. Another mistake made. Used a black softer pad and wax on a basic drill head and it left holograms. How is this even possible. Know forced rotation for compound reduces chance deeper holograms but plain wax on a drill still left them ???? Did I push the pad in. Wonder what did wrong. I do polish by hand where I compound first. This was a flat black not needing correction. So went in with speed. Drill and wax and failed !!!!!!! Lovely glossy finish and then next day. Saw…. Holograms !!!!!!
hey buddy, yer the same "can" happen with rotary. pressure and speed and the abrasive effect of the wax. Drill is not ideal. It creates heat and micro surface marring when that clearcoat softens from the heat. Best thing is to get a DA mate this just wont happen on DA or very very unlikely to.
@@ForensicDetailing thanks loads Jon. My original DA can come back out for polishing only. Ditch drill back to seats only use. Stupid me thinking ok for wax application.
Where's your hoodie Jon ?, Your zip at times was tweaking me out 🤯. Be good channel content and a selling point why hoodies/ t-shirts are a good idea while detailing (basically anything with a zip or metal buttons (jeans) = possible epic fail. Forensic detailing merch out the door win win. 🙂.
Can I also use the machine to buff the wax after applying? I always see people hand buff wax after applying and wondering if it’s okay to buff with a machine to speed up the process instead?
Hello hoped you might be avke to help me. Iv purchased a torq 22d 16A -240 volt polisher but its arrived with a European plug and the uk adapters are specified as 13A -250 volts? I don't suppose you know if its safe to use the 13A UK adapter for a 16A European plug.
God I want to give that wax a go on my car. The only thing is I have "carbon fiber" racing stripes that were installed from the factory. Would the wax put a film over that or would I have to avoid it all rogwther
May be a stupid question but can you not use a soft wool or micro fibre head on the machine to take off residue so removing with minimal effort, their must be a reason why not as Ive never seen it done and I sure this is a stupid question. Thanks John
Very useful video, but considering how critical the type of pad could be to the overall ease of application it’s surprising that there is no mention of it in the video, and only vague replies in the comments. The only omission from an otherwise informative video. Love the technical term “buffage”😃
I’m planning on using Gyeon Primer before their EVO ONE coating soon 👍 using Gyeon’s white pads - would you recommend slow machine speeds and working times Jon ?
Chris I have video on this coming soon. Primer can be worked on softer pads with no issue High speed will be ok, but keep it at medium like brand suggest. Forgiving to use and buffs well. It's easy u will love it
Yo Dad, as a quick aside - do you think it would be worthwhile to do a deep dive on claying a coating? Adams did a video on their graphene coating/claying the coating after a year. The comments section went wild and were in all directions 😵💫 I really dunno either way, just thought it was interesting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm personally, pro-claying a coating. Even with some maintenance, a coating will suffer some degree of performance deterioration after a year. If the owner doesn't periodically decontaminate their paint with fallout remover, tar/glue remover/TFR etc., they're going to get embedded contaminants that will affect the hydrophibicity of the coating. Claying an underperforming coating will remove these contaminants and in most cases, revive its properties.
If the twisty think breaks on Gyeon wax just unscrew the end and you can push it up with a screwdriver. Happened to me yesterday 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣

I did exactly the same thing last week but left it to cure overnight, came off so easy and water behaviour is like nothing I've seen before.
Love the Gyeon wax crazy gloss and beading just keep it away from a strong shampoo Like feynlab Pure wash and should last a long time. fantastic smelling product and superb gloss and reflections

Phanter344 is right. Everything is in focus, but the exposure changes. Might try setting the exposure manually.
Gm jon, impressive results useing the flex polisher. I have to admit I wasn't expecting the removal to be that easy. 👍🏆 cheers from Canada. 🇨🇦
Great video...Gyeon Wax is genius ! I am surprised that this simple form of application have not come sooner... Ease of use and properties that deliver this product are outstanding... Using DA polisher can save a lot of time.
They have. Dodo Juice did a supernatural wax stick years ago that could be applied via DA, excellent product.
I have wondered if manufacturers could produce a wax that is halfway between paste and liquid that could be dispensed from toothpaste type tubes. It will be interesting to see if others copy this idea.

Just use scholl S20 black. Flex purple on hard paint orange soft
The Gyeon Q2 is a great product. Very hydrophobic. I will give machine waxing a go.

You can't strip protection with detergents as a general rule. You need to wash, the area, clay the area, reprotect it m8

@@larrysing still not sure why you'd want to mask off a true coat with a wax.
@@sebster6031 The same reason anyone puts a “sacrificial layer” on any coating. If you leave a coating without a topper, it degrades faster.

jon use manual exposure shout keep the haze out of camera
Would love to try this, as a beginner what machine polisher would you recommend and the pads for this ?
nice video mate, miranda detailing did this a few weeks back i think. great minds think alike.
Time to market the zipless Forensic Detailing Hoodie!
Applying a wax or sealant via polisher is awesome..feel like im cheating
Can i do this by using microfiber wax applicator pads on orbital buffer?????
Yes
currently enjoying your videos, probably going to get myself a das8 after watching you use it, i have a question why is the meguires mt320 so expensive compared to other machines they all do the same thing do they not?
I don't know m8 is the short answer

Careful Jon, buffing in circles means your scratches won’t line up… 😆
Do i need to use prep and primer before putting a wax on? I didn't think i did but see you refer to them at the end.
You don't need to but I like too
Really tempted to buy some of that wax. Also, which microfibre cloths are the grey ones you use ?
They come direct from China mill
@@ForensicDetailing ok thanks
See you keep reaching for the flex forced rotation!! Is it worth getting the cheaper in2detailing or just wait and get the flex when i have the cash! As a beginner
It's worth it if your really into this. Otherwise no go Chinese
Love your channel sir. Is t that white pad too aggressive? Black pad be better for wax? Cheers
no its a soft finishing pad rupes I think

Hi, I am undecided whether to purchase a da polisher. I am considering rupes duetto 12mm throw or in2detailing da15....could you recommend please?
Nice. No more hand waxing from me. Machine all the way.
Hi, I have the same polisher machine as you use here. Have you done a video on what are the best applicator pads to use..? Thanks!
Do you use wool or normal sponge pad ?
@@harisyoung4110 I have the chemical guys sponge pads. But open to wool if it’s better.
Do you think using the da polisher will degrade a ceramic coating, thinking of using this as a topper on top of my mohs syncro coating.
with a soft finishing pad on low speed should be ok mate but hard question to answer.
Jon how do you find gyeon wax when it gets on the black trim,does it stain or not,it’s got a beautiful shine by the way
I'm not sure but prolly want to not get it on trim
How much for all 3 Gyeon products you have on display and used in this video plz

Is that one pad for the machine enough to do the whole body?
with waxing sure. with cutting or polishing no it will overhead.
Hello hoped you might be avke to help me.
Iv purchased a torq 22d 16A -240 volt polisher but its arrived with a European plug and the uk adapters are specified as 13A -250 volts?

I really dont know mate im sorry
Does this product finish create a water bead in the rain please.
Hell yer
God I want to give that wax a go on my car. The only thing is I have "carbon fiber" racing stripes that were installed from the factory. Would the wax put a film over that or would I have to avoid it all rogwther
if its clearcoat CF wax it if its exposed carbon fiber just leave it yer.
@@ForensicDetailing yeah it's exposed. Thanks boss
Could I use the da8 from in2detailing to apply AG ultra HD wax ? If so which pad should I be using? Thanks 👍
Yes use sift pad like rupes white. Or fkex red. Problem will be getting wax out of pot onto pad. Pad bigger than pot
Still waiting for the review of turtle wax new improved seal n shine , it’s actually called seal n shine now in U.K.
May be a stupid question but can you not use a soft wool or micro fibre head on the machine to take off residue so removing with minimal effort, their must be a reason why not as Ive never seen it done and I sure this is a stupid question. Thanks John
It's not a stupid question but most people just use a good mf towel to remove the wax because it's easier and just better to do so.
Faster as well because you don't have to keep picking up and putting down a machine. Plus you've gotta use a mf towel for fine tuning anyways💡😉
Also a machine creates too much heat.
@@MegaFregel great point and the points are mounting here...use a mf towel and call it a day!
Do you using the wool or sponge pad in this video ?
sponge m8

Just use soft foam pad it's not critical lol. It's a rupes white, could use any foam finishing pad
Says discount code not valid on items in basket, da8, mjjc cannon, bilt hamber clay bar and hex logic pads 🤷♂️
