BMW factory Frozen matte paint, using GYEON Q²M Bathe for routine washing. Excludes paint repair, polishing and coating application.
Tools
  • Two clean buckets
  • Soft wash mitt
  • Grit guard
  • Clean water supply
  • Suitable drying towel
  • Measuring container
Parts / supplies
  • GYEON Q²M Bathe; not an assumed substitute with a similar name
STEP 01

Prepare the two buckets

Use Q²M Bathe at the manufacturer’s 1:500 dilution: for example, 20 mL of product for 10 L of water. Prepare a separate rinse bucket with a grit guard for the mitt. Measure the actual water volume.

Why this product is within scope

GYEON describes Bathe as a shampoo suitable for all exterior automotive surfaces and protective layers. Its matte-surface maintenance kit includes Bathe as the contact-wash stage. That supports use of this named shampoo in the present routine; it does not authorize adding every sealant or decontaminant offered alongside it. Each additional treatment requires its own material and application check.

STEP 02

Rinse and wash

Rinse thoroughly before contact washing. Apply diluted shampoo with a soft mitt. Between panels, rinse the mitt in the separate bucket. Use gentle contact; do not increase pressure to chase a mark.

STEP 03

Rinse, dry and inspect

Rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry with a suitable soft towel. Dr. Beasley’s also permits a blower. Inspect the dry finish. Remaining stains require a separately documented matte-specific treatment rather than improvised abrasive correction.

Final check

Editorial check: inspect each panel from more than one angle, note existing marks and put all wash materials away before moving the car. If a mark persists, record where it is and what was used. A clear account is more useful to a paint specialist than a sequence of undocumented stronger treatments.
