How To Wash Your Car Without Touching It | GYEON Foam Pre Wash
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июл 2024
- Have you ever wished that you could just foam your car, then rinse it off and be done with all the dirt and grime rinsing away perfectly? Gyeon Foam is an amazing pre wash car soap that allows you to do that! The soap is specially formulated with a high ph that allows for more aggressive cleaning. The high PH out of the bottle breaks down dirt, road grime, bee droppings, and more while switching over to a PH neutral state when diluted. Gyeon Foam works great by producing thick foam that clings to the panel and allows the soap to sit on the surface longer, giving it more time to work. ENJOY!!!

16 months ago I found a nice 2012 White Toyota Tacoma with 52k miles. It was a well cared for Fleet Truck. Then a direct hit from Hurricane Ida and our vehicles had to sit outside while my garage would become our “lifeboat” for the next 10 months while our damaged home was being repaired. Moving back into the house made room for our vehicles to get back inside the garage. The white truck took a real beating from the heat, humidity, acid rain, industrial fallout, Saharan Dust , bugs and bird poop etc. It looked like a mildewed “Dalmatian”. It took me 6 days of work but using Josh’s Suggestions, techniques, and product recommendations and it really came out better than I could ever have imagined it. It looked like a new car off the lot (well as new as a 2012 could possibly be). Thanks Josh for being such a good teacher! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
1. That is awesome and Im honored that any of my suggestions help people!
2. Sorry to hear that... Im sure that was not only scary, but a complete nightmare to deal with all of the after effects from the Hurricane
@@imjoshv failure of roofing shingles due to extreme high winds in excess of 150 mph caused water intrusion which required removal of drywall and insulation. The biggest headache by far was trying to deal with an insurance company that was being slow to pay out and lowballing on insurance damage estimates. There are still far too many people still out of their homes as they continue to have issues in getting prompt assistance and a reasonable amount for their losses.
And yes, I gave gotten much out of your videos and I’ve learned much about proper car car and detailing procedures. Thanks again Josh.
Damn!!! Glad the whole ordeal’s behind you now and everyone’s at least ok, 👊🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
I like seeing videos like this showing the cleaning capabilities along with the foam. I normally clean very dirty semis, agriculture, and construction equipment and would like to see more comparisons on how different soaps break down dirt.
this is how a prewash should be! i watched another channel compare all the ph neutral prewashes like adams and chemical guys vs bilt hamber and they did NOT clean well. not like the bilt hamber, or what you showed the gyeon foam did. thank you for this test and video!
Wow, this is a great video Josh. I'm definitely going to have to get me some of this GYEON foam. Thanks always for your honesty
Nice, thanks Josh 👍😁
Great video 😊
I bought my first new car this year and it came with ceramic coating ('22 Jaguar XF-R Dynamic, British Racing Green). I've always deep-dived into subjects I'm unfamiliar with and ceramic coating was definitely an opportunity for me. Your channel has been an excellent tool for learning and discovering a new passion with the world of car detailing. I always come here first! Thank you for all the work you put into these videos and your use of scientific method!
Nice review and definitely a winner! Josh, have you looked into Auto Fanatic products? Love to see you do a review of some of their products
Thanks for the good review on this product.
I have a black Nissan 370Z that has had a three-stage polishing and a coating that shows every bit of dirt and contamination on the clearcoat. I've been using this prewash in an Ik 12 pro pump sprayer with a 4% solution in distilled water @ 60 psi. It gives a great layer of foam that does an excellent job of cleaning the surfaces of the car. I do follow up with a hand wash with Gyeon Bathe+ to help maintain the hydrophobicity. The last step, after a garden hose rinse is a distilled water rinse through another pump sprayer and then a blow dry with an Ego electric leaf blower.
Using this routine, I've been able to do maintenance washes for the last 5 years without adding any scratches, spider marks or swirls. Every 6 months I do a decontamination wash with Gyeon Iron on the wheels and lower body panels and then a hand wash with Gyeon Restart. After that, I then reapply a silicon sealant with Optimum's Hyperseal. The car still repels water like mad and I'm very happy with the results. I'm a big fan of Gyeon products because they do work, exactly as advertised.
Fantastic video as always. I tried some of this stuff and was impressed, but of course this got me wondering which "Pre Wash" soap could be used as a touchless wash? Would love to see a comparison like you did for all the soaps used in foam cannons. Bilt Hambers many soaps, Wash Chems Pro 50/100, Zep Truck'N'Trailer, Chem X Stars and stripes and any others out there.
Dude my favorite wash soap. I freaking love this soap. .. 😂
Great job on your videos, very informative. Thanks. 👍 I’m new to your channel an have been binge watching everything. I recently bought a 2018 Camaro SS 1LE. I don’t know what all has been done to it such as wax or coatings. Is there any special care I should give if it does have any special coatings? Thanks again.
could u do a review on wash Chems pro 50 and or chem x stars and stripes? those are both touchless washes that I have seen some other detailers use but no one has done a review as in depth or detailed as the reviews u usually do.
Got some of this to try based on your video/review. Tried it on my wife's daily driver which is parked outdoors. It's a new car that I applied a graphene coating (Adam's Advanced) to the day it came home from the dealer. This was it's first wash after being outdoors for 3+ weeks and it came out very good. Great foam with your version of the MJCC foam canon. I used DI water for the wash and rinse and didn't dry. I'll be using this every few weeks to keep the car looking nice and do a hand wash every month or so. Thanks!
Awesome!
@@imjoshv Update. I washed my IONIQ5 (matte gray) with the Gyeon. Instead of diluting it 5-1 like I did on my first test, today I diluted 10-1 and it still foamed and performed great.
Hi, I am in the winter season, can I use this every week ? Or every few weeks during the winter months to get the winter dirt out ? I use the Mother’s California Gold Carnauba soap and use the MJJC foam canon. Thanks !
Like this channel. Appreciate the recommendations, bought everything you recommended. Random question, I know this is a car channel, but can these foam canon's and soaps be used for other projects? I just want to spray everything lol I've neglected my 6 trash totes, and my windows, would they benefit from all that foam?
Probably the best lubrication soap
Would love to see you try Stjarnagloss snö foam pre wash and see what you think of it
Great vid as always Josh would you recommend using this foam with a vinyl wrapped car...
Hi, I really enjoy your videos they always been a great help. The question I have for you is if I use the Q2M Gyeon Foam in my foam cannon and I notice that I still need to do a contact wash what would suggest? Do I use another product or can I use the same one in a bucket or do you suggest to foam the car again and then proceed for the contact wash
Another great video, and I may give this a shot. On a side note, I got a kick out of the comment that the test strip looked like it was above 14 because I immediately thought of This is Spinal Tap.
I love that movie!
Tried this today, i normally use Adam's Mega Foam and it works ok but not amazing. This wash definitely looks and feels cleaner. My thing though is the areas behind the wheels where wet road water created those annoying black spots I'd say are 80% cleaner, still there but light colored. The tail gate is maybe 85% cleaner. Those black spots seems like they're impossible to get without a hand wash, and this SUV sucks up air and dirt onto the tailgate a mile down the road after a full wash. Impossible to keep the back end truly clean, but you do need to get up close on the tail gate to really see it which is nice. The rest of the car though from the paint, windows, wheels, and tires are easily 90-95% clean. It looks great in those areas.
I throw rinseless over the soap sometimes once it's applied to help not cause any water spots.
appreciate the pH testing, couldn't find that info anywhere. Thinking of using this soap on my XPEL wrap+ceramic. I have the same MJJC and it doesn't foam up nearly as much, do you think its my pressure washer? only 1.2 gpm. Thoughts on using this as a prewash and then washing over it with ONR? Then you don't need another rinse.
Can you add Super Clean to a otherwise neutral soap and make a one step foam wash?
What are your thoughts on the Chem-X stats and strips stuff for no touch?
Looking for a no touch wash and wax for my semi truck. I usually go to blue beacon truck wash. they do the best job but I don’t know what they use. Any suggestions would be great I did go with your pressure wash set up.
Can you do a review of the duchisin foam cannon?
Would you recommend Gyeon foam or Restart for a new cars first wash prior to PPF?
I wish there were more videos on washing your car at a public car wash. Some of us don’t have the luxury to have our own pressure washer and foam cannon.
Just go when it’s not busy like at night. I take 1-2 IK foam sprayers and put pre wash and all that. Works fine for me
I'm looking for a good interior soap or cleaner. Any suggestions?
Have you ever tried the MJJC Pro with a 1.0 orifice?
Hey can if I'm in direct sunlight can I spray the car down to cool it then foam and keep foaming it for the whole minute I let it dwell and then rinse?
I like to see you do a product review of the p@s Renny Doyle products. Thanks
Hey Josh, sorry to bug you but what would be the Carpro equivalent of this product?
9 times out of 10 I wash my Harley touch less and use a leaf blower to dry. When I do a contact wash I go all out and get the paint perfect again.
perfect!
Can you test 3d pre wash? Nano pail it's concentrated 1800:1
Hey josh, I want to get the mjjc, I use the sticky snowball chemical guys foam that’s supposed to get me a good amount of foam, my pressure washer claims to be 2000psi 1.2hgpm, I think my pressure washer is the reason why I don’t get enough foam, what pressure washer do you use and recommend for good foam? Preferably electric
Is this product safe for vinyl wrap?
So how much solution I need to put on my foam cannon for a proper dilution ratio?
Can this be used with a mechanical/touch wash or is the pH as such that it's best to just do a sit & rinse?
What’s your thoughts on Chem-X? They got touch less wash soaps
Can you do a video on how to wash your car at a diy car wash place?
Great video
Have you ever used any products from chem-x?
Thank you for the video. Do you still consider this a decent foam that will clean well even after using Bilt Hamber?
I do! Bilt hamber is great though as well! I also like the higher alkaline soaps from Koch chemie
Can u please do a comparison with Angelwax Fastfoam it’s a similar product.. lov your channel take care
Ill try and get my hands on some!
How do you think this product would with a foamer just running on a regular water hose?
Love the vids!
I think applying with a normal foamer should work well! A hose probably not as well cause you want it to stick on the panel a bit
@@imjoshv Noted. Thanks for the quick response!
you should still do contact wash even after a good pre wash. The point is that pre wash could possibly reduce the chance dirt and small racks that damage your paint.
Yep I agree I still do in many cases but for those quick washes in between the bigger ones this is a great way
Yep I agree I still do in many cases but for those quick washes in between the bigger ones this is a great way
I like Dawn soap myself.
Dawn is great at stripping, but it does have micro abrasives in it and can cause dulling over time. BUT, if youre using it as a touch less option i wonder if its that bad becuase you wouldnt be rubbing any of the abrasives on the paint... I might have to try and test that
Hey Josh can you look into the formula 4 spray wax? Apparently it’s good to avoid water spotting when washing without DI water or under the sun. There’s just not enough reviews out there. Thank you!!
I’ve used it before. It’s okay. I wasn’t impressed though. I operate out of Florida so I wasn’t expecting the product to work phenomenally. There are other products out there that give much more water beading.
@@v.i.p.detailing8930 Im more interested in avoid the water spotting
@@willdamian1066 I mean unless you're using a DI system the only ways to prevent water spotting is to first of all make sure your drying towel is clean, your wash bucket has clean water in it, and you're drying it really fast. That's really it. Down here in Florida, it doesn't really matter what you spray onto the vehicle as a bead maker, the water is going to evaporate so quick. Most of the time in dead summer, one side of the vehicle will be dry by the time I even get around to the other side.
Hey!!! Josh, is it possible for soap/foam soap to be PH Neutral but still strip wax? Is that common at all?
I would be surprised if it wouldn’t strip at least most of the wax and sealants but I haven’t used these so I can’t say for certain
Great video how this product compared to carpro lift or carpro reset ? Thanks
Im planning on doing a comparison soon
@@imjoshv Yes please! Compare all of the good brands that are considered "pre-wash" products that are alkaline just like this one!
Hey Josh on Gyeon site they say to make sure to rinse bottom up (opposed to the standard top down) … any reason for this reversal in method?
It’s so you know where you have previously sprayed. If you do the top-down approach the foam will drip down and it won’t be too clear what areas have been sprayed already.
@@ShineAndPreserveDetailing Totally get that on the application.. but the site stated rinse ???
Would you consider Adams mega foam as a pre wash?
Not really because it ph nuetral, but it would still help to soften and encapsulate loose dirt on the surface to help rinse it away
SUPER IMPORTANT QUESTION, I know you have a gravity fed setup, but I’m using a water pump on my setup that shoots 30gpm, is that too much water going into a 1800psi ryobi? I turn on the pump then let water go through the pressure washer and through my hose reel, and then I turn on the pressure washer but it gets SUPER loud and doesn’t stop so I have to turn off the pressure washer. If I had to guess it has something to do with the gpm going into the pressure washer right, I just wanted to ask if you know the max gpm for water going into pressure washers or if 30gpm is just way too much, thanks!
That sounds like a lot, did you figure it out?
Yea I just made a gravity fed setup too lol
Forensic Auto Detailing did a video like this a while ago where he tested the Bilt Hamber chemical. It worked fantastic, I wish it was more available here.
Yeah he has done a bunch of Bilt Hamber products. The new one hes been using foams really well. Im going to see if i can test that one soon
@@imjoshv I've tried to find some of the new formula that wasn't prohibitively expensive without luck. Hopefully you fair better. Maybe get a heap of it for your store? 😎😉
As far as a pre wash to remove that road grime from winter rain, do you think this Gyeon is better than Carpro Reset?
I personally use carpro lift for winter wash going spring then use carpro hydro2foam(similar to this product). I don't care how they they intend to use most product or what the sequence. But for me, i want it high ph wash and total cleaning before applying coating(hydro2foam). Then Carpro reset as my main soap. My car is coated with ceramic. Also i do this every 3months or every start/end of season.
How bad is "bee poop" on your paint? Should you remove it ASAP?
Not that bad, It so common and happens so often it would be hard to get it off right away. Ive never seen any negative impacts from bee poop... Im actually not sure if its poop or just chewed up pollen or what, but no its not a big deal
How should you wash a convertible with a soft top with a foam canon?
I dont think you should. The autoglym kit is pretty good to use or the others. Slightly make it damp, use a APC or convertible fabric cleaner and scrub lightly with a mid bristle brush, dry it and use a protector. Anything with wax or snow foam could maybe damage and make more work for yourself in terms of drying.
touch free car wash is like saying touch free ass wiping. lmao
I'm ready to see more foam cannon soaps compared! Especially now that your camera work has gotten a lot better. On some of your old "best foam cannon soap" videos, it was super hard to even see the demonstration. There's a lot of soaps you haven't tried yet, at least on video (Superior Image Maxi-Foam, Auto Fanatic 007 Snow Storm, etc.) that would be great to see compete.
Haha mee too. Yea those older videos were done when it was getting dark out some the video quality was effected, Im planning on doing more soap comparisons soon!
Do you rinse the car first? Or apply the foam to a dry car?
you can do either but to get the most out of the experience i say rinse it first imo
Doesn't something like this essentially eliminate the need to clay bar a vehicle?
Angel wax fast foam
FYI... Of the soaps you mention in the beginning, which brands are made in the USA?
typically how much diluted foam is actually used in a 4x4 vehicle?
They recommend 1:5 or up to 1:15 dilution. at 1:5 in a 30oz foam cannon bottle you would be at about 5-6 ounces or product.
You probably covered it before, but how are you getting spotless water againv
DI resin. To make your di canisters last longer get a rodi unit for fish tank dial in how much gpd you’ll need get a container to store the water install float valve. Perfect reverse osmosis deionized water 100% pure water no chance for contamination or water spots, but if you don’t want to deal with all that just keep the car wet stay out of hot sun and dry quickly w leaf blower twist loop micro fiber drying towel you won’t get water spots.
How many ml of gyeon foam you add for 1000lm of water
Really depends on the pressure washer set up but a safe number would be 3-4 oz
Hey Josh! Great video! I picked up the Portland pressure washer and it works great with the accessories it came with.
I replaced the hose, nozzle with swivel and got the adaptor like you suggested but now… there’s no pressure? No leaks anywhere any ideas??? Thank you!
Have you (or anyone here) tried rinseless as a pre wash? I tried once and it worked well, but I'm very much interested in everyone else's opinions/ideas on its usability as a pre wash and the viability of it
I use ONR blue at a 128:1 mix ratio and apply it with a pump sprayer to my Opticoat Pro+ coated black car. It works well to help remove any loose dirt, dissolve chemical deposits and soften up contaminants. Its high lubricity helps to prevent micro scratching when I hit it with a pressure rinse. I also fortify the hand wash detergent solution at 256:1 with the ONR to minimize contact friction with my wash mitt. This has worked well for me in not inducing any scratches or swirls in my very highly polished black car
I was curious about using rinseless as prewash. Wonder if it would work on a vehicle that has not been wash for some time and without any protection.
@@dipsg2965 I think that would be an excellent idea.
I’m not getting that affect with this product for some reason. I dilute as directed. I’m using the MJJC VS3 foam cannon. I sprayed on the vehicle. Let it sit for a minute then rinse off. But the car still had a lot of dirt on the vehicle. So I had to contact wash it. Maybe I have too high of an expectation? I was expecting it to pretty much make all dirt rinse right off. SOS
he let it sit on there 3 minutes, i wouldnt do it on a warm day unless cars not been in the sun and has a cool surface. If you have a performance car with a hot engine dont let it warm up or your hood and fenders will be warmed up and you'll get water spots.
I assume this can't be done on a ceramic coated vehicle, right?
It can, They state it is safe for coated vehicles. My work truck was coated about 5 years ago and this stuff helped to cut through everything on top of it that was effecting the hydrophobic properties.
Typically just foam on rinse off?
Yea, if there is a tone of heavy dirt you can do a prerinse to knock off any thick muddy spots but otherwise just foam it up, let dwell, rinse, and dry
I’d like to see it on an rv
Hmm, i wonder how that would work. Since they are fiberglass i wonder if it would have a different result
Chem-X is the truck wash. Stars and Stripes is his touch less wash products and he has snake oil which is a spray on sio2 coating type thing. It honestly looks like it works great but who knows what pressure he's using. Just found out 2500 psi at 4GPM!!!! That's fucking nuts!!
I use Stars and Stripes as well as the Snake Oil sealant. I’m just a DIYer but I am impressed with it so far. Wouldn’t mind seeing a review on it here.
@@05cgm is it safe on ceramic coatings?
Their website Q&A for the Stars and Stripes says not a problem, it’s within the pH tolerance of ceramic coatings. The Snake Oil is a ceramic sealant but I don’t do it every wash. It seems to hold up well.
Thats right Chem X! I would think it works very well, but they do mention to rinse thoroughly with a high psi pressure wash and stay 6-12" from the surface. I typically use 900-1200psi so so im not sure if thats high enough. My pressure washer has a ton of flow (gpm) so im sure it would be great but just something to note. Also the first product that goes on they do mention it can cause streaking on polished aluminum so you probably need to work pretty fast. This Gyeon product does it all in one and comes off the panel as neutral.
Good to know Josh. Thank you!
Ph neutral soap is for beginners
They are great for contact washing though because they typically have high levels on lubrication.
As a pre wash, I found Griots Surface Wash, to be easier to rinse, with the same cleaning power. Griots smells better, and is $7 less for 1000ml.
At 1:5 or 1:10 vs. 2oz Griots, I’m not seeing the value.
🏆
Thanks
I'm always trying to find a truly touch less wash method.
This worked a lot better than i was expecting honestly
Just use super clean
Is Super Clean pH neutral?
@@hartlanddetailer5670 no but tons of people use it or other apc in a foam cannon diluted correctly or in a spray bottle all around the car it melts everything off than spray off I learned it from stay slick auto detail here on RUclips
does this strip wax or flex wax off the car?
Why don't you try it on a dirty car and not one thats relatively clean.
You have almost mención start and stripes in this video 😂 is a real touchless wash but nobody wants to talk about it Everybody wanna keep that secret weapon from themselves
Too bad you didnt have a black car to do this test
