Gyeon Q2 Quickview

Gyeon Q2 Quick View was released earlier in 2021 and is designed to provide a hydrophobic coating to all exterior glass surfaces. Quick View has a life expectancy of approximately 6-months and also has the ability to repel contamination.

Like all Gyeon products, Quick View is presented in fresh packaging. While packaging is not an indicator of a products performance, there is no denying Gyeon have nailed the branding and bottle design of their products.





Gyeon recommend decontaminating glass prior to application with the use of a clay bar, although you could also polish the glass if required to. In my case, I used a clay block with Meguiar's Final Inspection as the lubricant.





Once clayed, I wiped the glass clear of the lubricant and then followed up with CarPro Eraser.





With the glass prepped, it was time for the Quick View. The main selling point for this product in my mind is the integrated applicator. First step is to squeeze the bottle to soak the felt pad.



Quick view is applied by working the applicator across the glass in circular motions, squeezing the bottle to release more product as required.



After letting sit for 5 minutes or so, you then wipe the product off the glass with a damp microfiber.



The application process of Quick View makes it a very simply and easy way to protect glass.
 
Wiping off with a damp towel doesn’t leave streaks?

Yeah, it does to a degree.

I would follow up with some ONR or Glass Cleaner afterwards if you have streaks, or wait till the next wash.
 
Let us know how it works in rain. Does it state temps safe to use in?

Griots glass sealant can’t be installed in under 60 degrees. Looking for something i can apply in winter.

I tried it a while back and wasn't impressed. The hdrophobic property is on par with typical Rain X. I still stand by Rust Oleum Never Wet for glass vs this product. You get more for the money, easy to apply and use and it works great and lasts. Just my Nickles worth. I think it's called Shield H20 Rain Repellent now.
 
Gyeon Quick View is great and its holding up on all our cars now quite nicely.

The only thing I dislike is how the product gets absorbed into the pad. Its quite finicky, even when squeezing the bottle to prime it. It doesn't evenly distribute into the pad and won't evenly distribute on the glass. On the side windows which are more vertical, the liquid pools up to the back of the bottle and doesn't reach the pad making for an aggravating application experience.
 
I had to drive home in a rather volatile storm this afternoon. On one hand, I was annoyed as if it had waited just ten minutes more, I would still have a clean car! On the other, I got to witness the water behavior of the Gyeon Quick View.

The rain drops literally danced all over the windscreen. The storm also brought through some gusty wind, exaggerating the water movement from the glass. On first acquaintance, Quick View certainly does what it says on the box. The next measure will be how long it lasts.
 
No wiper chatter? I used Fusso coat Glaco and it was a one way ticket to
shudder town. AW h2go is good.

None at all. It's still early days for the coating so will inform if/when I notice any different.
 
How's it holding up? I was thinking of buying but its pricey. I had carpro's flyby30 last 6 mths on a car that maybe seen 2500kms. Maybe i should just stick with that, its cheap. The sealant from griots is even cheaper, way cheaper.

It's holding up very well, approaching 4 months since I applied it now and still performing well.
 
After making this my post i found out how cheap gtechniq G1 was, i will be trying that for sure. I have a glass polish to use/try as well from labocosmetica, not super aggressive like carpro's ceriglass. I falsely assumed a glass ceramic coating was well over 50 USD lol I just want it for my windshield.
 
I used this product on our 4 vehicles since it's introduction last year. You do need to squeeze the bottle to get the applicator wet and it does not really say to do that. I have let it sit for 5-6 minutes before buff off with wet pad and then dry MF towel. My garage stored cars have seen almost 12 months of hydrophobics still. Outside stored cars 4-6 months. There true glass coating kit is still the best. I got 18 months of coverage on a garage stored vehicle.

I just looked at Q2 View, thats pretty cheap too! Both that and C1 are cheaper then Quick View, i understand you can get more applications of course for Quick View but i rather 1 application that can get me over the year mark. I don't drive my car a whole lot however. Probably 6-7k kilometres a year tops, mostly commuting to work once a mth which is 400km's away. It does sit outside however..
 
I just used up Quick View. Would prefer to get more uses out of it, application is annoying with how much I have to squeeze the bottle to get it to load up the applicator. It got to the point to where I just removed the applicator portion, took out the white blocker from the bottle and applied it directly to the applicator. Once you get it on the glass it's super easy to remove with a damp towel, even after sitting for longer than 5 minutes. Performance is good, although some cars I've done I noticed heavier wiper skipping, one of which was bad enough to where I needed to pull the polisher and remove. On the hunt now for a new mid-range glass sealer.
