We Say
A great tyre dressing starts with properly cleaned rubber. TireCleaner strips away the old finish so your fresh protection has the best possible start.
One of the most common complaints we hear about tyre dressings is that they don't last as long as expected. It's easy to blame the dressing itself, but quite often the problem begins much earlier in the process. If the tyre hasn't been cleaned thoroughly, you're simply applying fresh protection over old dressing residues, road grime and accumulated contamination.
GYEON Q²M TireCleaner is designed to solve exactly that problem. Unlike a general-purpose car shampoo, it's formulated specifically for rubber, working into the textured sidewall to loosen contamination that ordinary washing can leave behind.
Tyres have a particularly hard life. They're constantly exposed to road dirt, water, brake dust and the remains of previous dressings. Over time, these deposits can become ingrained in the sidewall, leaving an uneven appearance and interfering with the adhesion of fresh tyre protection.
What makes TireCleaner particularly effective is the way it works alongside a suitable stiff-bristled brush. Spray it onto the tyre, agitate thoroughly and you'll often see the resulting foam become discoloured as dirt and old dressing residues are released. It's a useful visual indication of just how much contamination was still present.
GYEON recommends repeating the process until the foam remains white. We think that's a far better guide than simply cleaning every tyre once and assuming it's ready. A tyre that's been heavily dressed over several months may need more attention than one that's regularly maintained.
We'd pair it with the GYEON Q²M Tire Brush, which has suitably firm bristles for working the cleaner into the sidewall without making the process unnecessarily difficult.
One detail worth highlighting is the product's current pH specification. GYEON lists TireCleaner at pH 10, making it alkaline rather than neutral. That's entirely appropriate for a dedicated rubber cleaner, but we'd still recommend avoiding unnecessary overspray onto sensitive materials and following the manufacturer's application instructions.
GYEON also confirms that TireCleaner is compatible with ceramic-coated wheels. That makes it particularly useful for customers who have protected their alloys but still need a more intensive cleaning product for the tyres themselves.
Once the rubber has been thoroughly cleaned, rinsed and dried, it's ready for fresh protection. For a long-lasting finish, GYEON Q² Tire is an excellent partner. If you prefer a quick, straightforward dressing during regular maintenance, Q²M Tire Express is another useful option.
For us, TireCleaner is one of those products that makes the rest of your detailing routine work better. It doesn't add shine or protection itself, but by properly preparing the rubber, it helps you get the appearance and durability you're looking for from the products applied afterwards.

Description
GYEON Q²M TireCleaner is a specialist alkaline cleaner designed to remove old tyre dressings, ingrained road grime and stubborn contamination from rubber surfaces.
Its intensive cleaning formula works into the textured tyre sidewall to release accumulated dirt and dressing residues, leaving a properly prepared surface for the application of fresh tyre dressing or rubber protection.
With a manufacturer-specified pH of 10, TireCleaner is suitable for all types of rubber tyres, including whitewall tyres. GYEON also confirms that it can be used around ceramic-coated wheels without interfering with their protective coatings when used correctly.

For deep cleaning: Pair TireCleaner with the GYEON Q²M Tire Brush. Its stiff bristles help work the cleaner into tyre lettering, grooves and textured sidewalls.
For longer-lasting protection: Once the tyres are clean and completely dry, apply GYEON Q² Tire using the GYEON Q²M Tire Applicator for controlled, even coverage.
For everyday tyre maintenance: GYEON Q²M Tire Express is a quick and convenient dressing for restoring a natural, factory-fresh appearance after cleaning.
Please note: TireCleaner is a cleaning product rather than a tyre dressing. It removes existing protection, so fresh dressing or coating should be applied afterwards if required. Always rinse thoroughly and allow the tyres to dry before applying protection.

How To Use
1) Prepare the tyres:
Ensure the tyres are cool and remove loose dirt with water where necessary. Work away from direct sunlight and check compatibility with any adjacent sensitive finishes.
2) Apply the cleaner:
Spray GYEON Q²M TireCleaner directly onto the tyre sidewall, distributing it evenly over the rubber.
3) Agitate thoroughly:
Use a suitable stiff-bristled tyre brush, such as the GYEON Q²M Tire Brush, to work the cleaner into the rubber, including tyre lettering and textured areas.
4) Rinse completely:
Rinse the tyre thoroughly with clean water, removing the discoloured foam, loosened dirt and old dressing residues.
5) Repeat if necessary:
If the foam remains heavily discoloured, repeat the cleaning process. GYEON recommends continuing until the foam turns white, indicating that most of the accumulated contamination has been removed.
6) Allow to dry:
Ensure the tyre is completely dry before applying a fresh dressing or protective coating.
7) Apply protection:
Finish with a suitable tyre treatment such as GYEON Q² Tire or Q²M Tire Express, following the specific product instructions.
