01 | Before you go
The first part of your holiday preparations
A thorough wash before departure is the perfect opportunity to give your car a complete check.
- Are your tires in good shape?
- Any chips in your windows?
- check your engine oil, coolant, wiper fluid, and tire pressure.
This way, you'll start your in for a safe journey!
Our wash recommendations? Pay extra attention to your windows for clear visibility.
- Use GYEON Q2M Glass+ for cleaning and protection in one, or the combination of GYEON Q2M Glass and Soft99 W-Jet.
- Don't forget the inside of the windows. When the sun sets, you'll be happy they're clean. New and loved by many, use Bilt-Hamber Touch-Less.
Got some extra time? Protect your entire car before you leave. This will save you a lot of effort later, for example, with caked-on insects or sand.
- Keep it simple with GYEON Q2M WetCoat, or take it a step further and choose the durability of GYEON Q2 CanCoat EVO. .
02 | During your trip
Your trunk is probably already full, let's focus on the essentials.
Why keep your car clean on the road? The sun! Bird droppings, flies, and other insects can quickly etch into your paint in warm weather, often resulting in permanent stains and scratches.
- For this reason, an insect remover like GYEON Q2M Bug&Grime and a quick detailer are indispensable.
- An interior cleaner like GYEON Q2M Interior Detailer keeps your car fresh. Sweat, snacks, or dirty feet leave their marks, but they're easy to remove with this product.
- Definitely bring GYEON Q2M EcoWash! This multifunctional product can be used as a drying aid, rinseless wash, and waterless wash. Prepare a 1:10 dilution in the IK mini sprayer beforehand for a waterless wash, handy in places without easy water access. If we had to choose one product to bring along, it would be this one!
Some handy accessories that you can use for different purposes:
- Include a few GYEON Q2M SoftWipes EVO with your EcoWash dilution. GYEON Q2M PolishWipes have one side with long fibers (useful with quick detailer) and one with short ones (ideal for the interior), thus come in very handy!
- A GYEON Q2M Interior Pack EVO contains all the cloths for your interior and windows.
- Still got room to spare? Bring along the Reach&Clean tool from Invisible Glass. Thanks to its shape and length, you'll easily clean your windows - without having to use those dirty ones at gas stations!
Gather all these items conveniently in the AVA Car Care Bucket. It includes a handy divider to keep your products tidy and doubles as your wash bucket!
