GYEON Q2M WetCoat & GYEON Q2 Wax
Maintaining a pristine finish shouldn’t have to be a gruelling weekend chore. For those who lack the time for a full detailing session – or perhaps find traditional waxing a bit too strenuous – GYEON Q2M WetCoat is a genuine game-changer. This ingenious spray-and-rinse sealant delivers an instant, high-gloss ‘wet look’ with minimal effort. Simply apply it to a wet surface after washing and rinse it off; the result is incredible water beading and potent self-cleaning properties that keep the car looking sharper for longer. At just £15, a single bottle provides a full year of protection based on bi-monthly applications, making it a brilliant, low-cost gift.
On the other hand, for the enthusiast who truly relishes a long afternoon spent perfecting their pride and joy, GYEON Q2
Wax is the ultimate choice. This sophisticated fluorine-based wax offers a level of gloss and durability that far exceeds
basic shop-bought products. It’s remarkably easy to apply and buff away, leaving a resilient, hydrophobic shield that
can even be layered for added depth. Priced at £38, the kit includes a premium applicator pad and a microfibre towel, and enough wax to treat a medium-sized car over 10 times. It’s the perfect way to reward a dedicated home detailer.

Bilt Hamber Double Speed-Wax
After you’ve finished meticulously cleaning your car, it’s important to make sure your hard work doesn’t go to waste. That’s why a quality wax is a vital part of any home-detailing kit - it provides a layer of protection over the paint while also giving an impressive gloss finish. Bilt Hamber’s Double Speed-Wax is an award-winner that’s both water-repellent and detergent-resistant, giving great-looking results that’ll last. It’s better value than paste waxes, which can be expensive, with Double Speed-Wax coming in at just £22.95 for a 250ml tin. An applicator pad and a microfibre cloth are also included.

Rocket TT Lubricant Range
Building on the success of its award-winning Super Lubricant, Rocket TT has expanded its line-up with a suite of specialist sprays and oils tailored for every mechanical niche. Leading the charge is a thicker alternative to the aerosol Super Lubricant, supplied in a 125ml bottle with a spout for precision application. Engineered for long-lasting lubrication and superior corrosion resistance in tight spots, it’s priced at just £5.49.
For more demanding hardware, the new White Lithium Grease (£9.89 for a 400ml can) features a non-drip, high-cling formula specifically designed to protect hinges, bearings and heavy-duty gears. If you require even greater durability, the Multi-Purpose Grease (£7.69 per 100ml tube) utilises advanced friction-reducing additives to significantly outlast conventional greases on
joints and cable terminals.
Rocket TT has also addressed more delicate surfaces with a Silicone Lubricant (£8.79 for a 400ml aerosol). This rubber-friendly, non-staining spray prevents seals and trims from sticking or cracking over time. Finally, the range is rounded out by an Electrical Contact Cleaner (£8.79), which safely strips oxidation and grime from sensitive electronics without leaving a trace of residue. Whether you are performing a simple service or a deep mechanical overhaul, this expanded range ensures you have the exact chemical tool required for a professional finish.
