Thank you for the review! We did want to note that our product does not contain any dyes and the black color comes from the Graphene-Oxide itself. We have a FAQ video that shows some of this process if you would like us to link to it here but don't want to spam your channel without asking. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to reach out! Thanks again!
I love your products. Started off with your interior protectant and loved it, now I swear by your Graphene spray, I've put it on all of my vehicles and I recommend it to everyone now!! Keep up the great work producing wonderful products
Can 303 be layered multiple times? What’s the max amount of costs? Can it be applied over another ceramic paste wax or can a ceramic paste wax be applied on top of 303? Thanks
@@BW-kv9wj Yes! 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating can be layered up to 3 times. We always recommend using the longest durability product as the base though.
@@BW-kv9wj If you want to, yes. However one should suffice for most uses. Check the durability of your other options. The one with the longest durability should always be the base coating, then you can layer on top of that. Graphene Nano Spray Coating can last up to 12 months.
There isn’t a better product reviewer and tester I’ve ever seen, in any industry, than Sandro. I’m informed, enlightened, and inspired to work at that level of effort and consideration. Great video.
I've had great success with the Adams Graphene spray. For me, it produced rainbow slicks almost instantly. It also has UV technology built in if you want to use a UV light to see where it's been applied.
I know this test review is a little bit older now but it was so well done and detailed. Sandro is so well spoken and and professional I subscribed right away to this channel!
I've used many different Graphene coatings and have been extremely happy with 303. It is my number one choice, especially when using their Detailer coating spray on top. The Detailer Spray adds extra slickness and extends the life of the Graphene Coating. The Detailer really adds shine.
Great video. I'm an Adams loyalist.. I've used both 303 and Adams original ceramic coating. Adam's was so hard to remove and the water spotting after a rain storm was atrocious. I have used 303 nano coating on my Rav4. Unbelievably easy to use and the hydrophobic properties were amazing!
For me Adams Advanced graphene spray does a better job than original formula. It's slicker and have more darkening/jeting effect with filling abilities.
Excellent review, Sandro. I think it's great that you're filming some of these videos at your home, which is absolutely beautiful. Cheers and have a good week my friend.
Thank you for this video, and all your great videos. I’m a massive Adam’s fan though am aware it’s because of my bias due to it being my first foray into better than basic car care products. Great to see how it compares.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I used the OG formula until the Advanced was released. I have found a decent amount of longevity with both, longer on the Advanced of course.
A bit OT, my wife of all people bought me 303 Interior Detailer. I was a bit skeptical at first, even though 303 has been around for ages selling quality products. Used it. Over and over. It's fantastic on screens!
I personally have been doing some testing with the 303, and I have to say this is one amazing coating. I live in an environment where it is 30 to 35 degrees Celsius and it rains quite a bit. I put the coating on about a year ago and I did 3 washes. 2 of the washes were just to get the dirt off and make it look presentable, the third wash I reapplied the 303 to only the rear quarter panels and the lower portion of the rear doors. The rest of the car was left alone, just washed. Just recently I washed the car and observed the hydrophobic behavior and it looks like it has been through a lot but it was still beading and in some areas it was slow to sheet off. I used carpro reset as the soap. This test was not very accurate and there were a lot of factors but the coating survived for about a year and still holding. This coating is not really good for being put on headlights. It breaks down real quick and lasts about 2 weeks. It is a very good glass coating. It will wear off on the windshield but that is to be expected. The 303 preformed great in my opinion and it is a great product for cost and how much product you get.
I have had this exact same experience. I put it on a track built Miata and it works extremely well. Rain washes the car for me most of the time. I also went crazy and put several coatings (6-7) of it so I just don't have to worry about the coating at all anymore
Great review there Sandro. Thanks mate. Guess it just goes to show that playing "follow the brand" doesn't always mean you get the results. I remember when Armorshield was slagged off as a snake oil Facebook scam in the beginning. Also a British brand called Garage Therapy got the same treatment too - until a couple of detailers much like you got hold of them and tested them properly!
I appreciated the detail you put, the reflections of the products dedicated to their columns on the test panel! 👍 👍 👍. Regarding adam's graphene ceramic spray coating, for my part I have always considered it more like a "ceramic boost", a ceramic topper! Rather than a true standalone ceramic coating. I'm not saying it's a bad product, but it excels more as a topper or to boost or reboost an existing ceramic. This is only my personal opinion!
Hi Sandro, thank you, thank you, thank you, I thought it was me & Id screwed up, I've had identical experience with both Adams Graphene & the Adams Graphene Advanced.Spray Coatings (both in the last month on our own vehicles) The expected rainbow / petrol on water effect never happened in a garage at 20C / 55% Humidity. According to Adams tutorials I expected the rainbow to appear at about 3 minutes with the colour going at 5 ( time to level/buff to finish) after 10 minutes nothing & thought it must be the colour of my paint thats hiding it so prepared myself for a very sticky removal, I need not have worried, it felt as though Id wiped over with a damp cloth. Anticipating failure the panels were polished the following morning & I broke out another bottle of Pure. Knee jerk reaction, I now have another 2 expensive bottles of spray graphene coatings that will be used post wash for alloys. Not amused, but thanks for putting my mind at rest. ( had deployed 303 shortly after release, one month & 3 washes later, nothing, flat water behaviour, but my alloys look wicked :-) Take care fella !!
Great video as always I think I would spend a little more with the exception of Adam's graphene I would go for tried and tested Sio2 like carpro Plus it will last longer and look better with the right prep Keep them coming In Sandro we trust
Well done Sandro Keep up the great work mate, your the best AU U tube car detailing channel full stop, even better than so many US based channels, just wondering if you can do the heat test as well and a wash test, ie: heat the panel after curing time and heat a area, with heat gun to get the temp up to say around 45 c degrees and then wash it to see if it effects it?
I have the Adam’s Advanced Graphene spray coating (the legit glass bottle too) I use this for jams/plastic interior trim. Works great. I can’t speak on this standard ceramic spray but the Advanced is great. Easy to use. The advanced ( at least the bottle I have) doesn’t have a strong smell at all)
I'm suprised at the 303 application results. I found it extremely "grabby" when trying to wipe it post flash. It also took a fair bit longer to flash and seemed less obvious when it finally did...in my experience.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Interestingly enough after my experience I went searching for other opinions and a few other folks had similar experiences. Not sure if perhaps the formula has been altered somewhat or climate differences are to blame.
can you test this Adam's spray directly against its "advanced" spray coating which has even more ceramic solids in it . ive used it and it still works on a few cars after a year and they aren't garage kept just cleaned every 3 to 4 weeks. the advanced graphene spray also flashed faster and turned more rainbow than that one you used. would be interesting to find out if it is that much better than their regular graphene speay
Hey Sandro! Awesome review, thnx AGAIN for your valued honest info. Quick question: can I use 303 as a top layer over a ceramic coating or, for that matter, a spray ceramic coating? Always appreciated! 👍🏼
For the sake of your nose and sense of smell - when you want to smell anything bring about 15cm from your face or further and then wave your hand to bring the scent to your nose instead. This way to keep the concentration of the chemical low and spare you possible injury.
Cheers Sandro. I've seen Glassparency Graphene Spray Coating make it past 12 months in a couple of credible real world tests but not many reviews out there besides - would be great to know what you make of it :)
Very helpful channel... Since I'm on well water and I get water spots after my car wash should I be using one of these products to help my Carnauba wax last longer? I know I need to purchase something as I just am about to finish a full detail heavy cut medium cut polish enhancing glass and then carnanuba wax.
You can use them over a sealant, but you’ll probably find that you’ll achieve a better long term result when they are applied to well prepared bare paint.
Good evening, does 303 Graphene have curing time? And how long is the real duration in normal conditions of daily use with environmental pollution and washing the vehicle every 2 weeks? Greetings from Oaxaca Mexico, excellent videos on your channel. 🤜🤛
I’d say a few days up to a week to fully cure depending on the climate, but after 12-24hrs it should be cured enough to use the vehicle as normal. Durability is just going to be different for everyone but I think 6mths+ is certainly realistic.
No, unless it’s a higher concentration of a true hardening coating, I’ll reuse the cloths. It’s just important to note that over time the cloths will become hydrophobic so the reuse is limited.
Your price in Australia are very similar to the ones in Canada.

good evening; I intend to use SONAX Shine Shampoo and CARPRO RESET Shampoo for daily washing after applying 303; both shampoos are neutral PH; Do you recommend any graphene-reinforcing product for maintenance? and thus be able to achieve the 12 months of protection?, greetings from oaxaca mexico.
You don’t have to use a graphene content topper to maintain it through you could, you could even use 303 Spray and Rinse from time to time as it’s quite hydrophobic and seems to work well with graphene/ceramic coatings.
Hi Sandro is the 303 ok to use on an already ceramic coated car? Will it enhance the already ceramic coated vehicle or will it break the coating down. How do I apply this to an already ceramic coated vehicle can I just wash the car then apply it? I had a very poor ceramic coating job done on my vehicle as you know Sandro I'm just looking for a product to help fix the terrible work. I have a pesky Murray Magpie that keeps jumping all over my vehicle leaving scratches everywhere. I keep shooing it off but he comes back I think he likes his reflection or something. I thought ceramic coatings were supposed to be scratch resistant? Not mine even a light bird like that has left scratches everywhere. Just proves the quality of the product used. Jeremy Downunder
I had a similar experience with magpies a few years back, really frustrating and unfortunately no,ceramics won’t tend to resist bird claws, cat or dogs scuffing the finish. 303 Graphene seems to bond extremely well to most surfaces so I would expect a nice deep clean followed by an IPA wipe could do fine as prep before applying it and if your coating is really on the way you should see a decent improvement in gloss and hydrophobicity.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks Sandro I was one of the ones asking about the 303 thank you so much for a great review Sandro. I'll buy you a coffee haha
HI Sandro how often can I apply this 303 to my car? Can I use it 2 or 3 times in a short period like apply it once then next wash again then the next wash will this give it a better finish do you think? Thanks Sandro Jeremy Downunder
There’s really no rules in how often you can apply it, if you’re will, then I think you can certainly apply it that often, it’s probably more that you may not see as much benefit with those additional layers in a short period but you should still see an improvement.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks Sandro I had an unfortunate incident last Thursday evening some kids threw rocks at my car as I was driving down the road damaging my car. I caught them the parents said they will pay but now they won't answer my calls. 6 of them threw rocks one hit my car. I have to have it fixed its dented my panel just below back left hand rear pillar. I'm so pissed off Police couldn't care didn't attend I had to go to police station. Thanks so much for your advice I'm devastated. One of the parents is Aboriginal the Aussie mother said she will pay the Aboriginal woman didn't say anything. Both their kids threw rocks. Jeremy Downunder
I can’t say I’ve tried any in particular, but honestly my guess is they are still heavily SiO2 or ceramic based like most graphene products in general so I wouldn’t let the graphene content sway me much either way.
It’s still not obvious that car paint protection containing a small graphene content are better or worse in terms of performance compared to those that don’t have this added graphene. At least for now I’ve yet to see that the graphene addition has proven to be superior, but it’s still early days for graphene and this could certainly change.
"Graphene" is the biggest con in recent times within the detailing industry, right up there with "SiO2". It's not possible to make a water based sealant, or solvent based coating using Graphene yet with the current technology available. 303 themselves literally show how they make the product, and they simply put a teaspoon of graphite powder into a water based silicone emulsion. It's the same with "Graphene" coatings.
And what happens with these phony graphene coatings is the coating actually comes off in chunks over time. You have to get graphene down to the atom level for it tow work All this stuff just has graphene dumped in the bottle You want something that really last Use Fusso soft 99 It is the real deal Won’t add gloss but it will last a year for sure One can will last the lifetime of the car Just make sure to put it on thin The thinner the better. And don’t use it on plastic or headlights.
Excellent review and video as always! It's a real treat to sit down and watch these thorough tests and listen to someone with as much knowledge as you Sandro. It's interesting to see how different products react to layering. I tried layering NV Wheel and it just beaded and rejected itself no matter when I tried to apply it when I was testing. I've layered UK3.0 before and it really had no more longevity in the real world in my experience. Maybe a 5% improvement at best. It did add more "Gloss" to the eye but I never checked it with a gloss meter. What are your experiences/opinion on layering NV Nova Pro? Does it add any substantial longevity having 2 layers installed?
Glad you enjoyed it mate. You’re always moving onto trickier territory when laying because timing is more difficult and so varied with different products and environments. My experience with CQuartz coatings has shown quite a substantial improvement with layering but I guess I’d also say more with CQuartz Professional and Finest Reserve. I don’t feel it’s necessary to layer Nova Pro and I also feel the benefit isn’t as great as it is with the pro CQuartz coatings because a standalone layer is still extremely good, but I’ve certainly seen improvements in looks, and longevity with layering it.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks for the info. I'll have to give layering uk3.0 another go. I could've had an off result. Thanks for the advice on just doing 1 layer for NV Nova Pro. I'm guessing it's the same with NV Nova EVO? If you ever have the time and extra product in a bottle, a test comparison of NV Nova Pro vs Nova EVO vs Pro Cquartz coatings would be pretty cool.
Evo is really a single layer coat where it’s been designed all around that, whereas Pro gives you the option to benefit more from additional layers, though as mentioned a single layer is still quite impressive. My pleasure mate and I’m sure I’ll have more on Nv and CQuartz coatings down the track.
Interesting I was going to buy 303 yet got Mothers CMX instead, STINKS! like makes you want to vomit (so interesting to hear your thoughts on scent lol) anyways, I find it lasts a month or so then breaks down into a weird greasy black looking dirt that feels oily... not great...
Protection applied to clear plastics (especially headlights) never lasts as long as it does on car paint, so I’d be applying it every month or two if I want to avoid UV damage- or at least so it down. It also tends to help to layer your first application maybe even 3 layers initially.
Thanks! I ended up buying 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating. It's easy to apply, and it's relatively cheap. I just want it for the headlights (yellowing) and windows (to make ice/snow easier to take off). I instantly make headlights clear again with acetone nail polish remover in ONE pass. Don't make any more passes or it gets foggy again.
Sure, it’s honestly virtually impossible to just look at a wax, sealant, ceramic or graphene coating and distinguish them by looks alone, these and really most paint protection products will work and look just fine on a tractor.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I guess it's worth it to live in beautiful Australia ! Thanks for the comparisons I think I'll buy some of the 303 Graphene product.
I think these companies reformulate products to a weaker version. I had the adams when it first game out. it flashed alot quicker and the 2nd bottle i bought. The 1st bottle of application lasted about 11 months on a outside vehicle
Some thoughts. First, great job. Second....talking about the smell is fine but should be done in the quickest way and only once. It reminds me of health drinks/powders I'd be shopping for. The ones that have pea protein, chlorophyl, chia seeds etc. All I care about is the quality of the ingredients aka Do they work? People talk about the taste in comments and reviews. Thats fine...but wait...no its not. These companies actually do something called listen to their customers. If enough people complained about the taste...that would move up the priority ladder and quality would suffer. These car coatings. Do you think these companies know they have strong solvent smells? So therefore to make it smell better, they feel the quality would suffer! Thats not even debatable in my mind. So...if people talk about the smell too much....theyre screwing themselves.

I thought ceramic coatings were supposed to be scratch resistant? Not mine even a light bird like that has left scratches everywhere. Just proves the quality of the product used. Jeremy Downunder
I had a similar experience with magpies a few years back, really frustrating and unfortunately no,ceramics won’t tend to resist bird claws, cat or dogs scuffing the finish.
303 Graphene seems to bond extremely well to most surfaces so I would expect a nice deep clean followed by an IPA wipe could do fine as prep before applying it and if your coating is really on the way you should see a decent improvement in gloss and hydrophobicity.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks Sandro I was one of the ones asking about the 303 thank you so much for a great review Sandro. I'll buy you a coffee haha
HI Sandro how often can I apply this 303 to my car? Can I use it 2 or 3 times in a short period like apply it once then next wash again then the next wash will this give it a better finish do you think? Thanks Sandro Jeremy Downunder
There’s really no rules in how often you can apply it, if you’re will, then I think you can certainly apply it that often, it’s probably more that you may not see as much benefit with those additional layers in a short period but you should still see an improvement.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks Sandro I had an unfortunate incident last Thursday evening some kids threw rocks at my car as I was driving down the road damaging my car. I caught them the parents said they will pay but now they won't answer my calls. 6 of them threw rocks one hit my car. I have to have it fixed its dented my panel just below back left hand rear pillar. I'm so pissed off Police couldn't care didn't attend I had to go to police station. Thanks so much for your advice I'm devastated. One of the parents is Aboriginal the Aussie mother said she will pay the Aboriginal woman didn't say anything. Both their kids threw rocks.

What do you think about graphene quick detailers and which one to use?
I can’t say I’ve tried any in particular, but honestly my guess is they are still heavily SiO2 or ceramic based like most graphene products in general so I wouldn’t let the graphene content sway me much either way.
Does graphene shine and protect better than ceramic, regardless of length?
It’s still not obvious that car paint protection containing a small graphene content are better or worse in terms of performance compared to those that don’t have this added graphene. At least for now I’ve yet to see that the graphene addition has proven to be superior, but it’s still early days for graphene and this could certainly change.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing cool thanks for the reply. I guess I’ll continue to use meguiars hybrid ceramic spray, because of the ease of use.
How to buy it in India ?
"Graphene" is the biggest con in recent times within the detailing industry, right up there with "SiO2". It's not possible to make a water based sealant, or solvent based coating using Graphene yet with the current technology available. 303 themselves literally show how they make the product, and they simply put a teaspoon of graphite powder into a water based silicone emulsion. It's the same with "Graphene" coatings.
And what happens with these phony graphene coatings is the coating actually comes off in chunks over time.
You have to get graphene down to the atom level for it tow work
All this stuff just has graphene dumped in the bottle
You want something that really last
Use Fusso soft 99
It is the real deal
Won’t add gloss but it will last a year for sure
One can will last the lifetime of the car
Just make sure to put it on thin
The thinner the better.
And don’t use it on plastic or headlights.
Definitely interesting! Never heard of Renegade, are they Australian?
No, I think it may be the USA
Made in Anaheim California
Excellent review and video as always! It's a real treat to sit down and watch these thorough tests and listen to someone with as much knowledge as you Sandro.
It's interesting to see how different products react to layering. I tried layering NV Wheel and it just beaded and rejected itself no matter when I tried to apply it when I was testing. I've layered UK3.0 before and it really had no more longevity in the real world in my experience. Maybe a 5% improvement at best. It did add more "Gloss" to the eye but I never checked it with a gloss meter.
What are your experiences/opinion on layering NV Nova Pro? Does it add any substantial longevity having 2 layers installed?
Glad you enjoyed it mate.
You’re always moving onto trickier territory when laying because timing is more difficult and so varied with different products and environments. My experience with CQuartz coatings has shown quite a substantial improvement with layering but I guess I’d also say more with CQuartz Professional and Finest Reserve. I don’t feel it’s necessary to layer Nova Pro and I also feel the benefit isn’t as great as it is with the pro CQuartz coatings because a standalone layer is still extremely good, but I’ve certainly seen improvements in looks, and longevity with layering it.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks for the info. I'll have to give layering uk3.0 another go. I could've had an off result.
Thanks for the advice on just doing 1 layer for NV Nova Pro. I'm guessing it's the same with NV Nova EVO?
If you ever have the time and extra product in a bottle, a test comparison of NV Nova Pro vs Nova EVO vs Pro Cquartz coatings would be pretty cool.
Evo is really a single layer coat where it’s been designed all around that, whereas Pro gives you the option to benefit more from additional layers, though as mentioned a single layer is still quite impressive. My pleasure mate and I’m sure I’ll have more on Nv and CQuartz coatings down the track.
Interesting I was going to buy 303 yet got Mothers CMX instead, STINKS! like makes you want to vomit (so interesting to hear your thoughts on scent lol) anyways, I find it lasts a month or so then breaks down into a weird greasy black looking dirt that feels oily... not great...
Great review! Does 303 have uv protection??
Yes it contains UV inhibitors
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thank you. How long does it take plastic headlight covers always in the sun to get dim and yellow again?
Protection applied to clear plastics (especially headlights) never lasts as long as it does on car paint, so I’d be applying it every month or two if I want to avoid UV damage- or at least so it down. It also tends to help to layer your first application maybe even 3 layers initially.
Thanks! I ended up buying 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating. It's easy to apply, and it's relatively cheap. I just want it for the headlights (yellowing) and windows (to make ice/snow easier to take off). I instantly make headlights clear again with acetone nail polish remover in ONE pass. Don't make any more passes or it gets foggy again.
What kind of markers do you use?
They’re wax/chalk pens, I got the new one from the local supermarket, it seems ok.
Would a graphene coating look ok on a tractor?
Sure, it’s honestly virtually impossible to just look at a wax, sealant, ceramic or graphene coating and distinguish them by looks alone, these and really most paint protection products will work and look just fine on a tractor.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing do you know if I could put a sealant on top of it to make it more durable?
Yes you can.
I’m still using Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic Wax. Lol
Nothing wrong with that!
🤣🤣🤣 yep don't do that with Adam's I thought I was going to pass out
Sandro the reflection of the ceiling on the panel makes it very hard to actually see what you're talking about or what is going on
😅 Had you considered that you didn't need a second layer right away?
Wow, 50 bucks in Oz. 18 bucks in US. (303)
We tend to pay a lot more than the US for all detailing products here, unfortunately!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I guess it's worth it to live in beautiful Australia ! Thanks for the comparisons I think I'll buy some of the 303 Graphene product.
The product is dark for marketing purposes only! The blender has previously stated this fact already.
Thanks for sharing that, good to know
2nd
🥈
Always first in my book! 😂🤘
I think these companies reformulate products to a weaker version. I had the adams when it first game out. it flashed alot quicker and the 2nd bottle i bought. The 1st bottle of application lasted about 11 months on a outside vehicle
Thanks for sharing that mate, sounds like you had a couple of different experiences with it.
first
🥇
Adam’s products have harsh smells. I bought their iron remover and damn it was terrible.
Some thoughts.
First, great job.
Second....talking about the smell is fine but should be done in the quickest way and only once.
It reminds me of health drinks/powders I'd be shopping for.
The ones that have pea protein, chlorophyl, chia seeds etc.
All I care about is the quality of the ingredients aka Do they work?
People talk about the taste in comments and reviews.
Thats fine...but wait...no its not.
These companies actually do something called listen to their customers.
If enough people complained about the taste...that would move up the priority ladder and quality would suffer.
These car coatings. Do you think these companies know they have strong solvent smells?
So therefore to make it smell better, they feel the quality would suffer!
Thats not even debatable in my mind.
So...if people talk about the smell too much....theyre screwing themselves.
303 Is ok but tacky to remove.
No paint correction was done. Bad test
so you just didn't hear anything he said about why he didn't polish huh
I’m glad i didn’t bought Adams
respect i subscribed can we email you for further questions! and i will get you a coffee!
Absolutely, if you go to the about page of this channel my email address is there
