Just received mine this afternoon. Prepped and applied it to the windshield of a ‘15 F350 Superduty. Extremely simple & easy application and finishing. The only thing that this video neglected to mention was the 4 hour cure time before exposure to moisture(rain, snow, etc.)
UPDATE - Not impressed. Water repellency is VERY disappointing. Water beads up but does not freely run off the glass. At 70mph big beads kid of walk up the windshield. Super grabby stuff. Again, VERY disappointing. It rained all day from Portland to Whidbey Island and I spent the entire time pissed at how the Adam’s “Advanced” product was failing to perform as advertised. The day after that trip I called Adam’s to inquire about what could have gone wrong. I was told to let it flash for 10-15 minutes instead of 1-2 minutes. Did that last night in a 61° garage and let it cure inside for 10 hours. Raining hard this morning and still the same result. This stuff is $35.98 garbage.
A lot of times products like this require a topper. Ik it stinks because of the cost but I had a heck of a time with 303 graphene until I used a topper extreme solutions makes one called topper. Other then that turtle wax is synthetic spray wax also works well to add slickness and even some depth. Good luck
The flash time will vary based on temps and humidity, the higher for either the shorter/less time it needs. Also, it behaves differently on glass than paint before removal, it is very difficult to see the rainbow appear and then dissipate. Sounds like you may have removed it too soon. What prep did you do?
love this stuff. really no need for true glass coating with this since all my customers are maintenance washes I just decon wash and light clay and reapply another coat to rejuvenate. its amazing. one of the few truly great affordable coatings that doesn't necessarily require full blown correction. though that only helps. I recommend that for 1st time application only
Love this product so far. Going on 8 months with this coat and it still has that mirror gloss and beads water like day 1. Though I do use the graphene detail spray from you guys every other wash. I get complaiments constantly from coworkers. Love it!
I have used many bottles of the OG Graphene Ceramic Spray. So stoked that you guys came out with it in the advanced formula. I did three cars with the OG formula so far this week. Gotta get some of this new stuff ordered. You guys are my favorite. Thanks.
I have been using this Graphene polish on my car for over six months and the product does give my car a glass like look and slick finish rain just rolls off as I drive down the road.
I LOVED THIS PRODUCT I just got a brand new car and I added this protection and car looks gorgeous 😍😍😍 and it was super easy to apply it took me about 1 hour to apply and remove it counting the time I took to wash the whole vehicle it kinda feel like you’re applying wax.
Have a questions, just received two bottles of Advanced Graphene Spray(BOGO deal). One of the bottles is a clear liquid, the other is a black liquid, when applied it goes on black. Emailed Adams, and they say this is normal. Why the contrast between two bottles. Should the product be black / staining? Anyone else encounter this?
I applied the advanced spray ceramic on my car and I’m so thrilled with the results I want to use the full GRAPHENE ceramic now. Can I apply that over the spray ceramic or should I just live with the spray coating that’s on the car now?
Hi P D, you could apply the full graphene ceramic coating on top of the advanced spray coating, but it will not bond as well or last as long. We would recommend waiting 6 months or so, as the spray coating begins to wear some, to then do a thorough decontamination wash, prep, and then apply the full graphene ceramic coating 👍
Hi Marc, ceramic spray coating has a very strong smell due to the solvents, similar to ammonia. Many of our products smell great, but spray coating will cause a burning feeling to your nose and eyes and could cause a headache. Once it is atomized into the air with the spray trigger, the scent is not as strong. Our Graphene Glass Coating will hold up longer and be more durable on glass, but the spray coating can be used on glass if you do not have the Graphene Glass Coating.
Can I apply this after I wash my card in cold weather outside. For now I am keeping my car outside. Is there. A temperature recommended or preferred for this application?
I just got mine gunna try for the 1st time ever doing a ceramic coating. But I'm confused, this guy says wipe off after the rainbow fades, but the bottle says allow 1-2 min to dry until u see the rainbow.. So which is it?? Wipe off after the rainbow fades or when it forms?
At my local Canadian Tire there's Adam's Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating, but the word Advanced isn't on the bottle. Are there two versions of this product?
OK so this may be old news but I was having a problem with your spray nozzle for the tire and rubber cleaner not squirting at all After using it a few times and I had plenty of product in the bottle so today I decided Hey what if it's clogged up so I ran it under hot water both the straw and the nozzle and it squirts now so that stuff dries in there if you don't use it for I don't know a week or more so I suggest cleaning it out after every use
Since you spray the cloth, why not just use the 5 year product? I mean, you use an applicator for both, but you have to re-do the spray-on product every year (for an outside-parked car). Is it easier to use? More forgiving? I don't get it?
from what i’ve seen, the formula is less concentrated, meaning it’s a bit cheaper and you don’t have to be AS careful when applying. In my case i’m considering using this product because I don’t have a polishing machine for the prep, and I’m kinda of scared of not applying properly since it will be my first time. I think it is not a great deal to not use a polisher in my case because my car is 6 months old, if the car you are applying this to hasn’t been polished i suggest to ensure the vehicle is polished before application.
Question - should you prep the paint first? meaning, clay, polishing/buffing then apply the ceramic spray? I am new to these things and want to make sure I do this right.
Yes! 1000000% prep the paint first, then use with their prep spray, or just some rubbing alcohol to strip off the wax and polish. Once the paint is bare then you apply this product
@RodrigoRodriguez-ri7wn any imperfections in the paint will be sealed in......so if there is any light scratches they are staying until you polish away the ceramic, and then polish the scratch......it's best if you just polish before applying for the best results. It doesn't need to be perfect, just looking better then before.
Just got a brand new car and full car PPF. I've only driven it 500 or so miles. Would you recommend I decontaminate/clay bar, polish, surface prep and than graphene? Wouldn't the surface prep remove the work done by the polish?
@Mark Erbesfield I always use a strip wash snow foam and shampoo to remove any remnants of an old coating. If I'm trying to replenish an existing coating, I turn to things like Mirror Polishes Touchless foam-on solution, or Gyeon's Wet Coat. All you do is rinse those products off, and dry - simple way to keep your coatings durable.
How many wipe off towels do you need to do a truck? Can you use one for the whole thing? Or will it get too full and just start spreading the coating rather than removing the excess?
Hi there, not necessarily! The spray coating residue doesn't harden and crystallize as much as can happen with the thicker 60ml coating bottles that we offer, but we do recommend soaking the towels after application in a bucket of water with an ounce or so of our Towel & Pad Revitalizer, so that the spray coating doesn't make the towel water repellent. I like to mark my coating towels with a black marker or put a small cut into one corner so that I know it has been used with a coating previously. Then I know to test it carefully on the next vehicle if that vehicle has a delicate clear coat. If you do want to toss them, consider using them for less delicate jobs like exhaust tips, engine bay, etc before throwing them out.
Getting ready to purchase this product but curious the shelf life of the bottle? I have heard that once a ceramic coating is open it needs to be used in 4 months or has to be tossed?
I have a brand new car, with less than 200 miles. Do I need to prep the paint with anything other than a simple wash and dry? OR should I handglaze it before Adams ceramic coating? I purchased your Graphene Complete kit.
same here and after researching the web they say yes,we just don't have to use a compound a simple wash,machine polish and decontamination will do just right.
What do you have to say about Scott HD video with your product only lasting basically 7 days? I was almost hooked into buying your product but now I have my doubts!!!!
I have some Carbon Fiber trim running across the front of my forward most dash, on the doors, and Center console area in my B9 Audi S4 , I was just looking at the scratches that have shown up and was looking to find a product that I could use that would help protect from scratches when I detail my interior, I just ordered this spray. I CANT WAIT to use their scratch remover and hand polish I bought from Adams and then coat my Trim 😃
Depends on the climate. I used it yesterday on a clients car and after the rainbow it would harden quick. I’d then go back over it and another coat and it was forgiving.
You can, but it is not necessary. When layering ceramic coatings the law of diminishing returns applies. They add a UV tracer to make sure the application is full and even.
Hopefully I receive a answer to my question.....If I've washed/clayed/compound/polish/ and waxed my vehicle can I apply your product directly on top of the work I've already done or do I need to "strip" the vehicle
I think I have some high spots, or just plain spots I missed on my windows. Any suggestions on fixing it?? Add another coat like you said and even it out? I thought about taking my mini rotary and taking it to my windows and then re apply the product. Open to suggestions thankyou
Hi there, did you apply our Spray Coating or the Graphene Glass Coating, and how recently was it applied? If you applied the spray coating in the last day or two, you should be able to fix the high spots by reapplying a little more spray coating onto an applicator, spreading it over the affected areas, and then immediately wiping with a bit of pressure. Make sure to flip the towel to a clean side and wipe again to avoid any smears. If it's one of our more durable coating options, or if the high spots have cured for several days, try taking a drop or two of our Brilliant Glaze or white Polish onto a towel or applicator, wiping into the area in left-right and up-down motions, then wipe away the residue with a clean microfiber towel. These will usually remove the high spots without compromising the actual coating layer. Using your mini rotary should be the last option, since it will remove the coating in that area and you would have to reapply. Let us know if you have any other questions!
I am getting the new 2023 bronco soon and I am new to polishing so I do not yet have any polishers. To save money would this be good to use this without polishing where ford at lease at cleans up the car before I bring home. Then the following year I should be able to get the polishers and do a proper prep before applying a ceramic coat. I do want to also get as much shine as possible. Would this be a good choice? Thank you so much for your video.
Why do you need to wait a year to get a $150 polisher if you’re buying a $60k car? Even new, car paint comes from the factory with some blemishes that need to be polished out. It sounds like this is new to you, so I’d suggest paying someone $200 to do it properly and then you can coat it yourself.
@@MoveUpMedia well I should have said it was because of the weather. Looks like we are getting my bronco sometime in January and it usually is pretty cold out. So it might be too cold to do the ceramic coat. I really do want to do the prep I just don’t want to freeze and so no point to buy all the car prep stuff right now.
Not a dumb question at all! You do NOT apply a wax if you are going to use Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating. The coating needs to be applied to the bare paint after machine compounding and polishing it. The coating replaces your wax step.
2-3 years for most of our liquids if stored in a room temperature environment, but it should still be good as long as oxygen and moisture were kept out of the bottle. Make sure there is no crystallization inside of the bottle. You can always test it out on something other than your vehicle first, such as an old appliance, glass, etc.
Hi Larry, our Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating Advanced needs a minimum of 4 hours before it can be exposed to rain or moisture, but 12-24 hours is even better if you can wait that long. The 7 and 9 year non-spray versions do require a full 24 hour cure time though at minimum before they can be exposed to rain or moisture.
I am in AZ and the temps are fairly high. I applied the coating early morning but did not see any rainbow effect. Is that normal? Did I do something wrong?
Hi Ryan, for the spray coating, easiest application would be at room temperature and low humidity, but we have applied out coatings in temperatures as low as 50F. 60-80F would be ideal 👍
Product is solid. I have around a 100 kits imported here in Pakistan. Has been performing exceptionally well. We have all the seasons; summers, winters, autumn, high and low humid weathers. Much worse than Thailand. Runs strong.
Hi, does anyone know how long after application this can be topped with something like a cos spray dressing? I’m looking at the collinite beadmaker ceramic/graphene product as a little gloss/bead enhancer….
Hi Brian, a polish with carnuba would be adding protection to the surface as it corrects it, so the graphene ceramic coating may not bond as well. Surface Prep would weaken the carnuba, but may not completely remove it. We would recommend a dedicated polish with no filler and no protection, like our white finishing Polish, with our white foam pad: adamspolishes.com/products/adam-s-paint-finishing-polish adamspolishes.com/products/adam-s-new-6-white-foam-finishing-pad
If applied on black rubber or plastic trim, does it darken then protect it? Or would I apply something like solution finish, let it dry, then apply the spray?
Hi there, it will darken plastics to a degree, yes; however if the color pigment is heavily faded, you can use our Black Trim Restorer first to dye the plastics, allow it to dry, and then apply the spray coating afterward to lock in the dye for a longer time period.
Can this be used on top of adams ceramic coating (small glass bottle)? I'm trying to keep/maintain the coating for as long as possible and was thinking I could top it off with a spray every 6 months or so.
No, this is a true coating and needs a completely clean and naked surface to properly bond. Applying over a sealant or wax will interfere with that process and lead to inferior results, much less longevity, etc.
I have headlights with clear coat on them I would like to protect them from going bad like my last pair of headlights would this protect the headlights from having a peeling look because of the clear coat coming off I did not protect my last headlights
Hi Steve, our Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating Advanced will certainly help, but I would recommend reapplying it to headlights about twice as often as paint since they experience such high levels of constant heat when the headlights are on. Some aftermarket headlights have much better or much poorer quality than other brands, so it will also depend on the manufacture of the light housing itself and whether the vehicle sits outside every day or if it is garaged. I've had some aftermarket headlights that have lasted for several years with no issues, and others that began to have clear coat failure and peeling after 6 months.
Well my 1st pair went bad probably I don't know like a year or 2 and my car does sit outside all the time I have Anzo headlights because there's not too much you can find for 2013 Hyundai Genesis
Did anybody have used Adams graphene Spray coating on the headliner fabric. I don't want to spend extra cash on another product for headliner fabric. Please provide me with there honest opinion.
From my experience the spray trades ease of application for longevity. About half. Though a good application of the spray should easily last 6-8 months, which is more than enough to justify the price and time. I personally use their graphene detail spray as an upkeep topper between coats. With their regular graphene ceramic, I got about 13 months before I noticed water not beading much, indicating its time for a fresh coat. The fact the spray is about 1/3 the cost made moving to the spray a no-brainer and I've been more than happy with it. As for the amount of coats, 1 is more than enough if its a good even application with proper cure time. Ceramics/Graphenes dont benefit from multiple coats like traditional waxes and carnauba's, at least from my experience anyway. Have been detailing cars for 20+ years now. If you meant how close is it in terms of visuals? The same. Both products have the same amount of gloss and reflection. TLDR In short: Spray = Same visuals but half the longevity of their regular ceramic, at 1/3 the price and a bit easier to apply.
@@junkiexl86 You mentioned using the graphene detail spray as an maintenance topper between coats/washes. Have you tried their Graphene Boost spray or would that be considered overkill and Graphene detail spray a better use?

@@SittingWithDogshow much do you charge to apply it? Just curious
I just ordered some of this today along with the Graphene detail spray. It’s gonna be here on Saturday so you know I’m excited!!

Great stuff, I use it on all my cars. Worth every penny and super easy to do yourself. Great video!
I have polished my car with UltraCut from Carpro, my question is, can I apply Menzerna 3800 before the ceramic spray coating advanced?
Have a questions, just received two bottles of Advanced Graphene Spray(BOGO deal). One of the bottles is a clear liquid, the other is a black liquid, when applied it goes on black. Emailed Adams, and they say this is normal. Why the contrast between two bottles. Should the product be black / staining? Anyone else encounter this?
hey!! can you use this as a top coat???
btw love the R8
Will mixing this ceramic spray with the 60ml bottle of advanced formula increase the longevity of this spray coating? Just curious
Can I reuse the towels used on those spray coat , I got the kit recently but towels are to expensive to drop
Should a claybay be used before applying the coating?
Yes depending on last wash
Ordered this and all the prep stuff. I can't wait to get it applied to our cars. Hopefully next weekend.

Hello detailing community Happy New Year. Is this product ok to use under the sun? I'm a mobile detailer and I do not have a garage.
muliple coats better? can be done immediatly or wait time? tks
Great video, thanks!
Can you advise on how/when to use ceramic boost?
Can you use this outside if you don't have a garage?
Can I apply this after I wash my card in cold weather outside. For now I am keeping my car outside. Is there. A temperature recommended or preferred for this application?
For clarification when do I level off the applied graphene coating…when it rainbows or when the rainbow effect fades.
I just got mine gunna try for the 1st time ever doing a ceramic coating.
But I'm confused, this guy says wipe off after the rainbow fades, but the bottle says allow 1-2 min to dry until u see the rainbow..

A little too late here but you’re supposed to wipe it as soon as you see that rainbow.
@possiblepresent3724 OK yeah some of it I waited until after the rainbow faded?? Like thought that's when it was done sticking to the paint?
How long does this coating last?
Would it be redundant to use Adam’s Guard & Gloss and then use the Graphene Detail Spray after?
At my local Canadian Tire there's Adam's Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating, but the word Advanced isn't on the bottle. Are there two versions of this product?

It doesn't need to be perfect, just looking better then before.
I’m going to use this this weekend but there is a lot of pollen in my area should I wash then use a clay bar or just wash and use it thanks
This is for already ceramic coated vehicles or what? Im confused
Just got a brand new car and full car PPF. I've only driven it 500 or so miles. Would you recommend I decontaminate/clay bar, polish, surface prep and than graphene? Wouldn't the surface prep remove the work done by the polish?
Just clay bared and used this product yesterday. My paint looks amazing!
I did my car yesterday as well. It looks like it just came off the showroom floor
Can I put ppf over this or do I need to strip the ceramic off ?
So if you have to wait for the rainbowing to disappear, why not coat the entire vehicle instead of sections? ty
What car wash should you use before you do this? I have a wash and wax would that be fine or does it need to be a strip wash?
Would surface prep ge a good lubricant for a clay bar?
Absolutely Noooo! Prepare is water+Isopropanole mix. For clay use specific lubricant or detail spray if it’s allowed (see manual of spray)
You never mentioned the CURE time- is it at least 7 days (same as the liquid bottle coating)?!
Back of the bottle says 4 hours once wiped. I went with that.
I have a ZR2 with a Matte Black plastic scoop on the hood, can I apply this Ceramic to that part?
Where can I get the applicator from? I bought this but it did not have an applicator with it.
Would you use a carnauba wax over the top of this product
Should you dispose of the towels used to remove/level the coating, or can they be effectively washed and reused?
Nope. When using ceramic or graphing get rid of em.
Can you apply this over other Ceramic coatings that have been previously applied?

Can I use this on the inside of my car? Dash, door panels and seats?
I’m sure it’s a great product, but can’t be sure because I ordered it but didn’t get a spray nozzle.
Can this be a topper?
Do you need to toss the towels after using them like you do with a standard ceramic?

No sense- it won’t last long. It can be used over advanced coating(not spray) or over clean car lack.

If you applied the spray coating in the last day or two, you should be able to fix the high spots by reapplying a little more spray coating onto an applicator, spreading it over the affected areas, and then immediately wiping with a bit of pressure. Make sure to flip the towel to a clean side and wipe again to avoid any smears. If it's one of our more durable coating options, or if the high spots have cured for several days, try taking a drop or two of our Brilliant Glaze or white Polish onto a towel or applicator, wiping into the area in left-right and up-down motions, then wipe away the residue with a clean microfiber towel. These will usually remove the high spots without compromising the actual coating layer. Using your mini rotary should be the last option, since it will remove the coating in that area and you would have to reapply. Let us know if you have any other questions!
Ok. One question. Gyeon can coat or adams? What is better?
can you use this on tires (rubber) like a dressing?
Can you apply this on Matte ppf?
My car was ceramic coated 2 years ago. Can I apply this on my car ?
Just did mine today but I forgot to surface prep one area and just use the coating should I surface prep it again than reapply the coating?
I am getting the new 2023 bronco soon and I am new to polishing so I do not yet have any polishers. To save money would this be good to use this without polishing where ford at lease at cleans up the car before I bring home. Then the following year I should be able to get the polishers and do a proper prep before applying a ceramic coat. I do want to also get as much shine as possible. Would this be a good choice? Thank you so much for your video.
Why do you need to wait a year to get a $150 polisher if you’re buying a $60k car? Even new, car paint comes from the factory with some blemishes that need to be polished out. It sounds like this is new to you, so I’d suggest paying someone $200 to do it properly and then you can coat it yourself.
@@MoveUpMedia well I should have said it was because of the weather. Looks like we are getting my bronco sometime in January and it usually is pretty cold out. So it might be too cold to do the ceramic coat. I really do want to do the prep I just don’t want to freeze and so no point to buy all the car prep stuff right now.
Dumb question from someone who is learning.
After buffing the car, would I apply wax and then this stuff or just apply this after buffing?
Not a dumb question at all! You do NOT apply a wax if you are going to use Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating. The coating needs to be applied to the bare paint after machine compounding and polishing it. The coating replaces your wax step.
What is the shelf life for the original? I found a kit from 2020 in my closet.
Assuming it's still good, logtivity is likely less?
2-3 years for most of our liquids if stored in a room temperature environment, but it should still be good as long as oxygen and moisture were kept out of the bottle. Make sure there is no crystallization inside of the bottle. You can always test it out on something other than your vehicle first, such as an old appliance, glass, etc.
@@AdamsPolishes used it last night. Wow I really like that stuff and the graphene detail spray
Can you please advise how long cure time before we can drive it out in the rain? 24hours?
Hi Larry, our Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating Advanced needs a minimum of 4 hours before it can be exposed to rain or moisture, but 12-24 hours is even better if you can wait that long. The 7 and 9 year non-spray versions do require a full 24 hour cure time though at minimum before they can be exposed to rain or moisture.
I am in AZ and the temps are fairly high. I applied the coating early morning but did not see any rainbow effect. Is that normal? Did I do something wrong?
Can i use this product over an old ceramic coating? After i do strip wash and clay bar?
Yes. That would be called a coating topper.
What's the best temperature to apply Adams?
Hi Ryan, for the spray coating, easiest application would be at room temperature and low humidity, but we have applied out coatings in temperatures as low as 50F. 60-80F would be ideal 👍
@@AdamsPolishes tyvm
Do you have to wait for the whole area to flash before wiping it off? It do you wipe off when you see most of it flash?
I'd imagine you'd want an even flash otherwise you'd wipe off non-flashed areas prematurely
From Thailand, I bought this product and study how to apply. Here is a land of high temp and humidity. Any suggestion for this product?
Product is solid. I have around a 100 kits imported here in Pakistan. Has been performing exceptionally well. We have all the seasons; summers, winters, autumn, high and low humid weathers. Much worse than Thailand. Runs strong.
@@moinj4846 thank you
In higher temps and humidity it will cure faster, so check it often
@@chrisinco5920 thanks
So each time you apply spray 4-5 sprays onto applicator?
Is this stuff easier to use than ceramics?
Hi, does anyone know how long after application this can be topped with something like a cos spray dressing? I’m looking at the collinite beadmaker ceramic/graphene product as a little gloss/bead enhancer….
What do I use for polish with my buffer? If I use a polish with carnuba then surface prep would that work?
Hi Brian, a polish with carnuba would be adding protection to the surface as it corrects it, so the graphene ceramic coating may not bond as well. Surface Prep would weaken the carnuba, but may not completely remove it. We would recommend a dedicated polish with no filler and no protection, like our white finishing Polish, with our white foam pad:

If applied on black rubber or plastic trim, does it darken then protect it?
Or would I apply something like solution finish, let it dry, then apply the spray?
Hi there, it will darken plastics to a degree, yes; however if the color pigment is heavily faded, you can use our Black Trim Restorer first to dye the plastics, allow it to dry, and then apply the spray coating afterward to lock in the dye for a longer time period.
Can this be used on top of adams ceramic coating (small glass bottle)? I'm trying to keep/maintain the coating for as long as possible and was thinking I could top it off with a spray every 6 months or so.
Yes you can)
Can I use this on top of AvalonKing Cermic coating as a booster spray?
Could this be a topper for the Adams Graphene Ceramic Coating Advanced? Or I need to pick only one and don’t apply the other?
I wouldn't. For upkeep between coatings, I use thier graphene detial spray.
Can I apply over a spray sealant as a topper?
No, this is a true coating and needs a completely clean and naked surface to properly bond. Applying over a sealant or wax will interfere with that process and lead to inferior results, much less longevity, etc.
I have headlights with clear coat on them I would like to protect them from going bad like my last pair of headlights would this protect the headlights from having a peeling look because of the clear coat coming off I did not protect my last headlights
Hi Steve, our Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating Advanced will certainly help, but I would recommend reapplying it to headlights about twice as often as paint since they experience such high levels of constant heat when the headlights are on. Some aftermarket headlights have much better or much poorer quality than other brands, so it will also depend on the manufacture of the light housing itself and whether the vehicle sits outside every day or if it is garaged. I've had some aftermarket headlights that have lasted for several years with no issues, and others that began to have clear coat failure and peeling after 6 months.
Well my 1st pair went bad probably I don't know like a year or 2 and my car does sit outside all the time I have Anzo headlights because there's not too much you can find for 2013 Hyundai Genesis
Did anybody have used Adams graphene Spray coating on the headliner fabric. I don't want to spend extra cash on another product for headliner fabric. Please provide me with there honest opinion.
Does it work on wheels??
Can you use this after using a compound polish?
Yes, then prep with low IPA or adams prep, then apply
How much I can charge for just a spray graphene ceramic
Can this be applied over already ceramic coated cars?
I wanna know also.
How close is it to a conventional ceramic, how many coats should be applied?
From my experience the spray trades ease of application for longevity. About half. Though a good application of the spray should easily last 6-8 months, which is more than enough to justify the price and time. I personally use their graphene detail spray as an upkeep topper between coats. With their regular graphene ceramic, I got about 13 months before I noticed water not beading much, indicating its time for a fresh coat. The fact the spray is about 1/3 the cost made moving to the spray a no-brainer and I've been more than happy with it.
As for the amount of coats, 1 is more than enough if its a good even application with proper cure time. Ceramics/Graphenes dont benefit from multiple coats like traditional waxes and carnauba's, at least from my experience anyway. Have been detailing cars for 20+ years now. If you meant how close is it in terms of visuals? The same. Both products have the same amount of gloss and reflection.
TLDR In short:
Spray = Same visuals but half the longevity of their regular ceramic, at 1/3 the price and a bit easier to apply.
@@junkiexl86 You mentioned using the graphene detail spray as an maintenance topper between coats/washes. Have you tried their Graphene Boost spray or would that be considered overkill and Graphene detail spray a better use?
