Pan, love that you do the cleaning in real time with no edits. It goes a long way to show everyone nothing is doctored in any form to make something look better or worse as the haters claim you do. Keep up the great work!
Thanks. We don't have time for haters on this channel. There's a reason why my channel is one of the biggest car detailing channels on TH-cam as we're on our way to 1 million subscribers, and have surpassed 105 million views: my audience trusts me and they know how passionate I am about car detailing, and I love sharing my knowledge and passion with my viewers.
But like anything in life, it's impossible to please everyone, plus there are always people jealous of one's success. Those people should spend less time trolling the internet, and more time working harder on their own life and trying to improve themselves instead of hating on others. ;)
@@PanTheOrganizer Wholeheartedly agreed! I've been a long time viewer for years now and happy to see the growth.
@@soapa4279 wow! Well said!! I couldn't agree more.
Thank you for your support! :) How did you discover my channel by the way? And what's your favourite video on my channel so far?
@@PanTheOrganizer To be honest I think I accidentally came across your channel one day years ago and found the content extremely interesting. You can see the true Passion .As far as my favorite video, probably with the polishers themselves also coating videos, and of course the best products for the year.
Thanks for the update Pan! I think this is a great video because people would assume why they’re ceramic coating isn’t working. A simple clean with stronger chemicals is all you need to reactivate the hydrophobic properties.
Correct, assuming that the coating is still within its working lifespan and in good condition.
Incredible performance after 14 months. I’ve used the Spay version of this Advanced Coating (2 coats) and is performing flawlessly after 6 months. Topped with Phoenix EOD Titan.
Thanks for sharing your real world experience with the spray version! Even the regular spray did quite well in my real world durability mega test last year.
@@PanTheOrganizer I can do at least 4 cars with one bottle, but after the bottle was opened I did the fourth car six months later, it was much easier to wipe off the 4th car. I’m thinking it’s not going to last as long?
Thanks for this update, Pan! Came at a great time as I'm gearing up to apply this coating to my car. Exciting to see how well it's doing after 14 months.
Glad it was helpful!
Didn't expect those results, very impressed with the coating. Thank you for the update video.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the update Pan. I heard that the Adams Graphene Coating in the Black and Gold bottle (rather than the lighter Black and Silver bottle) like you show here is a very good coating. I like when real world updates are done to show the actual effectiveness of products after being in normal day to day driving conditions in all weather, especially up there in Canada where you get those brutal winters. There is probably no better test bed than Canada to test real world effectiveness of any type of wax, sealant, or coating due to the various driving conditions you experience up there. No manufacturer will tell you any of the "cons" per se of their product, they only give you what they think is the good aspects of the product due to wanting to make all their coin on the product! I think it goes a long long way when you show real, live, normal conditions that all of us experience when driving. I hope you are having a great start to 2023 Pan and look forward to your upcoming exceptional content, conducting reviews, product testing, interviews, etc. I would love to see some more content using that beautiful Porsche 911 you have on your hands sir! Maybe when you do a big spring detail after your harsh winter to get the car prepared for a glorious summer of enjoying your car driving the roads of your beautiful Country, especially in the summer time.
Hi Joe! Thanks for the great positive feedback and kind words. I hope you’ll have a great 2023 as well!!
By the way, yes I have cool content coming with my 911, but note that I already produced a cool thorough spring maintenance cleaning with it in this video: th-cam.com/video/oTaFE_p2OAw/w-d-xo.html
Did you see that one?
@@PanTheOrganizer I think I missed that one, I will check it out tonight! Thanks Pan. Talk to you soon buddy.
No worries! It's a great video by the way.
I put the Advanced Graphene version on my car over the summer, its been brilliant. Its outlasted the car since my car was totalled in an accident a few weeks ago, but I remember seeing it being pulled up onto the tow truck still thinking, wow its shiny.
Good to know! Sorry for your loss though, are you ok?
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks for asking, aside for some bruises and whiplash, I’m doing well. My doctor expects me to make a full recovery from these injuries. I do look forward to detailing my new car when I get it! Thanks for your work, love this channel!
Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad to hear you are safe. What new car did you get?
@@PanTheOrganizer I think I'd like to get a Jeep Wrangler 4xe. With all the black plastic trim on it, I'll make sure to rewatch your tutorials on how to protect that.
The vehicle really does look better than new still. I used the advanced spray coating and still have phenomenal results as well.
I enjoy your process and love learning from you. I hope you're warm and well!
Thank you! It's below freezing here though haha (17F).
@@PanTheOrganizer we got lucky and hit 40F today but its windy
Are you in Chicago?
@@PanTheOrganizer cleveland, Ohio
Pan, thanks for being you! Stay awesome!
Thanks JJ! I appreciate it.
Hi Pan, I'd forgotten all about this coating, it was great to see the coating doing really well after 14 months thanks for the update and advice
:)
I installed the regular version in my brand new 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander 6 months ago. Did everything, from washing to polishing before installing, as I learned from you Pan, and the coating is holding up greatly so far.
Since I live in a condo, I have to use a public car wash and I wash my car every 2 weeks.
Thanks for all the tips Pan.
Thanks for the real world update!
God bless you folks who live in those conditions.
🥶
Wow, the coating is doing extremely well👍🏻. It's amazing to see what a shampoo with a good degreasing capability can do. Great work Pan!
Thanks Konsta!
@@PanTheOrganizer 👍🏻❤️
I have the same coating on my Wife’s Nissan Rogue and the first time I washed it after it had got really dirty I was like a kittle upset because I thought it was dead but I washed it with the Adam’s shampoo and the coating came back strong 💪🏻 Great video and thank you for the update. I look forward to each and every video. Thank my friend 👏
Thanks for sharing your real world experience Danny!
Thanks so much for doing this Pan! We have been using it on our clients vehicles for ceramic coatings and we love it! Thank you!
Great to hear!
@@PanTheOrganizer have you heard Adam's now has a Professional Graphene Ceramic Coating? I was just talking to one of their guys on Instagram today.
I just bought this kit. Getting ready to buff out my black 2020 Canyon. I painted and detailed years ago. Never tried it before. Your videos are very helpful.
Thanks Nick! Here’s the video where I show how to apply it: th-cam.com/video/idU5XsHTj7Y/w-d-xo.html
Just applied this today and it couldn't have gone smoother. Super easy to apply and remove and the car looks amazing. Fortunately I have a few days to let the car sit in the garage and cure. Used very little of the product on a 2015 Prius. Not sure if I put it on a little thin or not, but I still have 3/4 of the bottle left. Oh well, time will tell and I definitely have enough to coat it again if need be, or coat another car for sure.
Did you use the UV light to ensure you had proper coverage?
I used this adams advanced graphene ceramic coating also on my car. I live in Pittsburgh and we get bad winters and awful roads too. But I can tell you that my car is driven over 50 miles daily and it's the cleanest car around. The coating makes it always look clean even when it's not. I do wash it weekly though
Good to hear. And yeah regular maintenance is always the best for any protection. The more people take care of their vehicles, the better the protection will perform and the longer it will last.
I used this product 3 years now. ❤
That would be impossible, as the regular version was released in the summer of 2020 (not 3 years yet) and the Advanced version shown in this video was only released in spring/summer of 2021, so not quite 2 years yet.
Are you confusing this with another product?
What an amazing difference in beading and sheeting after the contact wash.
Thanks for watching Bill. What protection is currently on your vehicle?
@@PanTheOrganizer Between our three vehicles and our son’s, I’m using 303 graphene nano spray, Meguiars hybrid ceramic wax, Torque detail mirror shine and Nexgen ceramic shine. They go on easily and give good protection and our cars are garaged so they don’t get beat on. Our son’s? That’s another story. Outside all the time in the Boston area. Anytime he visits us in CT, I try to wash it and throw another coat of protection on it.
I've been using the advanced spray coat a few months now and I can say it's some impressive stuff. 👍
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the update. I applied the Adam's Advanced Graphene Coating on two vehicles last summer, my wife's 2007 Saturn Sky and my 2022 Camaro 2SS 1LE. Both are garage kept and only driven during nice weather, so of course it's holding up really well. I should be picking up a 2019 Ford Fiesta ST this coming weekend, and will be doing a full paint correction/polish come the Spring and will then apply the Adam's Advanced Graphene Coating on that as well. That will be my daily driver year round, and will be parked outside, so it will have to deal with all four seasons. That will give me a much better idea on how the coating will hold up under less than ideal conditions. Seeing how it's performing here gives me hope that it should last a good while.
Awesome! And don't forget, maintenance is key for any coating. The better you care for a vehicle, the longer the protection will last and the better it will perform.
Do a update and use the Adam's Graphene Boost, would be a cool follow up video. I'm using that as a topper every other wash with this coating.
Thanks for this update. I am also having great results after a few months of bad weather. And slickness too.
Good to know! Where do you live? So it can help others who live in conditions similar to yours.
I am currently living in Northern California. Summers of 100-degree weather and currently going thru hard rain and floods. So if you live in California, I am sure you are going thru the same lately. Adams Advanced coating is just great for me. It's definitely doing its job while making it easier for me to maintain. Thanks again, Pan!
Have a great day Allan!
I absolutely love this coating. Have had it on my car about 5 months now and it’s amazing. I’m about to get a new car and will prob go with this one again just because it’s working so well

@@PanTheOrganizer anytime brother. Your videos are my lifeline in the detailing world. If I’m thinking about buying a product, I first want to see what Pan thinks about it! I have years of detail experience as well and I’m very picky when it comes to products, considering there’s a ton of good and bad ones! So that’s why I come to your channel, sir! Thank you!
Thanks for the update Pan. I have only used the tire dressing from Adams and honestly it was the best I have ever used
Yes that tire dressing one a battle of tire dressings in my video here: th-cam.com/video/dBFssyGLNQM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the update. I am looking forward to the next update 👍
You bet
The coating is holding up very well in my opinion. We all know the Nissan is not kicking the Porsche out of the garage. Your winters are brutal and push the limits of coatings and other coatings would be less effective. Hope you two are doing well and staying dry. Spring will be here soon. Thank you for the video.
Thanks Neil. Yeah it's below freezing temps here in Montreal (17F) and I hate winter haha. Winter for us starts end of October and ends mid-April. So it seems half the year we are in winter mode with winter tires. :(
Decided to do DIY Adam's Advanced Graphene Ceramic coating on my GR86 a month ago, after watching your videos on this product. Have washed the car twice since, and the gloss is amazing and coating is as good as the first day so far.
It would be great if you could test the new Adam's Graphene Boost as a topper on the next updates for this.
Looking forward to your continued update on this going forward.
Thanks for your personal feedback on your experience with the coating. By the way, how did you discover my channel?

Thanks Eleazar! Happy new year!
I can’t wait to see the video on year nine and 10, I will be waiting and watching.
Hahaha I doubt my girlfriend will still have her vehicle at that point. I don't think anyone will test coatings for that long. Also, keep in mind that "claimed" durability is never the actual real world durability. For many reasons and variables that scientists can't account for in their testing: prep, application, conditions, daily driver vs weekend driven, car that stays outside in the elements 24/7 vs garage kept, maintenance, etc.
So what they do in labs is simulate washes and certain conditions as best they can and extrapolate durability. So I view durability more as an comparison between different products, and not a true durability. Meaning a 7 year coating should in theory last longer compared to a 2 year coating, but I don't expect the 7 year coating to actually last 7 years. You will likely get 4 to 5 years out of it in real world use.
Watch an interesting video I made with an industry chemist who explains testing and durability claims: th-cam.com/video/A8V7_HysfwA/w-d-xo.html
I coated my BMW with the original Adams Graphene Ceramic Coating in 2020, and it is still holding up very well. Every three months I add in Adams Ceramic Boost after a maintenance wash. The water beading and sheeting characteristics are great, and the paint really “pops” especially after doing the ceramic boost! The only problem with this product is that it is more difficult to apply than other ceramic coatings, and there is a higher probability of getting some raised coated areas. If you can apply indoors using the UV light, you can probably catch that, but if you have to apply outside it is really hard to catch before everything is completely cured.
Thanks for sharing your experience with it! The Advanced is still going strong on my girlfriend’s SUV and we applied it in October 2021.
Would you recommend this more than carpro cQuartz? Gonna purchase ceramic coat and apply it hopefully soon.
CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0 is still my favourite consumer grade coating, as mentioned in my most recent awards video here: th-cam.com/video/gRwsznwfTwE/w-d-xo.html
That being said, that coating lasts 24 months on average. The Adam's Advanced Graphene Ceramic Coating has a claimed durability of up to 9 years, so in theory should last longer. Nobody has had the chance to test it for over three years yet, as it's still fairly new to the market. It's also a bit more difficult to apply compared to CQUK.
Very useful and informative video on ceramic coating upkeep and durability.
Seems like Adams make some good products.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the feedback Daniel! 😁👍🏻
Adam's Ceramic Boost or Avalon King's Armor Shield Light applied over top of the Adam's Ceramic Coating leaves an insane shine.
👍🏻
Awesome! I’ve wanted to see something like this for so long!
Glad you liked it!
Hey Pan. Love the hydrophobic properties of the Adam's Graphene Shampoo and Ceramic coating. It's crazy the hydrophobic properties, glossness and slickness of that Nissan Rogue. Think it is time I jump on to Adam's products. I definitely know how you feel with the harsh Canadian weather since I am from Toronto. Thank you for the in depth video. Always a great learning tool are your videos
Thanks Jameel. Just to be clear, the Adam's Graphene Shampoo doesn't add any hydrophobic properties or protection, as I mentioned in the video, the graphene in this case is only for better lubrication and also the soap has superior degreasing properties compared to the regular Adam's Car Shampoo, hence why it helps to restore the hydrophobics that might be masked by grime and road film.
@@PanTheOrganizer You are quite right Pan. I had to rewatch that when you mentioned it. Thank you for correcting me but you're absolutely right.
No worries. Have a great day!
Wow it did fantastic given your crazy winter weather. Like the real world testing, means much more than a brand telling us how great a product is...
Thanks! I like to test for myself and not rely on brands' claims.
@@PanTheOrganizer We appreciate that. Its great to validate what the claim is...
Love your content, Pan! I appreciate the fact that you're testing all these products and giving us RL results- that's huge and much appreciated!
I'm also super impressed with the camera you're using- the quick zoom when you show products up close is ridiculously fast. Can you let us know what cam you're using? :)
It’s a high quality Sony A7S mark III camera with Sigma Art f2.8 24-70mm lens. 😁
I presented my new camera gear in this video: th-cam.com/video/Zauybg-akfk/w-d-xo.html
Another amazing episode brother.
Thanks Richard. I hope you are doing well.
Hey Pan great video and thank you for the updates? Would you happen to know when the next update on durability would be? Thank you for your great work!

I will likely make the next update at the 2 year mark, in October.
I purchased Adam's Graphene coating in June 2022; I still have 1/2 bottle left. Is it still good? I am not seeing an expiration date.
Once opened, coatings are good for a few months at best. So no.
Good evening Pan great info on the Adam's advanced graphene. I myself use the original adams graphene. Some other tey to knock it down but I believe in this Adams graphene coating. Like any other coating if you take care of it it will prolong the duration of the product.
Hi Peter. What do you mean by "Some other tey to knock it down but I believe in this Adams graphene coating." ?? I don't understand what you wrote there.
@@PanTheOrganizer my apologies, yes some other detailers try to put down the Adams graphene. That is what I was try to say.
Oh ok. Yeah it's a good coating. Are there better professional grade coatings out there? Yes of course, but in the consumer grade space, the Adam's Advanced Graphene Coating is comparable to others like Ethos Matrix Graphene, and other popular consumer ones.
Thanks for the continued updates. Fascinating stuff for me! I too live in a salt filled world but do have that luxurious temperature controlled environment like you have at your disposal. 🥺
Thanks. How do you clean your car during winter months Robert?
@Pan The Organizer ... sadly I reluctantly utilize the local car wash facilities... I am reluctant to use the waterless wash method.
Always use water when accessible/possible. I would never recommend a waterless wash unless you have ZERO access to water. If you can at least fill a bucket with water, a better alternative to a waterless wash is using a rinseless wash.
A rinseless wash still uses water (in the bucket) compared to a waterless wash that uses ZERO water. In a waterless wash method, you just spray the waterless wash and wipe. Hence why rinseless washes are considered a safer technique compared to waterless. Less chances of scratching and marring the paint.
And also, with a rinseless wash, use common sense. If the car is super dirty, you would pre-rinse first with a garden hose or pressure washer. Rinseless wash doesn't mean you never rinse, it just means no rinsing is needed at the end of the process.
But my favourite method to wash a car is the traditional one with buckets, water and microfiber wash mitts.
@Pan The Organizer ... using any H²O in freezing weather leaves/would leave lots of ice.
How come no one ever focuses on undercarriage flushing, especially in certain climates?
I have covered that topic in a few videos, including one showing the undercarriage washer in use for a car I was fully detailing in the winter time: th-cam.com/video/heHmSOmKfkc/w-d-xo.html
And this video where I review that undercarriage washer: th-cam.com/video/2fOEaNOGTFI/w-d-xo.html
But I don't know why other channels are not covering the topic. I can't answer for them haha.
Hope to see you continue doing this update until the coating dies
Yes there will likely be a 2-year update in October, so stay tuned.
Thanks for the update. I used this product on my black Lexus is250 on your recommendation from previous video. Would have loved to seen the difference after applying the detail spray. Thanks for another great video.
There will be no visible different on the hydrophobics after the detail spray, as the hydrophobics had already been restored after the degreasing properties of the shampoo were used. The water beads were perfectly round and tight, and the sheeting rate was super fast.
I’ve been waiting for an update
Thank you Pan!!!!!!!!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Great video actually convincing me
To go with adam’s graphene coating. How ever i tried to contact them in australia and was no response( no call centre) so decided to go with CSL based on your other reviews.
Gtechniq have superior coatings in my books, so you did well. Gtechniq, CarPro and Gyeon are top tier coating manufacturers.
I'm a couple of weeks or so in on mine and loving it.

Good follow up video. Thank you Pan. I have the Graphene detail spray and I use it on my ceramic coated wheels/rims after I wash them
Thanks Pasquale!
Merci pour cette vidéo très instructive.
Ça fait plaisir!
Another great video -lover the linear product review. Adams has such great products? How does the slickness compare to Carpro reset? That shampoo just glides and it has become my only bucket options because of that slickness. Thanks again for the great quality and information.
Both are very good shampoos, I still prefer Reset overall for regular coating maintenance, but this Adam's does have great lubricity and degreasing capabilities as demonstrated.
Thanks for the kind words about my videos Dennis! Always appreciated. :)
Hi Pan, thansk for this review how coating works.
I had Graphene Ceramic Coating (frist simple version), and after one year I had same results, but after two years on bottom of doors, trunk lid and roof its had hydrofile effect, but coatins also woorks very good.
Thanks for sharing!
Great video as usual, one question, what type of water sprayer are you using on this video, pressure, hose pressure, tip ...?
Thanks for any info and all your informative videos.
As always an amazing video Pan and I love the real time unedited testing that you provide to us the viewers, but as usual I do have a question. How do we know that the wash is actually unclogging the pores of the ceramic coating and not just adding a "topper" effect to the existing ceramic coating making it appear as if its decontaminated the coating? It is a question that I have often been asked but cant actually verify with an explanation to the question. I am not saying that the wash is in fact just masking the dirty ceramic below and adding back a hydrophobic effect, but genuinely asking this question as it is something that I would like to better understand. I hope my question is making sense and thank you for taking the time to answer.
Because I asked the chemist who formulated this shampoo and he confirmed it doesn’t add any protection. It’s just made to have a stronger degreasing power to unclog coatings.
See the interview here: th-cam.com/video/KOHw0bweWEc/w-d-xo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer WOW!!! Thank you for the super quick response. Ill have a look at the vid but its great to know that shampoos like those will actually reset the coating. Have a great weekend
You too! 👍🏻
The silver label Adam’s Graphene didn’t last very long at all on my GTO.
I applied it and it maybe lasted a year or so.. I was disappointed but I re corrected and coated it again and now it looks 90% perfect to me. We’ll see how long it lasts this time.
Although I love how the Graphene shampoo turned out… I’ll definitely have to add that to my mobile detail inventory..
The Advanced on my gf’s car is now starting to show some failure points in the lower parts of the doors as we are approaching 3 years since the application.
It’s probably 80-85% at this point.
Hi Pan, thanks for all the great videos, I wondered if you may have any product suggestions that can help to stop dust from dirt roads staying on the paint work.
Thanks Leigh.
Unfortunately there are no miracles for people who live in areas with dust issues. What you can do to help reduce it a bit, is apply a topper on your protection, that has anti-static properties, like this one: bit.ly/3XhrLp5
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you I will try the Adams products and add the topper that you suggest
Pan first of all I gotta say I love your channel mate, secondly can you please recommend me a coating which has best shine and hydrophobic tendencies please 😊
Thanks! See my video for your answers: th-cam.com/video/w_dpnJH_Mz0/w-d-xo.html
Since in my opinion, you have the best.
Car detailing channel on TH-cam That you would be the man that can answer this question best. I just had a jax wax graphine coating put on my car. After a few weeks, should I used a spray with graphene or ceramic as a topper Or is it fine to use something like bead maker?

To answer your question, you can use which ever maintenance spray you like, regardless if it's graphene or ceramic. Both technologies are compatible. So you could apply a graphene spray on a ceramic coating, and you can use a ceramic spray on a graphene coating. Keep in mind that graphene coatings are a ceramic base formulation, with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) infused in them. Ceramic coatings and graphene coatings are very similar overall. ;)
And yes you can use Bead Maker on top of everything: waxes, sealants and coatings.
@PanTheOrganizer The guy that did my coding told me not to put graphine toppers on it Because they streak like crazy. And for some reason, he also told me to not put wax on it.
Another great video! Do you have updates on the Honda Accord with the Glass Parency graphine coating on it?
After it passed the 2 year mark with the coating applied, the person sold his vehicle unfortunately.
But he told me it was still going strong.
@@PanTheOrganizer Hopefully there will be a another video with it soon.
Love your videos!!! Thanks for all the pointers. Question, was the Rogue parked outdoors or garaged kept?
It’s a mix. Sometimes outside all day, and during winter months it stays in the garage at night.
I’ll speak about that and more in the 2 year update video sometime in October. Stay tuned.
Love this. Your videos are one of a kind and very informative. Maybe I’ll give it a try in the future once I’m less intimidated by the coatings. Right now I have the graphene advanced spray that I’m going to give a try with my new pressure washer set up. I grabbed a bottle of Gyeon Bathe+. Any thoughts on how that carwash soap performs? I also have a gallon of the Mega Foam that I’m going to give a whirl into my foam cannon as well.

Bathe+ is a shampoo that contains SiO2. It's perfect to use as maintenance on top of existing ceramic or graphene protection. Or you can use a pH neutral shampoo, with no protection, and add protection at the end of the wash process, with your choice of ceramic or graphene spray.
I have a video on my favourite shampoos here: th-cam.com/video/kWSQSpD0Rww/w-d-xo.html
Hey Pan love your videos as always? What are your thoughts on the graphene coating vs a ceramic coating when it comes to UV protection. I applied carpro ceramic coating last year and due to my black car sitting outside in the sun it seems to have created major holes in the coating. How does the graphene compare in that aspect?
Measuring UV protection is nearly impossible unless you're in a lab environment, so we rely on manufacturer claims on that. It doesn't matter if it's graphene or ceramic on that topic. Both should protect the clear coat equally. Most graphene coatings are a ceramic coating with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) infused in them anyways.
How do you know that the coating created "major holes"?? That seems impossible to see. You don't see the coating on the clear coat.
@@PanTheOrganizer I just noticed that the coating wore off in different panels like the roof, top of spoiler, and the hood as they were the most exposed to the sun. And I noticed more mineral deposits getting stuck to the car. Just a theory like you said I can’t actually see the holes I just noticed less hydrophobicity in areas. Gotta go and clear these hard water spots and paint correct again 😭😂
It’s a tough time of the year if you’re a Detailer here in Canada. I’m in the southern central interior of BC. The vehicle gets nice and clean and then two blocks later it’s dirty again. Oh well, at least the salt and that liquid de-icer is off.
Love this 100%
Thanks JH!
Hi Pan, I would love for you to do a video on the end of life service of a coating and where do you go next? Do you have to machine polish and then reapply the same product what are the steps when the resin based coating is near the end of its life cycle?
Thanks!
You have to restart all the steps including machine polishing, to ensure complete removal of the previous coating.
Easy clean to restore that hydrophobic shedding, nice to know.
Thanks for watching!
Pan, thanks for another great video.
Is there anyway you can test out the Maxshine Graphene Coating?
I'd really like to know how good the chemical resistance is also if possible. I wasn't able to find any videos on it other than how easy it was to apply and take off.
Thanks Bobby. If I get enough viewer requests for that coating, I'll look into it. But I see zero interest from viewers so far, heck I wasn't even aware they released a coating.
@@PanTheOrganizer ok thanks pan. The only reason I’m interested is because of how easy it seemed to remove as well as how forgiving it was for the time to take it off. The video I saw was from Imjoshv. I didn’t reach out to him on this but couldn’t find any videos at all about the chemical resistance like I’ve seen you do. I thought others may be interested in this just do to how easy it is supposed to be to remove vs. how you described the grabbiness of the Adam’s advanced in this video.
Thanks for responding. 😁👊🏼
Great video as usual. Can I use the Adam’s Graphine soap on a car that was ceramic coated with a different brand?
Absolutely.
Hey nice i was waiting on this video! I live in mtl too! Ill be putting this coating on my new santa fe 👍🏻 does the coating on your car react the same as the adams when the car is dirty?
Not as much but yes in our weather and conditions most coatings get clogged (masked properties) in the winter.
My car gets washed twice weekly which also helps reduce grime accumulation. My girlfriend’s vehicle gets washed once or twice per month.
Very much enjoying and learning from your content as I prepare to try my hand at paint protection this spring.
I gather from your demo that you don't think a pre-rinse with product, or a foam gun/canon is necessary when washing with the graphene coating already applied? I suppose if I was really worried, using foam wouldn't hurt anything :)
This wasn’t a car wash tutorial. I always pre-rinse and foam a vehicle before handwashing it.
See how I wash my car twice weekly in this video: th-cam.com/video/KEAfc_LUO4E/w-d-xo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer got it. As others have commented, your demo here is so much more in depth than others, great guide, thanks for doing it
Pantelis the king of detailing is back! 🤴🙌
Who's Pantelis? I'm Pandelis. :) And I was never gone. ;)
@@PanTheOrganizer Παντελής ο οργανοτικος! 😂🙌🙌
LOL OPA RE !!!
I have a 2022 Rogue S.V. Premium in white. I used the Advanced version also, and it gets cleaned weekly. NOTHING sticks to the paint. The gloss and the beading is just unreal!! Great video. Are those wheels just for the winter??
Thanks for sharing! Yes those are my girlfriend's winter wheels and tires.
Excellent video, I live in a city with a lot of dust and sun, I want a product that has more than 1 year of durability, what ceramic do you recommend?
Thanks Hugo. Pretty much all true coatings (in glass bottles) from reputable brands should get you years of protection. See my latest awards video for my top recommendations: th-cam.com/video/KRv7vKsuliQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DoaJobw7fRLxFUZX

@@PanTheOrganizer When you apply a ceramic, what is the proper maintenance so that the product lasts?
Love the video man I have that coating on my truck …what about that glass parency graphene coating you put on that black Honda a while back,how is that one doing. Will we ever get a update on that coating?
The person sold their vehicle, so I don't have access to it unfortunately. But according to the owner, it was still performing strong after 2+ years since we had applied it.
Doing updates like these is more difficult than it seems. Getting the vehicle back for just an update isn't the easiest thing, as people have busy lives or they buy a new vehicle, etc. In this case, it's my girlfriend's vehicle so it's more easy.
@@PanTheOrganizer O ok I see completely understandable …keep putting out the good videos
Thanks I appreciate it! What's your favourite video so far on my channel, by the way?
@@PanTheOrganizer Probably your ultimate sprint maintenance video that you did on your car the hydrophobics on that coating is crazy ….Second would be the awards video I’ve bought a lot of products from that video to try out
Hey what’s up Pan I’ve been watching your for 2 years now you have great content thanks for all the videos but if I don’t have a garage to prep a car for ceramic coating how can I still get great results ?
You could apply it outside, but you have to make sure it won't rain for 24 hours after application. Also never work in direct sunlight. Work in the shade, and on a cool surface.
@@PanTheOrganizer oh ok ok yea cause sometimes dust blows up or you know micro particles but then I could buff it after it dries rite ?
Hi Pan - I hope you're having a great day; and once again, thanks for all the great content. I finally 'bit the bullet' and put a ceramic coating--specifically, the Adams Advanced--on my pickup. I spent close to 26 hours--decontaminating, claying, compounding, polishing, and of course, applying the coating. It went well except that I didn't anticipate how fast the Adams would flash when my garage was at 82 degrees.
That said; the real reason I'm writing is to ask your advice. I still have a few days before my first wash; and I was wondering what you would recommend as a "topper". Do I really need to buy a ceramic topper or one of the Adams products you used in this video? I already have P&S Bead Maker (blended with a bit of Dream Maker). I also have Turtle Wax Graphene Flex Wax. Are either of these sufficient; or should I invest in a true topper to use every few months? Thanks--I really appreciate your opinion.
Oh, I also have some Geyon Wet Coat that I normally use on my wheels... 😉
Either of the ones you already have will do just fine. You can use which ever ceramic or graphene topper that you want. And Bead Maker is compatible with coatings, waxes and sealants. 👍🏻
Yes that’s fine too. On wheels and as a topper on your paint if you want.
Thank you for your time. 🙂👍
😁👍🏻
Hi Pan! Again, I love this video too. I just installed this coated 6 months ago, after the first wash I installed the ceramic spray Graphene over the advanced coating, do you think this can help? I was thinking to do a maintenance every 6 months and reapply the ceramic spray. What do you think about the Graphene boost from Adam’s? Thanks
Yes that would be a good maintenance. Of course, I would still use a drying aid (like the Adam's Graphene Detail Spray) after you wash the car regularly.
I haven't tested the Graphene Boost spray yet.
Is this a garaged vehicle and if not do you have any knowledge of durability for a non garaged vehicle? Thanks for your informative content!
It’s mainly garaged in the winter, not as much during the rest of the year.
It’s her daily driver and she does approximately 21,000km/year (13,000 miles).
Nobody has been able to test this for over three years yet as it’s still fairly new to the market.
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks for your response. Understood, with all your experience would you rank this as the most durable consumer ceramic coating? I’m attempting to determine whether to purchase Adams, Geyon, Gtechniq or Carpro Cquartz. I’ve watched all your videos on these products. I have a 2021 Toyota Hilux that lives outside in Australia 365 days a year which I wash once a month if I get time.
Great video can you show us the uv light on the coting 🙂
The UV light is only when you are applying the coating the first time. I showed that in this video: th-cam.com/video/idU5XsHTj7Y/w-d-xo.html
I asked that question to the main chemist who formulates this, Chris Gallahar, and here was the answer I received:
"The UV-tracer is designed as an application aid and a double-check immediately after application. The UV-tracer in the product is a fluorescing optical brightener and while it is robust, it is not as robust as the ceramic coating and will break down when over exposed to UV light like several sunny days.
It’s not designed to withstand more than a week or so after the coating has been applied. It’s for visual confirmation of the successful installation of the coating and can help act as a training aid as well as an opportunity to evaluate how the coating has leveled and whether different application techniques get better results."
Great update! Sooo satisfying watching the hydrophobics come back! I think there are so much hype on hydrophobics that if it's not insanely hydrophobic that protection is gone. Great way to show how coatings perform in the REAL world. 🤜🤛
Thanks bro!! 😁💪🏻👍🏻
I know its just a Nissan but i would enjoyed a full detail video!😌😔

Thank you for the update pan. We actually have the same rogue we bought brand new in pearl white. BTW..if u get the chance try Brian's blue collar line, it's pretty amazing!! 👍🇨🇦
I'll check it out!
Hi Pan, great video. Had a question...with Adam's Advanced Graphene coating...how do you maintain the car a year or 2 out? meaning is it recommended to clay the car a couple of years after applying this coating? or do you simply do what you're doing in this video for the 7 to 9 years after applying the coating? going in with the assumption it lasts that long lol
Maintenance of a coated vehicle is super simple. Wash regularly. And once every 2-3 months, do a deeper maintenance wash like in my tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/IqIW78FmRYU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cqpJh49IJpYEFRzn
I will have a 2 year update video coming in October for this Adam’s coating so stay tuned.
Pan, would you recommend the Adams's advanced on top of Xpel PPF? I know you liked Halo in your previous video. I have a '23 Corvette being delivered Friday that will be half PPF coated. So, one brand ceramic coating for the entire car or one brand for the PPF and another brand for the non-PPF paint. If so what brands do you like to date for DIY. Thanks for the great videos!
You could certainly use the Adam's Advanced Graphene Ceramic Coating both on the PPF and painted surfaces if you want. It will avoid you from buying two separate coatings. Some coatings like the Adam's are versatile and can be applied to multiple surfaces like paint, glass, trim, wheels, PPF, etc.
Looks like I am doing a graphine coating this spring
Thanks for watching Kanga!
Recent rain has been putting waterspots on my car for the past couple of months no matter what I do, about 3 months ago I went through whole paint decon and paint correction with a layer of wax+sealant and still I would get etching in the paint after rain. I believe acid rain is culprit because the coating on my windshield was completely stripped and was left feeling rough and coarse with water spots. Will be looking to upgrade to a ceramic coating to see if that works.
A ceramic coating won’t make the etching go away. If water spots have been left untreated for a while, they need one of three methods:
1) a water spot remover spray
If that doesn’t work, go up in intensity and
2) machine polish the area (compound and polish)
If that still doesn’t work, it means the minerals from the water spots really etched through the clear coat and at that point the only option left is
3) water sanding followed by paint polishing
And if that still doesn’t work, a panel respray is the only solution.
@Pan The Organizer they're not that bad they definitely will come out with a machine polish most of the water spots came off with a wash but you can still see them if you wipe with a damp towel probably etched in the clear coat will be buying gyeons water spot remover a full 1 step polish then a quality ceramic coating. Thanks for the help pan!👍

Hello. How are you? Love your contents. Amazon sells the Advanced Graphene Spray Coating. Can I use that as a maintenance spray over my ceramic coated car?
Yes but don't use it as often. Perhaps once every 6 months, as it's quite durable. Normally, you'd apply maintenance sprays once every 2-3 months.
What ceramic coating do you have on your paintwork? You could also look into just using that brand's own maintenance spray.
See my ceramic coating maintenance tutorial: th-cam.com/video/IqIW78FmRYU/w-d-xo.html

@@PanTheOrganizer I have Ceramic Pro 9H.
Yes you could use the Adam's as a topper.
Great video Pan! Would you use this on a dodge challenger classic with the vinyl satin black side stripes? I'm not sure just what to do seeing that the vinyl covers painted surface and runs almost the whole length of the upper side panels.
Yes it’s fine to coat over that. It will make the stripes look richer and nicer.
@@PanTheOrganizer I have a related question which I think the original question was not answered. I have a 2018 Zl1 1LE which has matte black vinyl hood. Will this coating make the flat black look more glossy or even satin?
Hello Pan. What graphene coating do you recommend in your experience
All my top recommendations are in my popular annual car detailing products awards video here: th-cam.com/video/gRwsznwfTwE/w-d-xo.html
Hey pan, I’m been polishing my car for more than 4 days now, which has a lot scratches and swirls, holograms marks. I’m using rupes pads and lake country HDO blue pad, they do remove the imperfections but it takes for ever to do a small sections. I was wondering if you use a special pad that removes imperfections in no time. Thank you!
There is no magical combination unfortunately, as every paint is different. Paints have soft or hard clear coats, no the same defects, not the same oxidation level, etc.
Hence why we always do test spots to find out what the best compound/polish and pad combination is for your specific paint and level of paint correction you want to achieve.
For deeper correction, perhaps look into the new Rupes microfiber cutting discs (microfiber discs have usually stronger cutting power compared to foam pads) and and heavier cut compound, like this combo:
Pads: bit.ly/3vU04Xs
Compound: bit.ly/3X4RX6q
And then after that step, you would move to use a polishing pad and polish to refine the surface, boost gloss, clarity, and remove the sanding marks from the compound stage.
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you!! You are the best!
Thanks I appreciate it! :)
Do you ever use additives like AmmoNYC Boost in the winter? I just got some (I’m in NE Ohio) and tried it for the first time tonight - added it to Adams Graphene Shampoo. I don’t know if it “worked,” but it definitely made the shampoo even slicker.
I do have Ammo Boost, but haven't really used it. I don't keep my cars long enough (I get a brand new car every three years) so I would likely never see the benefits of using such products haha.
Hello Pan great videos you do. I have a question. My wife just bought new car and I want to put Adams ceramic coating on it and I would like to ask how do I prepare the surface of the car? Or which video you have talks about the procedure to do this right. Thank you for any feedback and suggestions.👍
You can see how I applied it on my girlfriend’s new SUV in this video: th-cam.com/video/idU5XsHTj7Y/w-d-xo.html
And I have a more general guide on how to apply a ceramic coating in this tutorial: th-cam.com/video/sqQYVjxFqK0/w-d-xo.html
Would you do a video of how to properly maintain a ceramic/graphene coating. Every 3 months and say a year two years and so on to make your coating last say 5 years thank you
It’s the same maintenance procedure and same products as maintenance of a ceramic coated car. Here’s my most recent tutorial: th-cam.com/video/IqIW78FmRYU/w-d-xo.html
Hi Pan,
Quick question. I applied to two of this on my Miata. I let it cure in my garage for 6 days. When i brought it home it was in a heavy rain. Do you think that was not enough curing time before getting it wet? I know not to wash it for two weeks, but i was also trying not to get it wet for two weeks to ensure curing. Thanks
For getting it wet, 24 hours of curing is all that is needed. So you are fine. Just don’t wash the car for two weeks after applying a coating.
Hey, thanks for the last response. I'm curious, does it still reflect the UV light after 14 months, it does that property fade?
Once the coating cures the UV tracers disappear.
@@PanTheOrganizer oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up. You're the best.
so when do you use the initial graphene coating product again after the first treatment?
you are talking about using a booster or a topper after three months, but when should i use the real graphene coating product that was used at the beginning again?
The claimed durability is 9 years for this one. So when you see the properties starting to diminish (who knows how long this truly lasts nobody has had s chance to test it for that long yet) you restart all the steps including machine polishing to fully remove it and reapply a fresh coat.
It’s like that for any ceramic or graphene coating.
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks. but it wouldnd hurt to reapply a second layer a month after the initial layer in your opinion?
Thanks for all your helpful videos
Greetings from Germany :)
Cheers from Canada! You could apply a second layer but it’s not needed.
