RayS - Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Im kind of glad im not alone in this and it seems the issue is a function of time and letting the product sit and "stick" to the substrate. I'll definitely post an update using longer dwell time and post the results.

Will do!

Awesome. Thanks, Dan! I'll repeat the process with longer dwell time and see what happens.

All, New guy, and my first post here! I want to be very clear, im looking for answers and what i may have done wrong, if anything, with this coating; so in the interest of that, 100% transparency and candor will be used in this post. As a side note, i did leave a review before i knew about the Adams forums which is severely condensed so i'll elaborate everything here. Get a fresh cup of coffee, or drink of your choice, here we go... Vehicle: 2019 Chevy 2500HD, Diesel. Never had any buffing done to it - didnt let the dealer touch it, for obvious reasons. Driven daily, 60 mile round trip back and forth to work. Washed weekly, two bucket method with Adams "Ultra Foam" or "Mega Foam", whichever i have on hand. The Process: 1. Wash vehicle with Adams strip wash, two bucket method and microfiber mits 2. Clay with Megs 3. Spray all painted surfaces, including wheels with Adams Iron remover. Wait for reaction while not letting product dry, rinse off 4. Re-wash vehicle with Adams strip wash, two bucket method and fresh microfiber mits 5. Final rinse and blow dry 6. Move vehicle under cover - surface temp 80 Deg F 7. Two step polish with Menzerna 1000 (Only a few spots needed a heavier cut) and 2500/3500 on the rest of the vehicle. 2500 and then 3500 were used on the areas that Menzerna 1000 was used on. 98% of the vehicle only needed 3500. 8. Re-wash with Adams strip wash after polishing - no spatter on the paint, but i prefer doing it this way with my vehicles to ensure everything is removed. 9. Blow vehicle down with compressed air and microfiber towels to dry. 10. IPA wipe down. 11. Following label directions apply Adams Graphene spray, allow to rainbow and then remove. I did one panel at a time. Applied second coat once i made it once around the vehicle. 12. Leave garaged for 24 hrs to "cure" Here is where im at a loss - ive only gotten roughly six weeks out of this coating and its pretty much gone. To be clear, the usability and versatility (using on trim etc) is phenomenal - Adams, you did great with this aspect!!! The durability, atleast for me, has been horrible. As mentioned, i wash weekly, and saw a gradual decline in product hydrophobics and performance. The first wash was great, nothing stuck to the surface, not even soap - after that it was a steady decline. Is it possible that i got a faulty bottle??? Below is a panel by panel breakdown, i'll do what i can to be as accurate as possible, but i do NOT have any way to specifically measure. Hood: Very little if any hydrophobic activity, not sure how to give a percentage on this so i'll be a little generous and say approximately 10% product performance remaining.Windshield: Horrible, nothing left - No beading. No sheeting. NothingDoor glass: Maybe 20% product performance remaining, being generousRoof: about the same, 20% product performance left, being generous, little to no hydrophobicsTailgate: Approximately 20% product performance left.Fenders, Doors, Bedside: Top third of panel about MAYBE 5% left. Fenders, Doors, Bedside: Bottom two thirds of panel - ZERO hydrophobics, ZERO product left on panel. No Beading. No Sheeting. Water did not run off panel at all. Plastic Trim: Nothing left. No hydrophobic activity. No beading. Nothing To be clear, i know this is a spray product and not professional grade, but i also expected to get more than six weeks out of it. I live in the North East - so my goal i was hoping for was to at least get through the winter with hydrophobic activity etc, but with the way this has gone im guessing within 1-3 weeks or so that the Graphene spray will need to be, at the very least, reapplied. I want to like this product, the usability of it is phenomenal, but the durability, in this case is horrible! Please feel free to ask any questions. Lets dissect this scenario and try to get to the bottom of it. My end goal is not to bash a companies products, i like the other Adams products i use which is why im at a loss here. So lets have at it, a candid, civil discussion and try to unravel whats going on so it doesnt occur to someone else; or if it does, have a possible solution to offer.
