  1. My car has the Graphene Advanced Spray Coating and I use either the Graphene Detail spray or the Graphene CS3 for teh quick clean up. Can the liquid wax be used over the actual Advanced Spray coating.
  2. I was over in the Shopping section, and I noticed the Graphene Ceramic Boost is not listed anywhere. Has it been discontinued? While it was not used a lot only every 4-6 months It did do a great job.
  3. I just ordered the leather cleaner and also the conditioning product. I have only been using warm water bad a micro fiber cloth to clean the leather. It appears there products will not harm the leather, or what about the interior retailer?
  4. Does anyone know the actual per centage of silicon dioxide in the Advanced Graphene Spray Ceramic?
  5. I have been an Adams user for more years than I can count. I started when his main products were Revive Polish and Buttery Wax. I have been adding to my detail cabinet for many years. So here is my question, well first, my 2015 Velocity Yellow Corvette is coated with the Graphene Spray Coating and maintained with both the Graphene Detail Spray and the Graphene CS3. I also have the Graphene Boost, Graphene VRT, Graphene Shampoo. So, prior to the Graphene Ceramic, and prior to this car my past Corvette was originally protected with the Adams Patriot Wax, and most of the other standard products, of which I still have some of. I converted over to the Ceramic Spray and then the UV Ceramic. In that product line I still have the spray ceramic, the Surface prep, Wash & Coat, Ceramic Waterless, Ceramic Boost and CS3. I am not a fan of mixing products, but just wondering if any of the product's list above are compatible with the graphene products? I hate to simply throw them away (although some of the original products are most like out of date and need to be done away with. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
  6. I received my Graphene Boost just a few days ago and I must say it sure made the paint pop. So, seeing I applied a coat of the Advanced Graphene Spray about 3-4 months ago now this, I will go back to my original routine, which is if the car has some minor dirt on it, I use the Graphene CS3 and in between or at a car show or cruise in I use the Graphene Detail spray. The car does get driven, but it is not a daily driver, so it does not need a full-on wash and dry often. So my real question is how often or what is the time recommended between coats of the boost? Here are a few pictures of the car after applying the boost and at a few events since it was done. Sorry but the car was in the garage because it is about to rain.
  7. Yes, I did it early morning with two towels and it worked fine. It did really make the shine pop. I would think that I would not need to use it for a few months correct as long as I continue with either the Graphene Detail Spray or the Graphene CS3 for my normal cleanups.
  8. Sorry I stopped the video a little early before he mentioned about applying it in hot weather to use two towels.
  9. I live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida and the temperatures are now in the upper 80's with a high humidity. Based on the video it states not to use it in the direct sun or hot weather. I washed the car today and I applied the Advanced Graphene Spray a few months back. The gar is in the garage and will remain there until around 6 pm tomorrow. Can I apply the boost in the morning while the temperature is only in the mid 70's and the sun is on the opposite side of the house.
  10. Just finished an application of the Advanced Graphene Ceramic Spray and I realize that on light colors (Velocity Yellow) it can be hard to see the rainbow. However, when I first started it was working fine, but I will admit I had to get in the right light to see it. The weather was in the low 70's and low humidity (not like a normal Florida day), so I expected it to take a little longer than normal to do its thing. It seemed like after about half the car I could not see it rainbow anywhere no matter where I stood or at what angle I looked. I believe I remember reading that if the towel felt like it was sticking to the area it was time to remove it. Only been two days so I cannot be sure at this point it went on as it should. Does this seem right or do I need to do it again?
  11. I applied a coat of the Advanced Graphene Spray Coating yesterday, and I forgot to purchase the Graphene Boost. I have the regular boost from when I used the UV Ceramic spray. Can that be applied, or should I not be concerned with the Graphene spray coating needing it. I do have the Graphene Detail and the SC3. What do you detail experts say?
  12. I finished the paint prep and correction yesterday and was going to start applying the Advanced Graphene Spray Coating today, but the temperature is only 63 degrees. Shoulkd I wait until I have at least 70 degrees. Humidity is low which is good.
  13. I plan to clay the car starting next Monday, then apply the Graphene Spray coating. However, I am expecting a delivery from FedEx of a Carbon Flash Stinger stripe 3M vinyl graphics to go on the hood. First, should I leave that area where it will go free of the ceramic and two once it is on what is the best way to care for it. Can the Graphene SC3 or the Graphene Detail Spray be used on it or use nothing at all?
  14. My car is coated with Graphene, and I am almost out of the Ceramic Waterless Wash, but I have a gallon of the Blue Waterless wash. I assume I can still use this on the ceramic coating, correct?
  15. Can the Graphene Advanced spray coating be applied over the Ceramic UV coating? I know the Graphene Detail spray and the GrapheneCS3 can be used over the original ceramic.
  16. Ok, I finished the application of the Ceramic UV Spray earlier today and will apply the Ceramic Boost tomorrow. I have CS3 but it is about gone, but I have Graphene CS3 and Graphene Detail spray. Can I use the Graphene products on the Ceramic UV application?
  17. I seem to remember when Adams first released the ceramic spray coating, that the ceramic boost was to be applied after 4 hours or even the next day. Is that still part of the process. I will finish up applying the Ceramic UV spray coating tomorrow and was planning to apply the Boost on Wednesday morning. Is this a required step in the overall process, or is it not required, and I can simply apply it as a touch up in a few weeks? Not done yet, but here is a partial view. Will take a few better pictures in the next day or two.
  18. I just moved up from a C6 Corvette to a C7 Corvette. My C6 was a dark red so the ceramic spray rainbowed really well. On the Yellow it is next to impossible to see. So, I live in Florida, and we are going to have a week starting tomorrow with highs in the upper 70's to low 80's. I am sure there will be humidity, but nowhere near summer levels. I plane to do a strip wash then a light buffing and then finish it with the surface prep. I will them apply the Spray Ceramic coating to just small areas. So how can I tell when the ceramic is ready to be buffed off so I can move to the next area?
  19. So, what is up with this product. Only a limited amount and not a lot of information on it. Is it different then say, Detail Spray or Waterless Wash?
  20. First what is the shelf like of the UV Ceramic Spray coating and also the Advanced Graphene Spray coating? They have been capped of, did not leave the sprayer in the bottle after use. Second. I bought this car about 3 months ago. I clay bared it, buffed it and applied a coat of glaze then a coat of Patriot Wax. Since than it has had one full wash as it is not driven much, I simply have been able to use the new Waterless Wash and on occasion a coat of Brilliant Glaze and also some time a quick spray of Detail Spray after the waterless wash. So, this is my question. What should I do before I apply the ceramic or graphene? Do I need to buff it again? Do a strip wash and buff or a simply wipe down with the surface prep?
  21. I applied a coat of the Brilliant Glaze before applying Patriot Wax about two months ago. I have since applied a coat just to get the extra pop before a show about three weeks ago. I have done a full two bucket wash two weeks ago and I have also been keeping it up with the Waterless Wash. My question is and I am sure I am correct, has the last coat of the glaze been washed away? If I remember correctly, it does not last long after it is applied.
  22. I have a 2015 Corvette Stingray and was wondering how hard the clear coat is as far as polishing. When I purchased the car about 2 months ago, it had been sitting at a dealership on a very heavily travel road that was near an Interstate. It was water spotted and had a film on it. I polished it the first time with my Adams 15mm Swirl Killer, using the one step polish and the white foam pad. It looked a lot better, but in the sun, there were still some areas that needed more work. A few days later, I decided to go at it again only this time I used the One Step polish and the One step pad. That cleared the major areas, and it looks good, but I noticed this this weekend at a show that there are still some minor swirls and fine scratches on the rear quarter panels and on the hood. I don't like to continue to polish, but it looks as if that is my only option, and I don't want to go with the compound. I realize it is hard to burn the paint with the random orbital, but I still feel a little concerned. Any ideas or pointers. I would take some pictures, but they really don't show.
