I don’t think DS will ever be replaced.  I have bottles all over my house, and a few gallons.  Use it for everything.  When the Graphene DS came out, i was excited and loaded up.  Blew thru a gallon,  but now rarely use it at all.

The pink stuff is my go to

Very cool and definitely full circle.  I am not sure, but wonder, if they are the same formula.  The website says the anniversary one is a new formula.
 

 Also after washing with the anniversary edition the other day,  the water sheeted off my Graphene Ceramic coated car, instead of beading off.  This made me wonder what was different with it and the blue shampoo and mega foam, since they bead off.  I dunno 🤷‍♂️

Like an advanced spray coating?

I remember that FB live as well and this seems legit, we shall see.

Mantis-you have to try the Graphene CS3!  It is mind blowing,  i feel like its better than OG CS3, and Graphene DS.  Just my opinion!  But its amazing 

Sweet rig.  I’m gonna guesstimate 1950/1951 Chevy Pumper.   Definitely not still in service.  Something we would probably call a “parade piece”  

Joe said in the video that is was close to Mega Foam,  I feel as Mega Foam is more powerful than Car Shampoo.

As far as the seal, I have no idea,  at first I was thinking it was going to be like Rinse and Coat,  but its a polymer, not a ceramic.

Either way looks pretty cool to me, I plan on trying it out!

You use car shampoo or mega foam, with something like the cockpit brush, or truck brush to clean.

Also once absolutely completely Dry, you can use Ceramic Spray Coating or Fabric Protector, to add protection 

I’ve had this happen,  where i hung my bottle on a side mirror, and some leaked and crystallized.  Lots of water and soap did the trick,  basically washing it again,  i know this may not be your answer, but basically “The solution to pollution is dilution”

haha

Yup, my daughter loved it!  And its full of suds and lubrication.  Works extremely well.  I love it

I’m sorry I wasn’t clear how did you like it’s performance 

I loved the performance, used it a couple times now,  it’s awesome.  I did  write up on the Graphene Shampoo thread

Everything you mentioned will work fine.

However things like GDS, Ceramic Boost, CS3, would be the best.

You absolutely can apply the Spray coating every few months. I remember Adam actually talking about that in a video

Sun and heat actually help in the curing process as well, just fyi

Hey Rich,

     If you have access to Facebook, you can go back and watch the live video from Wednesday,  they did a whole tour and what not, its an hour long if I remember correctly 

Pictures would be best as always.

I have had dots from wind carrying the product before.

Chris may be on to something....

Ive been using GDS since it came out, 5 different cars, whites, grey, navy blue, black.  Drying aid and on a dry vehicle, literally spray and wipe and zero issues.

I also wonder what your previous LSP is, and wonder if it’s reacting with that in a weird manor???

Not today but a few days ago I played around with the new One Step Metal Polish.  Worked extremely well!

Before

Waterless wash only...

After polish

Spray wax is nice for a week or so and does smell amazing,  but I am with Rich,  that Graphene Detail Spray is absolutely amazing!

I would and I do machine polish my new Vehicles.  I have also been fortunate with 2 new vehicles over the last 2 years,  that they were in excellent condition, and I stopped the dealer from cleaning them, before the swirls were installed.  

And definitely if you will be coating them, you want them to be in top notch condition, before locking it in.

After a strip wash,  I use iron remover, before clay.  Then polish, coating prep spray,  and lastly the coating.

Hope this helps

I agree with the guz,  no one washes their vehicle repeatedly with crazy heavy duty degreasers.

There are a few great youtubers out there, I’m not here to promote anyone, but they do more real world testing, with regular soaps, or true longevity tests.  These guys i trust and they are showing more real world scenarios,  plus i like testing, and I play with different things myself, as do most of us.

For example...On the previous version of Adams spray coating, it came out Black Friday 2019, so not the graphene, It has been on my daily driven 2001 Silverado for 8 months.  I have washed the truck twice per month, 1 bucket, Adam’s blue car shampoo, 10” wash pad, dried with the ultra plush drying towel, no toppers, no boost, no details spray...nothing.  And the coating (spray) is still beading like day 1, well day like 14, since I didn’t put water on it for a couple weeks.   It lives outside 24/7,  drives 50/50 country roads and high speed highways outside of Washington DC.  
 

Now, it was prepped, Clayed, 2 step compound and polish, prep spray, 1 layer of coating, 24hrs later, ceramic boost.  But that is all.

As far as the graphene coating,  I’ve been using it since it came out and its still holding up on another vehIcle just fine,  but its only been 3-4 months I think, and its doing great!

Welcome,  and glad things are going well!  We have all walked in your shoes at some point or another!  Boy it’s also crazy how far Hyundai has come in 20 years!  Whip looks great, keep up the good work! 

Copy that, I do understand turning down the purchase...the price tag is hefty.  Allen Brothers, I will look into it, thanks bud

Mmmmm creme brûlée!  My mouth is water!

Wait a second... you turned down wagyu?! 
 

oh yea the nox looks great 😂👍

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 everyone 

I wish you all the best past, present, and future!

As Ray said good riddance to 2020,  but we aren’t out of the woods yet,  I know way too many people who have, or have had the damn virus 🦠 and a couple of our retirees have passed away from it.   Please be safe, healthy, an happy.

Just logged in, it’s been a while, then your post pops up.  Great news and thanks for your hard work!  Hope all is well!  
 

Merry Christmas to all, good luck on the drawling as well!

(Please remove me from the drawling, someone surely needs it more than me!)

And here is also a shot of her van,  it is Adams Ceramic Coated...

Washed and dried with GDS

I have also been blown away by the GDS!  Absolutely love it and smells great too!

Here is my wifes NON coated 2006 Honda Crv.  This picture was when the product first came out,  car was a little dusty, not dirty, rinsed with pressure washer and dried with GDS

Graphene is going to be a lot of places soon, besides just car care...theres a lot of info on the web and youtube

I feel Adam’s has been extremely transparent on the topic,  here are two videos that may help

I recently bought and used the glass sealant WITHOUT watching adams YouTube video and let me tell you, LEARN FROM OTHERS MISTAKES. 

 

I washed, glass cleaned, applied the sealant BUT... DID NOT go over the sealant with glass cleaner to finish. 

 

Overnight. Came out and STREAKS EVERYWHERE. I hate myself. 

 

So today (the next day) I'm trying to buff the hell out of it using the glass cleaner, IT'S WORKING... but definitely gotta use some force to remove these streaks. 

You could also try and re apply the sealant, to sort of reactivate it, may also help with removal.

Glass boost works great in that scenario as well, if you have any on hand
