    The effect will be for about as long as the coating lasts, assuming routine maintenance. It's more of a richening of the color vs darkening, and more noticeable on matte, just don't want you to be surprised.

     

    Wait 24 hours and indoors prior to driving or applying any toppers, then 5-7 days before washing it.

     

    Post some pictures!

    Another question is... 

    Should I use suede towel or microfiber towel to leveling/clear the coat or both or which one is better? 

    Thanks again!

    While spray coating would've been easier, yes, you should still be ok. Make sure to shake the bottle well before use. Note that it will probably darken the color some, but it won't make it glossy (nor would spray). Be careful to apply it evenly and level completely to avoid high spots, and fix any you do have quickly. 

    Noted. Thank you for your prompt reply. 

    The "darkening effect" will be permanent or just for few days/months? 

    After 24-36 hours, my car is ready to use or do need another day in the garage?

    Welcome to the forums, Jackie! Be sure to post a welcome message so we can get to know you. To your questions...

     

    Did you get the spray or traditional form? Is it matte or gloss?

     

    1) It's best to go by feel vs. time. When you can very lightly drag a plush towel across the surface and it's slick, it's too soon. When it becomes tacky and the towel catches, then it's time to remove. Higher temps and humidity will make that time go faster (it's summer there, right?), and it can be a fine line between slick and tacky, so check every 30 seconds or so. Once you do a couple panels you might have a better idea of time unless the weather changes dramatically.

    2 and 3) Thoroughly wash, preferably with a Strip Wash, to remove any prior wax or sealants, dry, then use the Surface Prep. If it's matte, do not polish. If it's gloss, one quick pass max might work, but you need to be careful; skipping might be best given your experience level.

     

    I bought the traditional Graphene Coating 60ml. My freshly wrapped vinyl is glossy satin. More to in between glossy & matte which is satin. Should be okay, right? 

  4. Hi. I have my Adam's Graphene coating on the way & plan to coat my vinyl wrapped car next month. I have some "general" questions. 

    1) how many minutes should I leave the coating on surface before wipe them out? Please mind that I live in Malaysia.

    2) is there any specific explanation on how should I prep my wrapped car before the coating process? Try to Google search & most of the preparation process showing on painted surface. Do I need to clay bar my vinyl wrap? 😱

    3) can i just wash/clean my car thoroughly & just use precoat/surface prep to remove oil/grease from the surface? Without polishing etc
