Is there a shelf life of the product? I recoated in February and the beading is already gone. I wonder if the bottle I am using is old and this is the cause of my issues. I decontaminated, clayed, polished, and cleaned the panel before applying. The ambient temp was about 55 degrees. I also coated my windshield and that disappeared just as fast Thanks

Start over on a product that should last 18 months? Seems like a strange suggestion.

I experimented last week. I first washed with graphene shampoo, then strip wash but realized I didn't follow directions afterwards on the strip wash. Both made little to no change. I did use a Clay towel with lube and the water started sheeting a bit. Which was a positive. I did try a APC diluted 3: 1 and that did nothing too. To be honest my APC is spraynine. I wasn't sure what this would do so I diluted it to be safe. Suggestions on what to do next and maybe a suggestion for a specific apc to use?

I have some APC that I can try. I will give that a go. thanks

As another point of reference, I decontaminated, clay, polished, then coated with Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating Advanced on my 2022 Honda Accord on Dec 9th. Haven't been able to wash it much do to the weather I washed at the end of December and just last night. I only wash it at home. Front end, hood roof top of trunk bead up great. Anything below the door handles on the sides won't even sheet water, it just clings. I truly believe the coating is still there but clogged. I have purchased your strip wash and Ceramic wash, wondering what is best to try next. Also I live in Central NY snow belt, the coat the roads with really nasty stuff here. The reason I switched to ceramic coatings from sealants is I was having the same issue. So I am thinking that I may need a more harsh wash to keep coating clear.

hmmm. Isn't the Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating Advanced part of the Grahpene infused lineup?

It's not poor beading, it's actually pretty good and aids in drying but the problem I am having is clogging. Anything I put on the car clogs very quickly. My plan is to change my soap and wash process.

Hi again. Is the soap I am using contributing to the clogging? Is the drying aid ok too?

I use 3D pink car soap currently. I was using Meguiars gold class and got similar results. I only started using the drying aid after the beading started to fail. It was TW ceramic wet wax. I wash about once a week unless there is continuous rain in the forecast. I just bought Graphene Shampoo so this is good. Is it ok to continue to use 3D pink?

I coated my 2016 toyota highlander back in April of this year. Washed, decontaminated, clay towel, polish, panel wipe prior to coating. This product is amazing and I am very happy with the results. In September maybe earlier I noticed that the areas behind the wheels below the doorhandle and rear of vehicle didn't bead up like the other areas of the car. I wash it once a week unless we get a ton of continuous rain. I applied some drying aids to keep the protection up as I thought that the coating had failed. Last week I decided to recoat. So I decontaminated with iron remover and when I rinsed that off the water beading came back to life, even more when I used the clay towel after the iron remover. I have been reading about clogging and it seems to be real especially with what happened to me. I would like to know the best way to unclog this coating without damaging it. I was thinking of putting a little Adams iron remover in with my foam cannon once a month. Thoughts? PS the same thing happens to my Honda as well.
