Hi Matthew, depending on the manufacturing dates, the 4oz and 8oz bottles of Ceramic Boost might be version 1 of the formula or version 2 (current) of the formula. The white 12oz bottle with the Ceramic Line label is absolutely version 2. Gallons and half gallons of Ceramic Boost are all version 2 as well. Version 2, the current version, began shipping out in August of 2018.

For the Ceramic Spray Coating bottles, those are the same formula, with the white 8oz bottle being a newer bottle design when we launched the full ceramic line in March of 2019. Ceramic Spray Coating was updated when we introduced the addition of the UV tracer to it in November of 2019.

Hope that clears things up 😎

Yep, as Michael and Chris stated, you can re-use towels with Graphene Detail Spray without issue, as long as you wash and maintain the towels properly.

A little more in-depth for anyone curious...
 
Products that we DO NOT recommend re-using towels or applicators after application:
- Ceramic Paint Coating 50ml
- Ceramic Wheel Coating 50ml
- Ceramic Black Trim Restorer 50ml
- Graphene Ceramic Coating 60ml

The coatings above can and will harden into the towels and applicators, and you will be able to feel them become more coarse. They can absolutely scratch vehicles if you attempt to re-use them on paint. Once my suede towel/single soft/borderless gray/edgeless utility towel is used to remove one of the ceramic coatings above, I downgrade the towel to cleaning my garage floor, wiping up spills, etc. If you are very careful and fold the towels into fourths and only use certain sides, you MAY be able to use any unused "sides" of the towel on a second vehicle, but you always risk the chance of a hardened folded edge contacting the vehicle and scratching it, so it's usually not worth saving the $5-$10 or so to me to risk damaging a vehicle.

With our Ceramic Spray Coating, UV Ceramic Spray Coating, Ceramic Coating Wax, and Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating, I have not had issue re-using towels and applicators, provided that I soak them for a few hours after use in some Microfiber Revitalizer or Towel & Pad Revitalizer mixed into a bucket of water, and then wash them properly (as in how Chris linked the article above). The spray coatings do not seem to harden and crystallize into the towels and applicators as easily as the glass bottle coatings above.
 
Lastly, our Sio2 and graphene-oxide infused products are safe to re-use towels as well, but the towels can eventually become hydrophobic and repel liquids as Michael mentioned. These products include:
- Ceramic Boost
- Ceramic Liquid Wax
- Ceramic Waterless
- CS3
- Graphene Detail Spray

I hope that clears things up and makes it a little easier to understand 

To add to what Chris said, you could certainly put a layer of Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating on top of your existing coating to sort of refresh and re-up the coating; however, you will want to do a very thorough wash and Surface Prep at a minimum before applying the Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating. It's also important to note that it will not last as long on the surface since it is trying to bond to an already cured layer of ceramic coating, rather than bare clear coat. You could then maintain with Graphene Detail Spray. 

To reduce some of the confusion, here are some general combinations for maintenance-type products. Keep in mind that these are not concrete, and you can try out different maintenance products to see which you like best!
Graphene Ceramic Coating and Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating will be best maintained with Graphene Detail Spray, since they're all in the graphene oxide family of products, but you can use SiO2 maintenance products like CS3 and Ceramic Boost as well with no issue. UV Ceramic Paint Coating, UV Ceramic Wheel Coating, UV Ceramic Spray Coating, Ceramic Coating Wax, and Ceramic Spray Coating will be best maintained with SiO2-based products since they're all in the SiO2 family of products. These would include CS3, Ceramic Boost, Ceramic Waterless, Ceramic Liquid Wax, Rinse + Coat, etc. Using Graphene Detail Spray would be fine as well. Paint Sealant, a synthetic sealant would be best paired with H2O Guard & Gloss, another product in the sealant family, but you could use Graphene Detail Spray and SiO2-based products too. Waxes like Americana Paste Wax, Buttery Wax, and Patriot Wax would pair best with Spray Wax or Detail Spray.  Then there are a few wildcards like Detail Spray, Slick & Slide, and Waterless Wash. Detail Spray and Slick & Slide have small amounts of polymer protection and can be paired with any of the above with nice results. For Detail Spray, keep in mind that while it will not hurt coatings, it's not necessarily the best product to use on them, and may slightly alter some of the hydrophobic behavior of coatings. Waterless Wash works excellent on any of the above as well. 

Thanks for the tips.
 
Sorry for the thread resurrection, but I have a Camaro SS 1LE with a vinyl hood.
 
I love Adams, but the VRT is the weakest product they make. I have sent pic after pic of VRT running down my paint after rain to Adams. I can't imagine a worse suggestion than applying VRT to a large scale area like a hood.
 
Anything else available?

Having invested about $2k in the last 60 days with Adam's products, it was a swift kick in the nuts to hear about this new 2-step product that has been in the works for over a year.
 
Thanks guys.
