What is Graphene Ceramic Coating Maintenance?

[Silverbugeye]

Should we still use CS3 or Ceramic Boost?

 

Will Adams be coming out with a new Graphene Boost line?

Silica-infused products like CS3, Ceramic Boost, etc will still work well with Graphene Ceramic Coating. I don't have any info on potential new products at this time.

Daaammnnnniiittttt....it's here before I did my (ceramic) spring cleaning.  That means I HAVE to buy it and use it!!!  UUUggghhhhh

Of course just after I tried slick and slide this comes out... What is the recommendation for the applicator and towels after use with the graphene ceramic spray coating? Should they be discarded or can they be washed and used again? Thanks

I didn't get to test this one, but @Dan@Adams did, at least, so I'll defer to him. My guess is treat like ceramic coating towels and if washed, do not reintroduce to paint. But I think this is black liquid, so stains may be something to consider. Dan?

Should I expect immediate flash in Florida? Apply in small sections 2x2?

I was able to test this one. You'll have a longer time before the product flashes than with the SiO2 Ceramic Coatings. Feel comfortable applying to an entire panel before leveling/buffing off the residue.

 

Treat the applicator and towels just the same as with the SiO2 Ceramic Coatings. Don't reintroduce them to painted surfaces.

When I tested the Graphene coating several months ago if I remember correctly it seemed to rainbow pretty quickly.

How’s the shine/gloss compared to ceramic? 
 

if water spots are not a concern (seems to be the big graphine selling point), is graphine still the way to go when depth/shine is my #1 concern?

Graphene still spots.  Shine and gloss are pretty comparable.  Most of that will come from the polishing step.  The hydrophobic behavior and slickness are better than a ceramic.
