DMoc20 4 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Hello, Is it recommended to do 2 coats of the Adam's Graphene Ceramic Coating? If so how long should I let the first coat sit before applying the second? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 falcaineer 4,387 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 One layer is sufficient, use the UV light to ensure you get full, even coverage. With coatings, the law of diminishing returns applies, so adding 2+ layers doesn't equate to 2x+ protection. Do proper prep, maintain regularly, and you'll get the best, longest lasting results.

0 Dan@Adams 4,023 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I agree that I only apply one coat for the Graphene Ceramic Coating. For the non-graphene coatings like UV Paint and UV Wheel Coating, if you do want to apply a second coat, our chemist recommends applying 1-2 hours after finishing the first coat. You could try this with the Graphene Ceramic Coating, but the second coat may not bond as well to itself. I plan to try this soon on a few rear panels on my car that are in need of being compounded, polished, and re-coated since it's been 2 or 3 years now and 30-40k miles of driving in every weather condition in that time frame!

0 DMoc20 4 Posted Tuesday at 10:37 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 10:37 PM Awesome thanks for the tips. I think I'm going to do the full detail this weekend. Fortunately I'm working from home still so I can keep it garaged and away from teh elements for however long it needs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fortunately I'm working from home still so I can keep it garaged and away from teh elements for however long it needs. Minimum 4 hours for the Spray version, 24 for traditional/small bottle. Then wait 5-7 days before washing. And definitely post some pics when you're done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
