Thanks for the update, Scott! I've got Ethos Resist on my wife's RAV4 (topped with Defy), so I'm definitely interested to see how it performs. 👍

Excellent comparison. Really enjoy watching. Purchased the 303 Graphene Spray when it first came out, so I have the “Old”. Got similar results. It failed after a couple of washes with 2 coats applied according to the directions. The pro to this product is that it can be applied in direct sunlight. As I use the 303 Graphene to use on my daily driver that is parked outside and can’t always find a shady spot to apply a product, this is a definite advantage.

I am liking the Adam's LOT! They might not be the top dog but honestly I'm always satisfied with virtually every product that I've tried from them. Their mega foam car wash is my go to. Can't go wrong for the price of that stuff.

looked like all the water spots were easily removed when washed....my experience with graphene products is that the spotting occurs - but is easily removed!!! does not stain the surface when compared to coatings/toppers/si02 sprays. the appearance of the spotting is more "dust like"
imho. that is the benefit i have experienced

This is probably the most scientific test out of all the others on Youtube. Thank you so much for this as I do not have the means to test all these products and log such detailed information.
Maybe you can get ridge wallet or square space to sponsor you which they have nothing to do with the detailing industry!

Love the content man! Hey would you be doing any paint protecant/ wax tests in price brackets rather than their chemical makeup? I am seeing regular products beating the newcomers like graphene for endurance.

The one thumbs down has to be “The Organizer” lol

Just two weeks, that’s disappointing for some of these.

Hi, I applied 303 Graphene 7 weeks ago here in the UK. We have had cool weather around 12deg c and lots of rain. the protection is still holding up but considering it states 12+ months on the bottle I would have expected it to perform better. My car is not garaged so its out in all elements 24/7. My 6 week update is going live on my channel this evening at 19:00 GMT if its of interest

Thanks for another great update Scott! I have a technical question that may inspire you to do a video in the future. I currently use Nano Age 9H and have served me well only needing to boost it every 2 years but, now I need to remove the coating in order to wet-sand some imperfections and possibly add clear to increase depth. This is a modern classic Porsche with color/clear coat and repainting it is out of the question to preserve originality. What would be the best way to remove the ceramic coating from the paint? Will a light wet sanding be sufficient or can I use some sort of solvent?

LOL at303 sending you "new" product and it's doing the exact same thing. Jesus man these companies, the balls.

[Maverick]

Any thoughts on the Turtle Wax Max Wax and Turtle Wax Flex wax? Hard to beat for the price if they last a decent amount of time.

Awesome videos as always!

[runagun]

Please Try Tec584 New Graphene spray would like to how it does in your test.

Hello. I covered my car with Turtle Wax GRAPHENE Flex Wax. Which hand wash shampoo will support the graphene coating? Thanks for the answer.

[andhen]

I'm doing a tw flex wax longevity test on my daily driver too. On week 3 now so pretty much the same time frame as you. Will be interesting to see the difference( if any). I've heard that towel drying the paint after rinse will in some cases show a more realistic hydrophobicity as the soap can leave residue. Ever heard of that?

[robertb]

What if you did a 1-5 rating on each one.
5= looking great
4= showing signs of weakness
3= looking weak
2= showing signs of failure
1= failed

[ralphharding]

Why are all these graphene coatings failing at water spots? Any idea? Any suggestion at addressing water spots?

[Ipixtt]

Is there a way to add Migliore Forte Coating to this test cycle. It is way more expensive and almost no real feedback on longevity.

[chadh]

Looking good, TW Graphene paste wax looks like it's struggling a little, why did I buy that? Man??
