Thanks for the videos Scott! With so many products out there, it’s helpful to weed out the junk.

[mikesloper]

Thanks for your time & investment reviewing these coatings Scott, its nice to know I picked one of the 'stand out's' & my son's car should be protected until the summer when we'll review & re-apply. Big Respect Sir !!

I honestly never really bought into the whole "graphene" thing. It's marketing in my opinion. Graphene is extremely expensive so most of these products probably have very minimal graphene content in them to do much. However, some of these companies are still selling at a reasonable price, so I'm fine with it as long as they perform well.

[davidsmith]

I am beginning to think it is a market strategy but these companies are inventing great products miles away from the early 90s era Of Products My arms can remember putting rain dance paste wax on and after wiping the product off your arms become sore Getting their product off thanks for the great videos

I purchased the Foretoo 10H based on your last report. I will tell you that it is the easiest Graphene that I have applied to date. The slickness and gloss is outstanding. I need to check the Gloss as it has cured for a couple of days. My base was 94 ish. At this point, I guess that I could use this as a topper as well? It's that easy! My last Graphene was Glassparency but it works a bit harder and I wouldn't think of using it as a topper. I had a bottle in Florida that separated. The bottle is all cloudy and coated weird. My fault, I left it in the garage. (needs to be stored in a cool place) Need to read the label.. Thanks for all you do!

The SPS Graphene Coating looks very impressive at the 9-month mark.

[christianmrkhansen]

IGL EZ looks good, ill be applying it in the next couple of weeks. Excited for it 😊

[peterjurenovskis]

Hey Scott, I really enjoy your work and the effort you put into each one to give us information we can use to improve our game. While the longevity tests for water beading/sheeting, the other piece we all could use would be to see how the gloss degrades over time. You do a great job in panel prep. In the future could you take gloss readings and do a before and after? Keep up the great work.

I'm at 1 1/2 years on my Adams graphene coating, and my car sits outside although covered when not driven, it needs to be updated with the new formula. Glad to see it hanging tough here

[j.k.]

Thanks Scott. As always, much appreciated 👍

[MarylandDevin]

My car is a Frankenstein of coatings for testing various things and using up extra product. I have Ethos Matrix, Matrix Pro, and UK 3.0 on it currently. SPS Graphene is always impressive. Is it difficult to obtain? I'm considering Resist as a sealant option to replace The Last Coat when mine runs out as lasting 9+ months is impressive.

[ChristopherLorine]

I've used Glasparancy Plus Graphene and have great results. I am at the two year mark and still have plenty of hydrophobic properties and the car is easier to clean than it used to be, especially the wheels. My 911 kicks out a lot of brake dust and the GP Graphene lets me power wash it away.

[rainzer]

For the price foretoo seems like a killer deal it stood out when the soap was washed off

[vasileiospetropoulos]

Great Scott so do you recommen then the flex wax? And to spray on every 3 4 months as a top up? Do you recommended it?

[Purenrg]

I used TW MAX Wax and topped it with Flex wax on both my rides. It does a good job and then I reapply at 6 months.

[boskosdoghouse]

I'm sorry but TW needs to get their (insert bad word here) together!!!
They fail on many if not all levels

[kdlp]

Maybe the weeks/months ahead will show, but for now I'm not really convinced that Graphite is any better than standard ceramic coatings. I don't see much difference in the initial shine and as noted the longevity seems to be about the same... at least for as long as tested thus far. I have 3 DD's... 2 with ceramic coatings (SONAX and Art De Shine) and 1 with graphene coating (Adams). They all sit outside (in a rain forest) and they all appear to be holding up equally after about 1 year. Maybe time will tell? And to be honest, I forget what the bug selling point was for graphene.... longevity, right?

[itachi]

I have commented in your recommendations video but i had a conversation with adams about their graphene spray. they stated the flash time was actually 5 to 7 minutes and not the 2 minutes stated on the bottle. my shop tried it with a coworkers car and its been beading very well for the last 3 months.

[zazzn]

I'm curious, can you put a coating on top of a failing older coating. For instance, I have some graphene on my audi and I just want to spray the tw ceramic spray to refresh and keep what i have left. of my graphine. I really don't like applying normal ceramics, because of the time and I don't have a garage ATM to use.

[andhen]

Think its mostly marketing. However some of these products preform very well and are reasonably priced so I don't really care.
