ADAMS Graphene spray coating

PA DETAILER

PA DETAILER

DETAILED TODAY?
With the inclusion of Graphene, Adam’s UV Ceramic Spray Coating has evolved! Compared to the original Ceramic Spray Coating, the Graphene variant will be found to have some improved characteristics:

Our longest lasting spray coating yet!
Less prone to water spotting
Higher stain resistance against bugs, saps, droppings, etc.
Higher scratch resistance during the washing process
Easier to apply than previous Ceramic Coatings
Increased depth and clarity to all surfaces
Lower sliding angle with water evacuating at angles less than 10-15°
Higher contact angles averaging 110-118°
Patent Pending, UV Tracing Technology™
>9H Hardness, 1+ years or more of Protection
Free to apply to all Painted Surfaces, Glass, Headlights, Chrome, Trim, Wheels, and even Bed Liners!
 
Looks like they have two versions. A hand applied version and a spray version with the spray version having less durability.

I`d still want an explanation of what it takes to break the bond on a version that is supposed to last 5+ years.

Likely the same thing that breaks the bond of a claimed 5-7 year ceramic; medium polish on foam cutting pad...at most.

In their marketing they note "If installed incorrectly, polishing may be needed" so seems like nothing earth-shattering.

Read somewhere the "7+ years..." comes from "simulated washing cycles" which is likely a best case scenario...Ph Balanced soaps and such, a far cry from 20k miles on freeways in Buffalo, NY.

Soooooo 5000 washes is equal to 14 years if you wash your car every day! And thats using dish soap!

Well, I stand corrected...certainly not the first time!

Still, dish soap & sponge are a far cry from actual usage but well played by them on including `dish soap` to reference the thought that dish soap strips LSP`s.

No sweat, I would certainly love to see how it does in rough wintry climates! But Graphene has been around for about a year in super high end companies and has proven itself bulletproof

I`ve had a graphene coating on my daily for the last 13 months/16k miles in NE Ohio. It has some very nice attributes that may appeal and work well for some but methinks the universal `This is gonna be a ceramic-killing game changer...` is a bit premature. It didn`t come out of winter as well as many of the ceramics I`ve used.

The question is (to me anyway) how much of a role the actual graphene component in the formulation plays in the overall durability/performance over time vs. the other carriers, solvents, misc elements of the overall formulation?

I had some leftover in the bottle and noticed that a couple of months later the dark graphene (I`m guessing) settled out to the bottom of the bottle. Shook it up and applied to hood of a fleet vehicle and it seemed to have no real detrimental affect.

It`ll be interesting to see if graphene proves to be a singularly wonderful product that trumps current coatings or is just another great choice in a sea of great coating choices.

It would be a nice feature if it lasts longer in the bottle without hardening, improved shelf life.

I`m not so sure. When Mothers CMX first came out, Apex Detail tried to remove it with a polish and that didn`t remove it. In the real world most people noticed a drop off in performance after a couple months and it most likely starts to break down. Maybe heat and humidity play a role in it breaking down.
 
I polished off SPS Graphene from my test panel with M205 and a polishing pad. It was gone in the blink of an eye. It’s rated at 5 years.

Doesn’t take much to remove a coating.

I forgot to mention that SPS is a pro coating.

Yeah.............................I leave here. Winter is just terrible. We can`t wait for the kids to finish school so we can leave. Salt destroys wax and sealants in half or less. Hoping CSL/Exo makes a difference this year.
 
I am a big fan of the Adams spray coating I have put it on tons of cars it got a bad wrap online from chemical torture testing I have seen it on several car at the 6 month mark it was still doing well. It is even easier than gloss coat. I am around a car in 10 minutes I specifically use it in direct sun light it allows me to put it on thicker. It has two solvents I’ve notice first is propanol which flashes very fast which allow you to spread it easy it flashes like a panel wipe. The second solvent is most likely methyl acetate it’s the one that rainbows and has distinct smell. In direct sunlight it aids me in put on very thick coating and cooks off the first solvent fast then I get the rainbow normal flash at about a minute and wipe off. Wipe off is an easy as optiseal. If I was in the shade or garaged I would have to use less products.

They have the graphene spray out which I’m looking forward to after I use the remaining bottles. I have the new full coating ordered for my daily going to test it

www. Goographene set graphene dispensed dirt cheap in different solvents public can buy. They have water dispersion I wanted to buy it and add it to C2

if the online crowd hammers away at the graphene spray take with grain of salt

Move to a place where summers are unbearable from May through August? Like Pittsburgh has been. Can’t imagine global warming making this normal. I enjoyed Buffalo’s breeze and mildness during the summer months (took summer classes to stay and be independent).

VA/MD/NC is the current thought. We`d still like have 3 or 4 seasons. I`d trade hot summers for not seeing the sun and everything being grey, cold, and dirty for 4 straight months.
 
Looks like 2 products I`d be interested in, the price seems good, but it`s introductory. I`ll wait to see how feedback from non Adam Fanboys is and how much it goes up after the introductory offer`s gone. The coating sounds especially nice, their produce hype has my attention. They say it`s less prone to water spotting, which is nice. They also say it`s easier to apply then their normal coating, which I haven`t used. But from everything I`ve read on it, it was already super easy to apply. The intro price is really good, if it doesn`t go up a ton in the near future this looks like one of the best coating`s for the price. I suspect one of the good fellows here will have a bottle and make a review thread for one or both.

I don`t hold my breath with claims, but if the spray coating lasts near the year they say, that`ll be a damn good product for my customers who want a coating but only want to pay for a damn spray wax.


*EDIT* While I was typing my post Sizzle Chest posted a pic and said he used it. Thumbs up lol.

I would go look at posts on Adam`s forums but the guys there aren`t exactly impartial, I noticed in their store the new spray already has 5 reviews from today. All of them gave a brand new product 5 star. One said "I just got it so I can`t comment on longevity" but didn`t stop them from rating it 5/5. And one of the reviews is titled "the best hands down!" really? You got a product today and used it once and you already know it`s the best? lol. I know Sizzle will be more through before he makes a claim one way or the other. The coating version has 14 reviews, 13 5 star, and 1 1 star who claims he got a sample before it was out and it`s awful lol. I`ll give Adam`s this, their fanboys really see, to believe what they say about it. IMHO you shouldn`t even be able to rate a coating for at least a few months after it`s out. 5 stars for an $80 coating because it looks nice is a bit ridiculous if you ask me.
