Adam's Advanced Graphene Ceramic Coating (Standard Kit) - 10H Graphene Coating for Auto Detailing, 9+ Years of Car Protection & Patented UV Technology

The media could not be loaded. I was always scared to try ceramic because of how difficult it can be to mess up. I gotta say this was not difficult. Labor intensive? Very. Difficult? No.This is a solid weekend project. My flow was wash>iron removal>synthetic clay>polish>strip wash>surface prep>ceramic. I had already done a two stage correction when I got it, but since then I've only used waxes and sealants. The polishing brought it back and got out all the new swirls.As far as the graphene, I watched the Adam's livestream of how to use their advanced graphene and it taught me a lot. I applied it, waited for the rainbow to dissipate, and waited for it to sweat. Then I used the suede towel, which felt grabby on the surface as they described in the video to level it out. Then I used the white towel to buff it off. The coating itself only took about 3 hours to do the painted surfaces. I applied in a crosshatch pattern in smaller sections along the body lines to ensure it wasn't sitting for too short or too long, because my environment was uncomfortably hot and humid which decreased the cure time. The UV part was pretty useless on my car. Maybe more helpful on a lighter shade.Ignoring the prep, I give the actual application of the product a 7/10 on the easiness scale. It really wasn't hard.It definitely gives the car a very high gloss. It is incredibly shiny. It's not deep like a carnauba wax though.If you're willing to give up the better part of a weekend, you can have a coating that will last years and save thousands DIYing it.It should be noted that per their videos, you can use this stuff on many things. Any exterior surface of the car, glass cook tops, shower doors... You name it. I used exactly one bottle on an Audi Q7 and S5, covering both exteriors completely minus the wheels. Keep in mind that the applicators and towels are one time use. They'll get crusty when the ceramic dries. So if you wanna do multiple coats or different things on different days, have some extra applicators and towels ready. Also, once you open the bottle it will start curing, so close it in between panels and use it promptly.Update: Washed it for the first time and the hydrophobicity is amazing. I completely dried the car towel free with only a small battery powered blower, the kind you would use to blow sawdust off a workbench or something. If I had a real leaf blower I could probably dry this thing in less than a minute.3 month update: Hydrophobicity is minimally degraded. I'll use a synthetic clay mitt to bring it back. Car still easily dries with a blower. Also want to add you may find some information on the internet saying you don't need to level the coating on plastic, like the gray stuff on bumpers. You absolutely must level and remove the coating just like on paint or glass or you will get white streaks that are essentially impossible to remove. I used it on the plastic rockers on the S5 and the entire grille of the Q7, which has a ton of gray plastic. I thoroughly cleaned and surface prepped, and then applied the ceramic in the same manner as the rest of the car, although deciding when to level and remove it is a guessing game because it won't rainbow or sweat. It deepened the color and restored it to how it looked new. No more chalky, oxidized plastic trim!One year update: This stuff is still going strong. Water beading is still outstanding, I can still dry the car completely with a leaf blower, and the shine is immaculate. I have not touched up the coating at all except for a handful of applications of Adam's graphene detail spray. I never used a clay mitt on it as I said I would, and apparently that's not good for the coating anyway so I'm glad I didn't. Thoroughly impressed with how it has held up after a year. I would not hesitate to use this again, but apparently I don't need to. I went ahead and finally did my brake calipers and wheels, and wow. The brake dust just rinses right off. It's amazing. I really don't even need to touch them.

I bought 2 of these kits because I didn't think that small bottle would be enough to cover a large 2024 Super Duty truck. I watched several videos on you tube before taking on this task. I know my brother paid over a thousand bucks to have his done but for me I try to do things my self. First thing I done was wash it extra good, then used the prep product first. Kept the truck in a controlled place and kept the temperature around 70 degrees. It took me 2 evenings to do this following the instructions. I used the ceramic covering sparingly but covered all of it properly. Spent extra time making sure to cover all the plastic and left some of the product on it as it made it look better. Also used it on the rubber moldings. I did cover the back glass but not the rest. I ended up not needing the second box kit, I had enough. My truck is only about 5 months old and it looks greater now. I also covered the wheels. Seems to stay cleaner and easy to clean. Well worth it. Did a lot of research on the different brands as this one seemed to come out on top of several. The main thing is to make sure it is very clean and no scratches. I did not buff out my truck as some will do, being only 5 months old as mine is, I had been careful not to let it get scratched yet. Very fine product. I now have a second complete kit, so I will save it for summer and may do my wife's car then. The kit has every thing you need except the cleaner to wash it. I had my own secret cleaner being a retired janitor I knew what would be safe but have an industrial clean result. You may wont to go out and buy 2 extra microfiber wiping towels even though they give you 2 in the kit. It will come in handy to wipe it off better with extra clean rags. It says to give it 48 hours to dry but read some where it could take up to a week to cure completely. So I kept it out of any rain for a least 4 days. It's all good. I recommend this product kit.

Product takes time to apply but the results were amazing. Time will tell as to whether it holds up like other products I used. Given testing I’ve seen I expect it to hold up well.

Excellent product, used it on now 4 vehicles. After applying it, I found my best results, was to take it off after about 5 minutes, and then I do not get it wet for at least 24 hours. So far that's been my best combination for the best results.

Great product. Finished look is excellent! Overall satisfaction will depend on durability.

You get what you pay for, but prep is everything. I've tried several spray-on ceramics in the past, but this stuff is amazing and extremely forgiving AS LONG AS YOU HAVE DONE YOUR PART ON THE PREP WORK. I did give this coating every possible chance to succeed. Properly washed and decontaminated the surface, lightly compounded and polished, used the included surface prep (basically alcohol-based wax remover), and when about applying the coating in my 67 degree air-conditioned shop. I found out I could easily work a full panel at a time instead of just the 2' x 2' section they recommend. Had it been much hotter, that recommendation would probably be accurate. I had my own UV light, and it absolutely shows exactly where you have thick or thin spots in the coating. As for working time, there is a graceful window should you wait too long. I exactly this on a quarter panel, as my dog needed a break that went longer than expected. I came back and all I had to do was lightly rehydrate the panel with a touch of new coating, and it wiped right off with no issues. I can't get over how much easier this is to work with than some of the spray coatings I had been using. I'm very impressed, and highly recommend the Adams Advanced Graphene Coating. And by the way...That little tiny bottle; yeah, I put two medium coats on my full sized truck WITH A CAMPER and still have 1/2 a bottle left over!!! I'm really happy with this stuff!!
