@Tank My graphene stuff finally arrived, and I applied it yesterday. I have a ceramic coating and have used Adams and other spray detailers for years with no complaints. This graphene stuff hits different. The paint has an unexplainable deeper shine. I am stoked with how it came out. Thanks for the tip.

Im a detail geek and bought a bottle to try. Did my wifes white lexus. and wasnt that impressed. My vehicles all get washed with a shine enhancer soap and bead maker so im used to them being nice and shiny.

Okay.... So question for application of this detail spray. Had the car ceramic coated brand new, touched up every six months, and another full coating last year. The direct sun and dust out here really fuck with cars out here. It's 4 years old now and the paint still looks good.

Anyway... Is the application of this stuff simply spray on a clean surface then wipe off? It can't be that easy. I always try to take it to spray washes with the ceramic soap (allegedly) and it still shines up nice, but I can tell it's getting close to time for another ceramic application.

Is there one of these detail sprays that is better for ceramic coating than the other?

I just wash, blow dry, and then apply the detail spray. A little goes a long way; from my experience, the detail spray enhances the shine. You can also do a detail with it without a wash if the car isn't super dusty. Microfiber towel and detail spray will freshen up a car that's been sitting for a week or two. Works for me but everyone has their own likes and dislikes as well as technique.

Yep this. Only thing to watch out for is direct sunlight and heat when applying. Avoid that.

Wonder if it because it’s a white car. I used it on cherry red and black and like ahavasu said it just makes the paint look richer. And smooth as polished marble.

Our vehicles are also not ceramic coated. But getting a quote to do the truck and car tomorrow. I run both through a local car wash place here that wipes down after. The ease of it is very appealing but those hanging brushes and wipe cloth material things inside the car washes fuck up paint over time. Micro swirls and shit. Drives me crazy. Time for a ceramic or at least professional wheel buff.

I also used it on my abalone white metallic Escalade and it had the same effect as the red car. Much deeper shine.....very noticable difference in my case
I also like the way the graphene feels to the touch than the ceramic waxes. To me, the ceramics feel kind of sticky and the microfiber towels feel like they are dragging
and the graphene is super slick.

I use it on the glass too ;)

My friend bought a Black Hummer and a Mobil car wash guy left it looking like your MB for $40!
Black is a PITA but looks so good done right.

We wondered how in the hell did he do it?
