What was an ad for Adams Graphene Spray Coating became an ad for how great Extreme Solutions Bug Off is.

[@flashfalgui]

if I recall correctly, this "Graphene Ceramic SPRAY Coating" will only last 1 year. Their "Graphene Ceramic Coating," (in a little bottle, applied like a ceramic coating), however, will last 7+ years.

[@nicksdragon6929]

Pretty impressive show Jimbo. Keep it up. Just love your honesty.

[@notalexiwnl]

The spray coating doesn’t guarantee 7 years, just 1 year. The traditional bottle coating advertises 7 years though

[@MrKennyanders]

I wander if they printed that on the bottle

[@bryansmith9979]

kenny anders i just got mine a couple days ago. I don’t remember if its on there or not. I do remember them advertising that the spray was only a 12 month coating though

[@jdisdetermined]

How could a professional detailer even think a "graphene ceramic" spray and wipe *spray sealant* is going to be a 7 year durability product? That's scary to me, that he could get that confused.. 😲

[@brianhunt914]

Even the Adams videos say it's 1year..

[@AAAlvarezXIII]

The 50ml coating leaves a thicker, durable and longer lasting protective film over your vehicle paint and has a higher graphene/ceramic content than the spray coating. But it requires a bit more effort to remove residue with a towel after application.

[@gabevillarreal96]

Every single time I get a notification that you just uploaded a new video I automatically give it a thumbs up first then watch it after because I already know what we always get from you! Phenomenal content demonstrations comparisons and commentary! Keep doing your thing my friend and I will 100% keep supporting the channel and spreading the word👍🏼

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Thank you. I appreciate it

[@bahlowwings]

For everybody that wants to know. I emailed adams. And he confirmed that there is UV protection

[@ulyssesluevano257]

Awesome video as always! I just used this on a customer’s car and they loved the results. I’m pretty impressed with the water beading it’s producing.

[@damiansutube]

Thanks for doing this video. I appreciate your time, effort and money to help us compare products. I’ve watched and learned so much from all these videos and channels in such a short time. I would have never thought turtle wax is killing it the way they are and such a great value proposition. A week ago I would have purchased F11 top coat! Haha I feel like the Adams graphene spray and TW ICE and Hybrid solutions are the best value for performance out currently. I’m going to perform my first clay, compound, polish, coat, and sealant as soon as possible!

[@tdawg719]

It didn’t just fail at the end. Certain chemicals leaves a residue or surfactant. The Graphene will expel it from the surface. I bet if you were to take a soap like Carpro reset and rewatch the surface with that soap after that last test then it would react like normal again.

[@neildorrity9507]

Need to try the Ethos Graphene, totally phenomenal and you can't even smell it, plus the coating so far has been fantastic, along with The Last Coat Cera-trim this is an excellent product also for trim and tires with ceramic, finally turned the corner on the tlc product

[@timmysuggs2072]

Jimbo, I look forward to your videos each week! I have been waiting for you to test one of the Graphene products. I would be curious how the Ethos Graphene product compares.

[@Itbopie]

I bought it when you released the video. Finally used it, it works great! Easy on easy off. Cant wait to see how it holds up.

[@Blackzillia]

How has it held up?

[@Tigersmundo]

*Graphene has been VERY impressive overall for the performance and price standpoint!*

[@stevenkohanic3075]

Only video where the blower didn’t cry it’s heart out

Can't wait to see who does the first 3-way Graphene Coating shootout... Artdeshine vs. Adam's vs. Ethos.

[@ShineYourLightDetailing]

... and vs Puris Graphene Coating as well. 😊

[@shawnmiller2786]

Ethos is a private label Adams product. Never heard of Artdeshine, but a quick google search shows that they may be the source of Adam's graphene coating.

[@KautiousNupe]

@@shawnmiller2786 Shawn - when you say Ethos is a private label Adam's product - what do you mean exactly? Are you saying that Adams owns Ethos and Ethos simply takes Adams products and rebrands them as their own??

[@shawnmiller2786]

@@KautiousNupe Ethos buys their chemicals from Adams and slaps a new label on them. Several companies do this, Adams has a vast number of companies who buy at wholesale and resell their products. In fact, it's funny, but even Adams does not manufacturer anything. They buy the chemicals from a Korean supplier.

[@1powerequalsgod]

shawn miller I decided to check on Korean Graphene manufacturing companies an I agree what was said is highly accurate. The link is available. The US does not have a company that can mass produce the form graphene used in coating applications products for motor vehicles. Who know as a consumer how much graphene is actually formulated into these coatings at the moment. standardgraphene.com/

[@jorgenvonstrangle000]

I just landed one of these in a $30 mystery box they did for christmas this year, I can’t wait to try it.

[@georgiannegooday9108]

This spray coating boasts a year. The actual 60 ml coating brags of 7 year. Still awesome video, still what looks like promising results.

[@farhaanessa6310]

Can I suggest including gloss readings as part of your torture test. So like gloss reading before application, after application and after each torture hit. Would be interesting to see if possible

[@briandraper7630]

I agree. He only does durability pretty boring

[@benhsiao3243]

What’s performed as well or better from your testing history? Thanks!

Can you try that again with just Extreme Solutions Bug Off, maybe it's just some chemical in that product.

[@marksaldivar236]

Awesome video as always very informative honestly its looks like a good product but price point to high i rather keep using what I always use either seal n shine or meguiars fast finish or shine as you dry by meguiars but Awesome video jimbo

[@baja5racer1]

Would this be a good choice for wheels? The faces are done in true ceramic coating but I want to do the barrels didn't know if this would have the same benefits as true ceramic coating or not sure is cheaper easier to apply

[@evertabrego4462]

I am also very impressed. The average person wouldn't put this heavy stress in 10 mins. Lol. Normal conditions I'd say would hold up pretty good. Thanks for the great vid

Thats a great product might try this tfs buddy

[@clbdyc]

Can it be applied over an existing ceramic coating?

[@stephen1503]

Found this video as I was just thinking about how efficiency and ease of use is the future always. Wax used to only come in pastes and now most everyone reaches for a spray wax. Maybe eventually the chemistry will catch up so that a spray coating can last 2-5years instead of 1. But let’s be real, the coating companies currently have no incentive to switch to a cheaper easier to use model when they’ve set up their entire business on selling you those glass bottles. But in a world of profitability, a mobile or one man operation can probably do more spray coatings in a week than full ceramic coatings and possibly make more money depending on if they’re volume driven or not.

[@mkroderick]

What is the dryer you're using?

[@jeffloewi5632]

Newbie here. Great video. I don't have a garage. Can "curing" simply be leave it alone for 4 to 24 hours and hope it doesn't rain?

Why is the hood sectioned off? What is applied to the right side of the hood? It looks like it is doing great as well

[@aleonard08]

What water nozzle do you use?

[@E85_STI]

So I’m looking at this because I have been using the ceramic sprays instead of just doing the coating. I am doing the full prep still.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

may I suggest looking at this spray - JimbosDetailing.com - much better to apply and way less smelly.

[@CristianCastro-nx2nu]

How many coats should be applied?

[@XL5Master]

Why not use carpro reset or something in between chemicals?

[@Bill14886]

I'll wait for Maguire's version. I use Maguire's Ceramic wax both spray on and bottle wax wipe on wipe off & their Ceramic detail spray. And I enjoy keeping my truck looking brand new and spotless. Hard to beat.

[@calebboudreaux3258]

Great stuff, just doesn't last very long

[@vadusa]

This for only black color? For bike be good?

[@scottmattern482]

You should try the true adams graphene coating. You don't need different formulas for different surfaces, one bottle does glass, paint, trim, and wheels. That sku is $80-90 not $30 and you don't get 12 oz. However, I love this spray coating version, just need to reapply after 6 months.

[@andrewgonzales4278]

That coating that you have is suppose to be 1+ year. But the traditional coating that they offer in graphene is the 7+ year one. In the 30ml bottle or so

[@Hosing]

Can you compare this to the Ethos Graphene coating? I keep getting bombarded by their ads and wanted to see if it was worth a try

[@briandraper7630]

As I appreciate these test videos, reality is whatever elements or chemicals hit your vehicle, it would never get "rubbed" in, so the products that hang in on these tests, will last much longer in the real world.

Honestly we got bugs and they come off with a pressure washer so i wouldnt go near my car with stupid harsh chemicals.

[@p5tom]

not a good test /review. just because the hydrophobic properties degrade from beading to some sheeting does not mean the protection is gone grasshopper. also what about other elements like gloss, gloss hold, jetting, slickness, temp/sun resistance( hint it claiming uv protection) , just saying because everyone is just focused on the beading...much more that that,,,

do they ship it to the uk?

[@theboringchan]

I've done 4 cars so far with one bottle. Still have half a bottle. My car sits n the outdoors 24/7. Applicator pad is the way to apply. It spray 5-8 sprays than ul be able to do atleast half the vehicle if not the entire. It doesn't have to be soaked..just enough to have the oil looking rainbow coating. One bottle could possibly do 10+ cars if used sparingly. 6 months after I applied it still sheets. Not like the day but still there. Today I re chemical deconned it with Adams iron remover and reapplied a new layed of the graphene ceramic coating. It's so easy to apply why not. Do urself a favor and buy the iron remover by the gallon. Ul wanna reuse some every 3-12 months to freshen it up and so when ur ready to reapply a coating. Stuff is legit. If u use a rag like u did in the video it wastes alot by it drying out and it has to spread out through the rag

[@alivapereviews8057]

I wonder if I can apply this out doors I don’t have a garage I can park my car in so I can add the longer lasting coating by then so it’s not vary windy but kinda dusty is it fine to apply this and I daly drive car by far this is the best option for me I found as only needs 4 hours to cure instead of 24 to 48hours for other and will last 12 to 18 months probably 12 months for me since i daly drive it

It's funny that they've found a way to revive the marketing for ceramic coatings. They've been out for so long that the hype died down. Don't get me wrong, I love coatings and use them often as well as have both of my cars coated and they're amazing. All I'm saying is they're selling the same thing and now they're adding "graphene" just so they can get another wave of hype going to boost sales.

[@ricardogutierrez722]

I m not sure the graphene was completely gone , you should ve cleaned the surface with ipa ( eraser) and try it again. I have seen it in the past where these products seem to remove a wax just to find out after a ipa wipe down that the product is still there. It seems like the bug tar remover may be just masking on top of the graphene , because I m findind hard to believe the whole product would just disappear like that
