Exactly. If you read the description of the graphene spray on Adam's website, you'd think it's a much different product than their ceramic spray coating. They mention higher contact angles for less water spotting (funny that they're openly admitting ceramics have water spotting issues), but as Brian states here, there didn't seem to be much difference in hydrophobics

@1stfrompuertorico5684 жыл бұрын
They've done great incorporating UV search availability so you can check where it is missing or higher application but they need to be more resistant and better gloss for the price they ask. Still is better to use Ethos Graphene or their Ceramic, or Griots 3 in 1 or Turtle Wax Hybrid line not only in protection but also in price. For example, Ethos Graphene for $99 and 5 years protection is 20 a year the cost and maintenance with Defy is easy and cost effective. Another example, Turtle Wax Hybrid jumped 13 points in gloss units and kept it until the end losing about 4 points only. This one from Adam's jumped only 7 points in gloss units and at the end lost 4 almost 5. Adam's has other good products but these two require a revisit to surpass others also in durability. As far as I know, this is something Turtle Wax and Griots has been doing with waxes and they still don't have Graphene. Thanks again for your review and funny comment about the hotel. 😄👌 Xoxo from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷

hmm so how does the graphen actively bind? The carrier substrate can be modified for this difference. Graphene is also very conductive. I am currently doing a little R&D myself with graphene oxide. Specifically charging and pressure treatment. Slick 50 had Teflon. Just a suspended solid in a oil carrier and not able to bond to metal as claimed. Teflon has particular methodology to bond to metals.

Personally, I don’t think most people will want to remove their coating off their own vehicles but I kinda of think torture testing loses that point when something comes off. It’s like coatings and sealants are purposely designed not to be incredibly long lasting are meant to be removable and not meant to be a permanent application. It’s probably part of a marketing scheme to want the consumer to be aware over time of ownership to spend more time and money re-applying product to the vehicle. Business financial thrive off such continued maintenance applications. It’s a good thing you know to see a customer have to continue having to service maintenance their vehicles.
