Very nice one Rick! This is a beauty of a car to have, and I love that the owner treats it accordingly! Am I right for spotting ppf, on the badge shot (0:34)? Since you do polish the bonnet I am confused:) I am interested in this because the graphene coating works on paint and glass, so if it would work on ppf as well it would be the most versatile one I've yet come across. I love the shot at 9:06, especially the warm light of the pot lights, it conveys the message that car detailing is a form of art or at least craftmanship, and that you are the master craftsman!
@RADGarage4 жыл бұрын
Hi Jaap. Yes, the hood and fenders are coated with SunTek PPF. I used a very light polish and soft pad on those portions of the car, mostly to remove the layer of "Beadmaker" the owner had on the car. This Graphene coating is suitable for all surfaces on the car, including PPF. Yes, that shot at 9:06 does convey a warmth that often gets missed in the throws of a project. I do like taking my time with the process and enjoying each step of it. This is the luxury I have since I don't have the same pressures and time constraints the pros have.

@jaaphoogendijk6714 жыл бұрын
From the recent videos of Chicago Auto Pros, PanTheOrganizer and Ammo NYC that I've seen, graphene coatings are really good coatings, just like ceramic coatings. They do not have such a high percentage of graphene in them as ceramic coatings have ceramic technology in them, so the term might be somewhat debatable. Are they a marketing move? Are they actually better? A lot is unknown, but it seems they are comparable to ceramic ones. Not hocus-pocus in my opinion, but sticking to Cquartz UK 3.0 is a good choice regardless! However, they might offer more potential for future refinement and improvement, possibly reducing water spots thanks to lowering surface temperatures, and easier application. Also, as Rick showed in the video, they have more versatility than some ceramic coatings seem to have. For further research I recommend these videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZPJo2ZrjtB3sM0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJbZpJKfftetjKs I am learning a lot from those, as I certainly do not know the answer myself!

Good day,Teacher Rick🤛🏼 It’s a long time since your last video. Nice Car and great job again👍👍 Graphene oxide product is really hot,I saw Pan released some videos talking about it and do some test with 303. Adams also has a graphene coating,maybe you can try it next time. Keep tight and waiting for your next nice video🤚🏼

Yeah, graphene is definitely the latest buzz word to hit the scene. I am trying it out and curious to see if it really is as good as they say. Thanks for tuning in. I promise the wait for my next video won't be as long as this one was. New video drops on October 24th and it will have a very interesting twist!

Rick, the Audi looks fantastic for 2008. I am interested in hearing your thoughts on Auto Shield Canada's Graphene coating. I know you're a fan of Adams Polish as I am, and I just coated my daughter’s a few weeks back with their graphene coating. So far, very pleased with it, as if it was easy to apply and wipe off. Also, do they ship to the states? Thanks, Rick, and have a great weekend.

Hey William. This particular coating is only available to dealerships and professional detailers at this point. There are plans to release a consumer-grade version, but for now, it's not something you can get. I will be trying it out on my own vehicle soon so I'll be able to share my insights.

@@RADGarage Thanks, Rick; I own a shop with my wife and certified with Ceramic Pro, G Techniq, and Modesto. We use our daily drivers for testing coatings, both professional and consumer-grade. We have a budget for every type of vehicle owner.

I’m gonna have my bmw m5 graphene coated and I have a carbon fiber roof. Does the graphene go on the carbon fiber roof? And do they paint correct the roof bc I do see some scratches on the clear coat on the carbon fiber roof?
@RADGarage4 жыл бұрын
There's a lot of factors at play there so I can't really chime in. I would be sure to bring your concerns and questions to the attention of the detailer you are using. Best of luck.

Rick, what type of flooring do you have and what company did you order it from?? I noticed you use Adams products, are you sponsored by Adams?? At one point you used Chemical Guys, but has switched to Adams, what was your rationale behind the switch?? Just curious, I'm thinking about using Adams products myself...

My floor is by Swisstrax. I have combination of Ribtrax and solid vinyl tiles. I am an affiliate with Obsessed Garage, so I would suggest my American garage friends use my link in the description if they were to order, but my Canadian friends will have to visit www.swisstrax.ca and use "RADGARAGE" to receive a $0.25/square foot discount. I do love my Adam's but I am not sponsored by them so I'm a free agent who uses what he likes. I just happen to like many Adam's products. I used to be totally into Griot's Garage and Leno's Garage, but I'm not affiliated with any one brand. I have made lots of friends in the business though and I do enjoy a number of gifts that come to me from my buddies.
