Boost The Beading Effect On A Ceramic Coated Vehicle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2022
- Ceramic Coatings need regular maintenance to extended the effectiveness and longevity of the coating. There are many different boosting products on the market but none with Reduced Graphene Oxide added to the formula. Adam's Graphene Boost is a robust topper for any Graphene Ceramic Coating or Standard Ceramic Coating. With the added Reduced Graphene Oxide Graphene Boost has a stronger protection backbone providing a longer lasting boost for a Graphene Ceramic Coating or Standard Ceramic Coating.
Additionally, the Graphene Boost can be used as a standalone protection agent providing 6-9 months of water based Graphene Protection. Graphene Boost is very easy to use. Simply spray and wipe Graphene Boost on a clean car to boost the ceramic coating or add long lasting water based ceramic protection.

I put a ceramic coating on my Camry using your guys' products and I continue to use Graphene Boost and I constantly hear positive feedback from my neighbors about how shinny my car always is. I'm 100% sold on ceramic coatings on cars. And the best thing about it is how easy it is to wash my car now. Keep putting out quality products!!!!
Okay so I have reevaluated this and this is awesome. It’s like the ceramic version of H2O guard and gloss. Super quick to apply. As far as spray on protection applying this every 6 months is extremely appealing. Not to take away from the spray coating but compared to waiting for flash time I rather use this. Also the value proposition is huge when ordered by the gallon. You could compare it to something like the spray coatings or can coat by Gyeon this comes in at way way cheaper per onunce; even if you have to apply it twice as often. Can coat is at around $9 an ounce where this is at less than $1 am ounce when bought in gallon. I’m a huge fan of can coat but this is going to definitely find a place on my shelves and may replace a couple other products. I’m glad I reconsidered it.
This has been an interesting experience learning how to use this product. It is some what similar to H20 guard and gloss in terms of how you work it in with a microfiber towel.
Just used Graphene Spray Coating Advanced on my Jeep after a nice long hard summer of road trips and backcountry travelling. Never seen my Jeep look this good and never used such an easy product that gave me that instant sense of accomplishment. I left my old brand GY*** for Adams. Looking forward to Boost!
A lot of people complaining over something "they" have complete control over. Adam's comes out with new products which they believe the consumer wants/need. They do extensive testing before any products are released. I happen to love their products. The graphene product line to be more specific which I use exclusively for my CTS-V Coup. But, I digress. If you don't like the products....don't use them
Man I love Adams products but seriously you guys are coming out with so many of the same products it's confusing for hobby detailers. I've been a customer for 8 years and feel your cluttering your own products to the point it's turning people away.
I hear yeah man and completely understand. They are coming out with products left and right but you might want to look at each product and see IF this is something you would like to use or not. This boost spray is a heavier protectant and designed as a topper. Sure CS3 and Detail Spray Graphene are also toppers but have different properties. I think it fits into the line, think about each use of each product and it makes sense. It's NOT a all in one type product.
100% makes me stop wanting to buy adams products
I feel you man, but if you notice almost every company is doing this, plus ceramic boost sucked ass, everyone who tried it will say it sucked! It loved to streak everywhere
@@gusgarcia4131 How can it be that bad? I gotta believe Adam's Would have tested it before releasing it to the public. I'm wondering if the people who used it, didn't use it properly? I heard people complaining about Graphene CS3 , I have a bottle of it and never once did it streak yet everyone else tells me it does. Again I'm wondering how much of this is user error ?
@Daniel Hunsinger none of this is user error
Used this for the first time....won't use again.
I used the Advanced Graphene coating on my Velocity Blue Mustang a few years ago with good results and still works well. In prep for a car show, I decided to use the Boost product for enhancing the shine. After washing the vehicle and bringing into the garage on a 70 degree morning, it went on easily and thought I didn't have any streaking when using a two towel method. However, when getting it out in the sun later that day, I noticed a large number of problem areas that I had to correct.
It's ironic I had minimal issues in using the Advanced Graphene product, but this maintenance product was a headache.
Heading to the site to pick up a bottle now! Thanks!
Thank you for your business Thomas!
I can’t seem to use this without leaving behind a streaky mess. The amount of effort needed to remove the product is a workout.
Can you layer this? I just applied this after clay barring. I am waiting for at least 12 hours before applying another layer.
So in terms of durability:
G CS3 -> G Boost -> Graphene Spray -> Graphene coating
?
And main difference between G SC3 & G Boost is the former can be used to clean but durability is less?
Can i apply ceramic boost on Graphene coating?
Does this have the UV tracer as well?
Could you use a polisher to apply Graphene Boost?
I used this stuff on my ceramic coating and left it streaked and no longer hydrophobic. Now need to get my hood polished and recoated.
We are sorry for the issues! It should definitely enhance the coating, and you should not need to polish or re-coat the hood. If it is streaked, mist one or two sprays directly into a plush microfiber towel and re-wipe a small area, out of direct sunlight, then take a second dry plush towel and immediately buff the area with quick wipes. This should remove the streakiness. Less is more with Graphene Boost. The first towel will absorb most of the liquid, and the second towel should leave an excellent finish.
How long do you wait to apply this after applying ceramic coating ?
After leveling, should we throw away the leveling towels or would a machine wash make them safe for further use? Does the product crystallize on the towels?
Do you recommend using surface prep before using the boost spray?
So true, way to many products and step. The waterless wash guy had like 15 steps and 5 different products. Couldn't click never mind quick enough
H20 Guard and Gloss is much more glossy? Or graphene boost?
do i apply this immediately after applying the ceramic coating or after it cures?
I’ve used this a few times now over my graphene coated car and I can’t get it to stop streaking. I spray it on, wipe with one towel, and then wipe again with a fresh towel, and it’s still streaks. Has this happened with anyone else? I really wanted this to work, but so far, it’s a mess for me.
You could just yolo the graphene coating on and slap a 4 oz of boost after the first year and like every year after that.
Then just keep a Gcs3 in your back pocket for car shows, cars and coffee and dinner with your girlfriend’s parents.
Pretty easy.
How is the slickness? I am all adams graphene line up and especially love the wheel and tire. Recently I've tried the diy ceramic spray and was introduced to slickness and the difference it makes for cleaning. I am rethinking all my adams products excluding wheel and tire. I hope this is slick. ?????
I just bought it it’s actually very slick , I think its slicker than bead maker if you ever used it
I have recommended your products to my brother to use on his car and while your "upper end" products will give the best protection, they need to be kept dry - out of the elements until set. As he may not have access to a covered/garage area to apply for the set up times, would using the Graphene Boost need a set up time to adhere to before exposure to rain etc.?? Thank you for producing the best products I have found to keep my vehicles finishes the best they can be.... Thank you for your expert advise.... I will definitely Beeee Baaack 🙂
I’ve asked this same question, Adam’s told me it’s ready to go right after applying, no cure time
I use graphene cs3 for quick waterless wash or maintenance wash for shine and drying aid. Compared to this boost which one will give me more shine grapheme cs3 or boost? I still have a gallon of cs3 so I won’t be getting boost anytime soon 😅 also would love to see some reviews or video on the autozone exclusive graphene wax
Hi Emjayy, sorry we missed this comment! Shine level will be very similar between Graphene CS3 and Graphene Boost, but the main differences are that Graphene CS3 can be used as a waterless wash as you said, and Graphene Boost is a more substantial protection level that must be applied to a clean, dry surface. You'll be fine with the gallon of CS3 :) The Autozone exclusive Graphene Liquid Wax is a very nice product - very easy to apply (no high spots, easy to wipe away), excellent shine, and around 2-4 months of protection or more on a daily driver - it is an update to our Ceramic Liquid Wax, if you've ever used that product before.
How often should we apply the ceramic detail spray to a ceramic coated car? What about the boost one?
Hi diego, our apologies for missing your comment. We recommend using Graphene Detail Spray about once every 3-4 washes or so, or every 1-2 months. The Graphene Boost in this video is a more durable protection, so you could apply it every 4-6 months or so for continual protection. Thanks for the questions!
I applied 2 coats of Adam's Advanced Graphene Ceramic Coating on our new RAV4 Hybrid about 10 days ago. Is it too soon to apply a coat of the Graphene Boost and is it appropriate to apply it to the glass also? I completely cleaned it up this afternoon so it's already prepped. I wasn't planning on using the Boost, which came in the kit with the Advanced sealant for a while, but maybe it would be good to apply now...
Hi there, you could apply Graphene Boost now if you would like to add a bit more slickness to the surface, but I usually like to wait a month or two and then apply my maintenance product. You can use Graphene Boost on glass as well, but use it sparingly (less is more). You will most likely want to use 2 towels on glass and darker paint colors as well to avoid any smearing or streaks.
Can this be used under the hood? Obviously not on the belt, but what about the plastic, hoses and metal? Does it dry to a tack free finish?
Hi there, Graphene Boost is more intended as a spray on and wipe off product, so you could use it in the engine bay, but you would need to wipe away the residue. A better option would be our aerosol In & Out Spray, or Adam demonstrates using our Interior Detailer with Microban in this video. It can be used as an engine bay dressing that leaves a very factory look without any greasy residue, at about 4:50 into the video: ua-cam.com/video/QijaaaXLIg4/v-deo.html
First time using this product and I applied it in direct sunlight. It did not go well at all lol. The next day it was so streaky and I could not get it off even with more product. Called Adams HQ and they recommended using Brilliant Glaze to get it off. That leveled the product perfect and left a great shine. Thanks for the tips and I'll be trying the product again in a much more controlled environment.
Yep, Graphene Boost is a pretty thick formula with a very substantial level of protection, so you do need to work quickly with it in small areas at a time, preferably on a cool, clean surface out of direct sunlight especially if it is a darker colored paint. The performance is outstanding once you get used to the application 👍
Can this be a drying aide after washing?
Questions Please.
1. With the Advanced Graphene Ceramic Spray, how long to wait before applying a second coat?
2. With then using the Graphene Boost every couple of months, would these applications be "additive" in that they would help preserve the base coating of the Advanced Graphene Ceramic Spray?
Thank you for your helpful answers....
Hi there, great questions!
1. A second layer is not necessary, but if you would like to apply one, 1-2 hours after application of the first layer, then allow it to cure for 4-6 hours before being exposed to moisture or water. The first layer of graphene ceramic will somewhat reject the second layer, so the second layer will feel like it is applying much easier.
2. Yes, graphene boost will somewhat extend the life of the coating, but it is more to bring back excellent hydrophobic behavior after the base coating eventually picks up some contamination.
@@AdamsPolishes Thank you for your guidance. My 08 RAM took two days to finish, using a fine clay mitt after a good wash using the famous "no. 7 car and truck wash", I found that in Florida the flashing/curing occurs fairly quickly and I found that removing the "haze" a bit quicker made for an easier removal and easier to polish to a mirror like shine. With this my first use of Adams, I used about half-6 oz of the Graphene Advanced Spray and maybe could/should have used a bit less. I'm glad I found your line of products and with the EXCELLENT results I have obtained, I'llll Beeeee Baaack 🙂 Thanks for a GREAT product line....
Question. After applying, can the towels be washed and reused?
Hi there, yes you can re-use towels that are used with Graphene Boost, however, you will want to soak them in water quickly after use if you are not going to wash them immediately - the longer the Graphene Boost residue absorbs into the towel, the more hydrophobic and water repellent the towel will become.
Can this be used on all surfaces including windshield?
Hi! Yes, Graphene Boost can be used on nearly any exterior surface - paint, glass, chrome, and plastics. Just make sure to clean the glass very well first and use two towels to avoid any streaks or smearing. If the glass has not been clayed recently, you may want to clay the windshield first for best application of Graphene Boost. The only exterior surface we would recommend that you do not use it on would be a convertible cloth top - Fabric Protector or Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating would be better options for that scenario.
Damn, literally a couple weeks after I bought a gallon of the graphene detail spray to accomplish what this product does but now better. C’est la vie I guess. Lol
Same smh
It's called marketing hype, there are many comparable products out there at a fraction of the price, there wipe on graphene costs just under $9,000 a gallon, they can keep it
Does this have sun protection as I use it as a drying aid
Hi there, yes Graphene Boost will help to protect against UV sun exposure; however, it is going to be difficult to use as a drying aid due to the higher percentage of graphene ceramic resin in it. It will be more difficult to remove in direct sunlight. Our regular pink Detail Spray would be better, faster, easier, and more affordable to use as a drying aid after washing, and it is compatible with ceramic coatings. The regular pink Detail Spray could be used much more frequently than Graphene Boost as well.
Can that go over Guard and Gloss?
Yes. The Graphene Boost will work on top of Adam's H2O Guard & Gloss
Can you spray this on a towel and then apply to paint or is it better to just spray it on the paint first and wipe with a microfiber instead?
Hi Dee Jay, yep you can mist a few sprays into a plush microfiber towel and then spread it onto an area and then flip the towel over and buff away any remaining residue. Spraying into the towel will help you to avoid over spray onto other panels you may have already treated. You may still want to use two microfiber towels though - one towel to spray Graphene Boost into the towel and then a second clean, dry towel to wipe away the remaining residue. As you spray more Graphene Boost into the first towel it will have a tendency to spread and smear a little more, since it is a fairly thick chemical with strong protection, so that is why it's a good idea to follow up with a second clean towel 👍
@@AdamsPolishes thanks. I just bought some by the Gallon and it came in the mail right before christmas. I look forward to try it out soon
Would you maintain the graphene boost using the graphene detail spray?
Yep, you can use Graphene Detail Spray every 1-2 months or 3-4 washes or so 👍
@@AdamsPolishes thanks!
How often should the booster be applied?
Hi Nikki, Graphene Boost is quite durable, so you could apply it every 3-6 months or so. If you want something to apply more frequently, you could use our Graphene Detail Spray instead, about once a month.
I have an actual question on use. So for your maintence wash, Graphene Detail spray is being used as a drying agent and providing a light coat of protection as a light topper. With that step in place , would you still use the Graphene Boost as your topper? I'm thinking yes as most of use always use a drying agent like Detail Spray or Graphene Detail spray. On a side note, I never noticed a Ceramic Detail Spray, did you guys just skip over that? Just curious as it would fit into the line.
Hi Daniel, sorry we missed this comment! Yes you can still use Graphene Boost as a topper every 3-6 months or so if you want to add even more protection, but if you already have a regular routine with Graphene Detail Spray, this Boost may not be necessary. Graphene Boost is more if you wish to stretch the maintenance cycle a little longer in between applications. You are correct, we never had a specific "Ceramic Detail Spray" but CS3 can essentially be used as a ceramic detail spray. Our regular pink Detail Spray is safe on ceramic coatings as well!
@@AdamsPolishes Thanks for getting back to me. That clears things up.
I bought so many products from Adams and Chemical Guys. I get sucked into buying a gallon of whatever. The graphene detail spray does not hold up well alone compared to Carpro Reload. CarPro Reload is still the better product every time I try a new product. But the price sucks.
I hope this is better than Carpro Reload for $90/gallon
You’re comparing a detail spray to a sealant.
I feel like graphene detail spray vs Elixir is a fair comparison.
@@NipponStiqqyPaint is reload a sealant? My bad. I didn’t know that. It doesn’t last too long as a sealant but it performs well for the short few weeks or so. I hope this new Adam’s Graphene Boost performs well.
Reload is more comparable to this new product or the old ceramic boost, which sucked. Seems pretty clear to me that all three products have different use cases. I tend to just use the CS3 as a quick detailer/waterless wash but if it struggles a bit in the heat I’ll switch to the regular detail spray which is just a perfected classic on all surfaces. Though I tend to still prefer carpro clarify if only cleaning glass. That stuff rocks. I could definitely see picking up this graphene boost too and applying in controlled conditions after a carpro reset wash and using cs3 again as a drying aid. Seems like a reasonable system but definitely not essential!
Can I apply this on wet surface and wipe as you dry?
Hi there, you can use Graphene Boost as a drying aid, however, it is a thick formula with a high percentage of graphene resins, so it can streak and smear on darker colors when using as a drying aid, especially if you are using it in the sun. Work in the shade if possible and use a very light misting as a drying aid, one panel at a time. It is a durable formula as well, so it is not something you want to use every wash.
Our original pink Detail Spray will work much easier as a drying aid, and is more suitable to use for every wash 👍
Just like top coat f-11 formula, this stuff is a magnet for dust, the more thickness the more dust it will attract, best to apply a small amount with a damp microfiber cloth..
Can it be diluted?
Hi there, we do not recommend diluting Graphene Boost. You can try diluting it, but the chemistry may not work as well. Some do like using it as a drying aid, but make sure to use it in small areas at a time, out of direct sunlight if you are going to try it as a drying aid. Our Graphene Detail Spray has a lower concentration of reduced graphene oxide resin and has a little easier application than Graphene Boost for some, since it's not as thick of a formula, so Graphene Detail Spray could be another option for you.
I coated my car with your Advanced Graphene ceramic coating, waited 48 hours and then used Graphene Boost as a topper. Noticed it left some spots here and there that I removed with Graphene CS3 but my question is, did I damage the Graphene Coating? I prepped the car so well and did a fantastic job on the coating. Just want to make sure I didn’t mess it up by topping it with this boost product too soon? I don’t think it hurt anything, but could someone chime in? Thanks.
If you used the spray (less concentrated) adv graph ceramic coating you should be okay....however the liquid version is much more concentrated and needs at least a week to cure
@@kendallhughes7507 thankfully I didn’t damage the coating when adding graphene boost on top of a 2 day old coating. I just washed it for the first time about 10 days after coating and it was amazing. And then it rained and the water behavior is unreal. I’ll know next time to give it a week tho!
@@kendallhughes7507 thank you for your advice tho. That’s def what I should have done, waited a full week. But I just didn’t know. It’s working so well tho. Better than I expected tbh.
@@kendallhughes7507 well, I guess I can’t say I didn’t hurt it or effect it but it doesn’t look to be the case as of now. I was thinking about adding a second coat of the advanced just because. I think I may do that soon anyways. Wipe down with panel prep and add a second coat. Not for sure tho, what do you think?
On the bottle it says this can be used as a drying aid too? Is that true or Is this the only way
Hi Eric - sorry we missed this question during Barrett-Jackson! You can use Graphene Boost as a drying aid but it's not our best option for a drying aid. You will want to use it sparingly on one panel at a time. It is a robust formula, so it will require thorough wiping especially on darker colored vehicles, where we would recommend using two towels - one to wipe it in, and a second dry towel to wipe away any remaining residue. Using Graphene Boost out of direct sunlight will allow it to be easier to work with on darker colored vehicles as well. Having said that, Graphene Boost is a a durable formula that can last up to 6 months or more per application, so you will not want to use it as a drying aid at every wash. Our Graphene Detail Spray, CS3, or normal pink Detail Spray would be better options to use as a drying aid, and they are all compatible with ceramic coatings, and have better price points for frequent use. We hope that helps out!
No need to overlay the distracting music.
Need to look at the camera lense more
I've always been a fan of Adams, but I have to say, I think since Adam sold the company that y'all are coming out with way too many similar products that pretty much do the same thing, with only minor differences between them. I know that wasn't Adam Pitale's philosophy, and I've heard him say so on lots of videos over the years. Just one man's opinion, but there's something to be said for simplicity, and I think y'all are losing that...
In ways my friend , I do agree with you. Seems like. a huge push for Graphene and maybe they keep messing with it and finding new ways to use it. Detail spray and CS3 where already excellent products that go upgraded. This new Boost spray seems like a different product. I'm gonna reserve my opinion until I own it and give it a proper test.
They just need a chart or something to simplify the logic behind each one.. They're all a bit different and I think the point is that you might already have a rotation that one can fit into but not others (like if you use a detail spray from another Co, use a different type of product like waxes, or don't want to commit to a full coating, etc).
Graphene detail spray is good for 1-2 months
Graphene Boost is good for 4-6mo
Spray Coating is around 1yr+
And the "true" graphene coatings are rated for 7+ & 9+ yrs but should probably be enhanced periodically.
I think they can all have a place depending on how frequently you detail your cars or if you're using them in your business for different levels.
It can be confusing though when you suddenly find out they've had a similar product that's better for your situation and you just bought the wrong one.
Oh no here we go with 8 chemicals that do the same thing
Too much work bro.
Adam’s has become chemical guys after they got bought out.
Except Adams actually works compared to watered down CG
I thought the same thing!
Adam's polish actually stands by there product. chemical guys does not.
Yeah but half of chemical guys stuff is snake oil
That stuff is garbage!!!
Left my black mustang streaky and spotty! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
Streaky and spotty can be worked out. I'm not convinced these products are guilty of this. Most of the time it's the end user not applying it correctly or using to much product. If you watch that video, you will have a streaky mess IF you use it on a hot car or in direct sunlight . So this product might be fine IF used correctly. I will have to pick it up and report back, I also have a black car and as you know, they show ALL FLAWS.
The real question is what was residing on your car's surface before you applied this....
Can this be used as a drying aid after washing?
Hi Isaiah, you could use Graphene Boost as a drying aid, but we would not recommend it. Graphene Boost is a more robust formula designed to add 6+ months of protection per application, so you would not want to use it every wash. It is a thicker spray formula as well, so it will apply better to a clean, dry surface that is out of direct sunlight. For a drying aid, we still recommend our original pink Detail Spray as the easiest-to-use drying aid. It's safe to use on coated and uncoated vehicles. You can also use our Graphene Detail Spray as a drying aid, but use it sparingly and you will need to wipe it away more thoroughly with your drying towel.
@@AdamsPolishes thank you guys!
