Because I’m so far behind on reviews I’m yet to dive into this black magic great video Martin 👍🏻🇬🇧
Thanks Paul. I did a video a couple weeks back where I applied graphene to one half of my wife’s Audi and si02 to the other half to see if there is any advantage of graphene. Both products used suggest up to 6 months longevity. I will be doing an up date in the next couple of weeks. I’m struggling to see any advantage at the moment
Another top class video Martin... I'm really looking forward to the follow up on your wife's Audi... So many mixed reviews about these Graphene-based products!
A joy to watch as always mate 👍🏼
Cheers Mark, My expectation is that graphene is an improvement on si02 but I'm not seeing that at the moment looking at the car after rain but will update in the next week or so👍
Did it smear because I’m useing yums ceramic detailed and it’s smearing and really hard to. Remove
No Nick, really nice product to use. I have it on half the Wife's Audi with Si02 on the other half and will be doing a progress report on it in the next week or so. So check it out before buying👍
Another good video Martin, will be interesting to see your results with this.
Im not sure how long you left before wetting it but on the IW website it says you should give it an hour to fully form a bond before wetting, something i feel they should have on the label as i would imagine that would affect the durability.
Yep good call Dave, should be on the bottle but I gave it a good hour. Not going to look at the longevity on this car but will be looking at its performance on the Audi. If you remember I applied it to half the Audi and si02 to the other half so will be giving an update over the next couple of weeks
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer yeah looking forward to the update on that one Martin
I've used a sample size bottle a few times and I can't comment on the durability as I used it on top of other products as I thought it was more for that use. Gave a proper smooth slick finish though, right up there one of the best I've used.
You would only need to complete a full decon if it was your main protection. Using it as a top up as you did is just as good. Its what works for you that's important Aaron
Great video as always Martin. I’ve had this since the first day it was released but the contents separated. So they’ve sent me a new bottle which is ten time. Better love the stuff. Nearly as good at garage Therapy
that's good to hear, I have them side by side on the Audi 👍
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer Sigma is still slicker and smells Devine. I couldn’t split them for longevity as I like you cannot sit and watch after maintenance washes and not add a top up. I definitely could NOT go without GT in my Arsenal.
@@Geeky_detail_reviews Sigma will take some beating. I think if I only had the chance to have one brand on the shelf then it would be GT👍
I tend to use a short pile then a longer one for a extra buff with these kinda products . Your wife spoils you as well
AND WATCH YOUR FINGERS YOU NEARLY BIT EM OFF
@@tmphotography8443 yeh I thought when looking back on the video it was a lucky escape🤣🤣
Looks nice n glossy , wonder if you’ll get any different result to Dave McBay, the water behaviour didn’t look that great , only time will tell , looking forward to the updates 👍
Hi Graeme, haven't seen any recent update from Dave on it. I will ask him. I also have it on the Audi so will give an update in the next week or so
Came up good, look forwards to your thoughts on durability, thx
It's a great bit of kit, as you said easy to use, great slickness and water beading in the initial stages. But the problem is it just doesn't last any where near as long as you'd expect. Shame really.
Agreed, really nice application and looks great but on my car it didn't last 3 months. It really winds me up when manufacturers give false information to sell the product. Once you get bitten you loose all confidence in the brand. Check out my video on Graphene or Si02. Si02 out performs the graphene. Stay safe
nice work, can't beat shiny protected Magnetic paint on an ST-Line-X Focus - IW make some great products!! Now try *AM Details Hybrid Sealant & Detailer* combo......see what you think. 💯🚗
Maybe next order?
It does seem like it has the potential to be a good product but the application seems really fussy and doesn't give consistent results person to person. Might have to pick some up and see what I think.
always best to make your own mind up👍
Really impressive video Martin, I got a bottle of this when it was released and found it difficult to use, particularly on black paint. To be fair to infinity wax when I told them they sent another out free of charge which I havent used as yet as I'm waiting for my new car to be delivered. Just to check I think you said this time around you used a microfibre applicator rather than a foam one compared with the last time you used it on your wife's Audi, if so where can you get the applicator from? Hope you and the family are well.
Hi Phil, From a few conversations I have had it would seem that early samples may have been unstable and when infinity wax were informed they replaced with new. The reason for not using a foam applicator was the product seeped through and I ended up with it over my hands. This time I used a microfibre applicator and it was a much better user experience as well as I felt it was a better application. You can buy the microfibre applicators from any detailing store but the last ones I bought were from County Detailing for £1.75 I think. We are all great thank you. Hope all is well with you Phil👍
Another good video Martin. I found it very easy to use and left a very slick finish. I think a lot of the issues with it are user error by using too much product. Durability wise I think more like 3 months on a daily driven car. Topping up after every other wash as its so easy to use would give the best results I feel.
Yep no doubt about it Dean, topping up after ever 3 or 4 washes then no need to be concerned with longevity. It does leave a good finish👍
Hello Martin,this Infinity Wax looks so easy to apply and take off,and beads water.my kind of stuff to use.
It really is!
Martin, so if I understand it right, this graphene is a next step for all spray waxes, like Adams Buttery wax, Tac System Shinee wax, etc...
No Andy its not a wax. Graphene is a recently new type of sealant that is becoming popular in the detailing world. Some are saying its the next step after Si02 but in my view I am yet to experience any advantages it has over an Si02 sealant. I recently did a video where I applied graphene to one side of my wife's Audi and a Si02 sealant to the other to see how they compare. I hope to upload a video in the next week or so giving an up date. Hope that is of some help
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer looking forward to watch it :) Thanks for content!
That looks a lovley product Martin I can hear my wallet creaking again looks like another product 2 buy
Sorry Alan🤷🏻♂️
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer 2 late Martin been orderd coming Monday what a great service I will use it & put a picture on my instragram cant wait love a new product that has your approval
@@alandonnelly9788 just don't tell the wife it's my fault
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer she knows mate she hears me sometimes when I'm at home watching u so keep your head down
Looks like a nice product,and another good vlog 👌
Check out a later video where I compare it to an Si02 product on the same car and let me know what you think

16:37 Best moment:)
Totally agree Andy, the only bit of sense I made all day🤣
Looks like a good product there Martin.
Although I have to be honest and say I think I still prefer the depth, gloss and definitely the water behaviour of GT Three CS personally.
Although this does look a bit easier to work with.
I will be able to give a little info on the comparison of the two over the next few weeks. But as a clue check out my video on "Graphene or Si02" 😉
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer thinking about it, I did watch that video and if I remember rightly I was a little surprised with the result regarding depth.
Jury is still out for me regarding the whole graphene business frankly.
@@AntEloftheHouseofEl you 7 me both, that's why I thought I would do the comparison to see if graphene gave any advantages. Cant see ant yet
I use it every wash (every week) on my Tesla Model 3, keeps the paint in pristine condition, the beading is fantastic
How long have you been using it
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer For around six weeks now, so six coatings layered. The beading just gets better the more you layer
@@rollls63 with all those layers you are going to end up with a fat car 🤣🤣
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer A fat but very protected car :-)
Things are moving at quite a pace in the detailing world, it makes me wonder what's next and what I'm going to part with my money on !!
Some products seem to be very similar, I think we are all looking for the holy grail of sealants/waxes and QD
Will there be a green/sustainable version for example, we just need something that works and for me it's Garage therapy products, they seem to tick all the boxes for my requirements presently.
I have a video where I put graphene on one half of my wife’s Audi and Si02 on the other half. I’m hoping to give an update in the next week. I’m not sold in graphene being better than Si02 and that’s way I wanted to run them side by side. I agree with you though that if I could only have one brand on the shelf then no doubt at all that it would be GT
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer can't wait for the video, guessing the outcome will be a win for GT though, I read all your comments etc ref the side by side test.
Hi Mike, I saw a comment you left on my "six ways to save money" video but for some reason I cant reply and the comment has now disappeared???? Glad you found it of use and good to see you looking around for things that work well for detailing other than paying the "detailing tax" from some suppliers. Im also with you on the GT range, lets see how their snow foam performs as I can't see one on the market that I want to spend money on
I have said previously I wasn't that impressed with this stuff but after seeing you use it at least twice I am convinced I had a rogue batchas at no point did tea and cake appear!!!!
On a serious note you get insane results and therefore i may have to purchase some more of this stuff ( or their graphene wax??), I binned that last bottle 'Martin Stylee'
I have heard that some early editions were a little unstable Chris but this one seems fine and so far im very happy with it. I will give an update on the graphene v Si02 comparison that I am doing on my wife's Audi in the next week or two
@ Chris W: "I am convinced I had a rogue batch as at no point did tea and cake appear!!!!"🤣🤣🤣
@@1881Gordon I am now not so sure the batch was rogue after seeing a couple of longevity results & Thea with both tea & cake🤷♂️
Safety Information:
For use on automotive paint only. Avoid contact with rubber and plastic. Do not use inside the vehicle. Apply QDX Graphene in a well ventilated area preferably in a dust free environment. Always wear gloves when using chemicals and avoid contact with bare skin. If irritation develops while using QDX Graphene, stop immediately and wash the affected area with plenty of cold water and rub gently. QDX Graphene causes eye and respiratory tract irritation. Always keep upwind of any spray. If QDX Graphene meets your eyes, rinse thoroughly with eye drops.
Keep out of the reach of children! Avoid using around animals, especially reptiles and fish.
If swallowed, contact local emergency services and do not induce vomiting.
This stuff is the latest addition to my arsenal, seriously good product. It's not expensive either. I can't really tell how popular this sealant is, but it needs to be well and truly put on the map and recognised.
I used Scholl Concepts S20 one step compound, IPA wipe down then QDX Graphene, insane results on my 2007 Subaru paint. Shout out for the Scholl compound too, a fantastic bang for buck compound, it makes perfect results for even a weekend warrior like me. My paint has never looked so good - and I'm fussy believe me.
I haven't put QDX to the longevity challenge, but who cares? It's so quick and easy and gives me instant gloss and beading, I'll be doing it after every maintenance wash anyway. I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with QDX Graphene.
Yep like you say, longevity may not be of much interest to some if like you they like to use it and will top up frequently. I cant fault it as far as application
@MDBD Ive used their QDX ceramic and liked it
Can't say I was impressed with that sheeting, looks very grabby. Remove the nozzle from the hose, you'll get a better stream of water and if the car has protection on it you should be able to virtually dry the car using the sheeting ability.
Can’t win the all🤷♂️
I like it, very glossy but Its getting a rep for being difficult to use and not very durable. Cant beat bsd 😄
My favourite topper at the min is gyeon ceramic detailer
I found it good to work with but have heard of early editions as unstable
