This is the best video you have produced yet. I have learned a lot from the three look alike guys. 🇨🇦
I am glad to see that you put as much engineering and creativity into the video editing as you do your products! Very clever.. and makes the production way better than a run of the mill infomercial! :D
Super helpful! Thanks for another great video!
Loved the video thank you! I’ll share it with our customers and clients for more education for them between the 3 ways they could go with. We’ll be happy with whatever they pick because of the quality of Adam’s Polisher products!

I think this channel is a great supplement to the products themselves.
You offer products which can be trusted in any application, plus the knowledge to use them like tools in your toolbox.
Well done on the production quality too. A fun element for sure.
Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate it!
This is such a great video I’m definitely buying these products for my bmw
Great video
I just went ahead and got the advanced formula. It is just a few bucks extra! May as well just get that one! If you sold that in larger containers, I can imagine detail shops having it on their shelves. For someone like me who has 2 vehicles a bottle of that stuff should go a really long way considering how much is needed. I have a 2013 white Passat and my mother has a 2017 Rogue that is silver. Not sure if Nissan had any coating on it from the factory but it beaded the water really nicely for a good while after she got it. I couldn't feel any sort of tackiness that would seem to be a wax on it anyhow. Sometimes you can feel it when there is a wax on it.
I've made some decisions. New 1500 AT4 on the way
Getting some rims as well & will use the graphene ceramic high test all over.
Ease of cleaning is what I'm looking forward 2 most.
Two and a half years later and the glass bottle Advanced is holding up tremendously. I used to top with tw flex wax but now I just use the adam's detail spray or the boost. The sickness and hydrophobics are 2nd to none. The water beading and chemical resistance are really shocking. The more I use Adam's products, the more impressed I get. I'm using the Advanced Spray after every 3rd weekly wash just to go overboard. I'll post an update after the summer ends.
The editing is kick ass 😎
Took us a few tries and some mediocre acting by Joe but we are happy with how it turned out. 👍
Did the 60 ml on my brand new Lexus is 350 , and what a side it got. Very easy tow clean to .
Hello! I would like to know how can I prolong the effect of Graphen Ceramic coating? Can I follow up with Graphen Spray Ceramic Coating to maintain the gloss and effectiveness of the coating, will it not make it worse?
I got one spray bottle and one 60ml bottle on the way..n Anti-fog bottle 🔥
How about Adam's Graphene Boost? thx!
Hi bro, what's the shelves life for the 60ml advanced coating, if its opened already and unopened? Just wondering... Thx
I am convinced this is good stuff. I tried competitor's product ONLY because I could get it easily at a store. That would be the Black Magic detailer. I looked at the MSDS and could find no mention of graphene in it. Nor was there anything there that says it is a proprietary blend or trade secret. Instead that stuff was deionized water, glycol and a tiny pinch of sodium hydroxide (lye). Maybe they were just giving an MSDS for the graphene carrier solution? Not sure. When sprayed on my white car I could see some grey in the solution sprayed on. I don't know for sure if it is dye (I read a rumor that some cheap stuff might have a dye in it) or real graphene nano particles. In short, I don't know the quality of that product yet. That is whether some sort of Black Magic advertising is at work. It is easy to use and makes the water bead and run right off. We have had rain the last couple days that came down by the bucket fulls and after a few splashes through some puddles I didn't see dirt on the car. My car is a candy white 2013 Passat and it shows dirt fairly easily. I am almost certain that a chemical test would destroy that coating very easily, you get what you pay for they say! I used to use Carpro HydrO2 and that was also really easy to use (couldn't be easier). Now I am moving onto graphene and will eventually try one of the Adam's graphene products. I expect great things since it is not merely a "buzzword" but a technology with HUGE potential in a lot of segments.
What is the shelf like of each of these products.
It si possiable to use graphene ceramica spray as a topper on coat vehiculo?
Can I prep my car, compound and polish it then apply the spray advanced graphene instead of the 60ml graphene? thanks
Thank you for the information.
I have a question Sir, does the Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating Advanced Basic Kit require to polish my car I will go to do it for the first time or if i will reapply it again after a period of time?
Thank you.
Should do video maintenance for coated car like decon chemical and mechanical
We got you! Check this out: ua-cam.com/video/8Pkz9i8oXY8/v-deo.html
Should you or is it ok to put this on outside if you don't have a garage?
I have the graphene coating on my car. I did the claying, buffed, and an IPA, before I applied the coating. I wanna clay it again, before winter, and I’m curious, what can I use with my DA POLISHER, to bring back the glass looking shine? Some kind of finishing polish?
2022 red Subaru Forester with PPF on half the hood; it'll be driven in Colorado, so rock chips, dust, and mag-chloride, oh my! Plus Mile High sunshine. Just crossed 1K miles. Questions: Regular coating or graphene on red paint? I'm thinking the Graphene Spray Advanced, just because I'd be hand polishing any swirls or mild scratches. What do you advise, Adams folks? DIYer here on a bit of a budget, but I still want to keep that red looking fresh. She lives in the garage at home, but it might be parked outside at work, where I'd have to choose between sun or tree sap.
100% Graphene Spray Advanced. You’ll love the way it performs and will love the ease of use. Perfect for doing an annual or bi-annual one step polish and re-apply of the Graphene Spray Advanced. Enjoy!
They destroyed my black trip on a challenger?
No warnings or anything just made it look all white.
How is that possible?
Where is this store located?
On my truck I use the wipe method for the years because I drive it alot on dust roads and in snow and drive it all year round I drive it probably 80% of time and I use the spray on my trans am it stays in the garage alot drive in on good days and just to Cruz around
Can you use the Graphene Ceramic coating on wheels as well? Trying to make cleaning brake dust easier
Absolutely. Just make sure to fully clean and prep them first.
What about ease of maintenance? What are the maintenance routine (especially for car wash) for the different ceramic coatings?
Hi Malik, great questions! Once a vehicle is ceramic coated, you still want to use safe wash practices with a pH neutral soap, and we would recommend using Graphene Detail Spray, CS3, or another topper every 1-2 months or so to keep the coating performing its best. We have a video on how to wash and maintain a ceramic coated vehicle here: ua-cam.com/video/8Pkz9i8oXY8/v-deo.html
Purchased the Advanced Graphene product via the local storing knowing I was going to do the prep work and wanted something that was going to last. I’m assume the longevity on these products may be a bit overrated, but will be happy if I get three years out of it.
My primary concern is knowing when to level the product out here in Colorado on a 70 degree day.
Higher temps and humidity affect the flash time, the higher of either the faster it'll be. Best to go by feel. When you can very lightly drag a plush towel like the Borderless Gray towel across the surface and it's slick, it's too soon. When it's tacky, it's time to remove it. There will be a pretty quick drop off, so check frequently!
@@chrisinco5920 Thanks. I’ll put a timer on and see how the first areas workout….hopefully its consistent time wise. I purchased a UV flashlight to verify coverage.
My question is: Ceramic coating also repels dust ?
I Gona try the graphene spray advanced on the wife’s car soon, I’m going to put 2 coats on it, how long do I wait to put on the the second coat and will there be an issue using carpro essence to polish , this has sio2 in it as a base
Frankly, no need to do 2 layers. With layering ceramic coatings the law of diminishing returns applies...adding 2+ does not equate to 2x+ the protection. Instead, use the UV light to ensure full and even coverage. There may be some issues with that polish, yes. It needs a completely bare naked and clean surface to fully bond, consider other options without added protection.
How often should i do a mentanace wash on my car that i coates with the Adams graehneceramic ?
Hi Ravi, you could use Graphene Shampoo about every 4-5 washes for a deep clean, and you could use a maintenance spray like our Graphene Detail Spray or CS3 about every 1-2 months, depending on how much you drive the vehicle and whether it is garaged or parked outside most of the time.
Can I used the graphene ceramic spray as a topper to my graphene ceramic coating?
Absolutely you can
For the spray version, I don’t have access to a garage. Can I apply it outside?
Short answer is yes, just make sure the car isn't hot, don’t work in direct sunlight. Most importantly of all, spray carefully on the applicator, not on the car. Finally, since the car is outside and not in stable conditions (like a heated garage) the first 24 hours for it to properly cure (yes the spray also has cure time) will affect the durability.
@@Theseones what you mean cure time like water hitting it or something
Yes, don’t let water or anything touch the paint as much as you can
@@Theseones thank you very much for the tips! I have a nice shaded area to work in, I guess I’ll have to pick a day where it won’t rain for a day or two. Cheers!
Yes, with some caveats as explained. Note the cure time for the spray is 4-6 hours, not 24 like the traditional/small bottle form. You can apply toppers after that time, but wait 5-7 days before washing.
Hello, you say the spray coating needs to be reapplied every 6 to 8 months, but what if you garage the vehicle and only drive it maybe 4-6 Times a month for 1 to 2 hours each time and only drive in nice & dry weather? I'm guessing it would last longer, correct? ? There
Hi AJ, that's correct. If the vehicle is garaged and not driven much, you might even get 1-2 years out of one application.
Can I use Graphene Ceramic Spray coating on the motorcycle? What I mean by motorcycle I mean paint, wheeels, engine block and exhaust? Also what is the heat resistance of that spray? Thank you!
Hi Adam - sorry for the late response while we were at Barrett-Jackson the last few weeks. You can use our Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating on motorcycles! You can coat the paint, windscreen, wheels, and exhaust pipes no problem - just make sure to prep them very well first, and to fully wipe away all of the coating residue. It is best to mist the spray coating into an applicator (facing away from the bike to avoid over spray), then apply it to each surface. For the engine block, it could be a little tricky, since you may not be able to fully wipe away the residue inside of each of the cooling fins. The coating has a temperature resistance up to 1800F, but the spray coating will deteriorate more quickly than the 60ml glass bottle Graphene Ceramic Coating. You should get 6-12 months of protection on painted surfaces - the engine and exhaust pipes would have a reduced longevity due to the constant high temperatures. Hope that helps!
@@AdamsPolishes Thank you so much for a great response! You answered all my questions:-)! Thanks again!
I switched from Chemical Guys simply because these are better products. I noticed detailing my own car before doing customers how much better Adam’s does.
Thank you for the kind words, and thank you for your business!
CAN YOU USE THE GRAPHEN SPRAY OUTDOORS?
obviously
What is the shelf life of the spray graphene coating?
most coating shelf lifes are 48 hours max after opening it or about 6 months, anything over that, then the durability will be affected
@The one you are talking about coatings of high concentration in small bottles. I have trouble believing the spray stuff is that short.
@@marcg1964 hahah crap you're right, I was too quick, but I'd say up to 12 months for most detailers and 18-24 months for spray coatings/sealants. This is generally speaking due to most products on the market perform best in that timeframe, anything above those numbers will result a decline in durability.
Do you still sell the ceramic paste wax?
Ceramic Paste Wax was replaced by Ceramic Coating Wax a few years back: adamspolishes.com/products/adam-s-ceramic-paste-wax
Real talk wife has a lease, not really interested in paying for a pro ceramic with a paint correction. Can I still use the graphene ceramic spray coating?
Yes you can! Prep is still very important so take the time up front for the best results.
Difference between graphene detail spray and graphene cs3
the cs3 is a spraywax/sealant that you can use 2-4 times a year(every maintenance wash), whilst detail is just a detailer meaning use it to dry and wipe the car after every wash.
Graphene Detail Spray is a quick detailer, use it the same as the original Detail Spray (drying aid, clay lubricant, etc) and maybe every couple of washes or for quick wipe downs. Graphene CS3 is a silica-infused waterless wash that also has graphene resins, it has cleaning properties the Detail Spray does not, and you can use it about as often. Both will boost the coatings, and both can be used as a drying aid, and on either a wet or dry car for regular use.
I tried the Advanced Graphene Spray coating. I returned it because the smell from it was so bad I couldnt do a 2x2 section without it feeling like a headache was already starting and had to wear a respirator mask to be able to use it. That was using it with my garage door open. Do not recommend on that alone. Plus I will say was not all that impressed with the hydrophobics of it after all said and done.
Puss..
What's up with all that rainbow streaking? If that's just flashing pre-buff, that's ok, but shouldn't show it. Especially with all these people claiming there's tons of rainbow streaking and tiger striping.
Gotta hand it to them, they figured out a way to get $100 for a tiny container of wax!
So your supposed to throw away your microfibers after using these products? Those heavy drying towels your using are expensive.
A real coating would harden in the sprayer and you’d need to throw your towels away just like CanCoat a real ceramic coating
Hi there, our Graphene Ceramic Spray Coatings are solvent-based, not water-based, and are real ceramic coatings at a lower percentage of active resin than our 7+ year Graphene Ceramic Coating. The spray coating does crystallize and harden and can cause the sprayer tips to clog, so we do recommend removing the sprayer after use, spraying water through it, and putting the child-safety cap back on the bottle until the next use. Alternatively you can take a small pin to unclog the spray nozzle if the coating crystallizes in it. The applicators and towels used with Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating can harden and crystallize as well, just not as severe as using our 7 year coating. If you soak the towels used with spray coating immediately after use, you can re-use them, but typically we would recommend downgrading them to other uses, such as engine bay, cleaning exhaust tips, wiping up floors, etc, before discarding them.
I’m not what you would call a -“traditionally educated chemist” but I’ve mixed gcs3, graphene ceramic spray, the graphene coating and graphene VRP and I gotta tell ya
Don’t do it, it was a big mess
Even if the ingredients are the same, upsetting the balance of it can cause problems. I am no chemist either but I understand that these aren't as simple as dumping a little graphite powder into a bottle of detail spray! These formulas are complex and some of the ingredients in them would be to prevent clumping of the graphene. If it clumped, it would either clog the tube of the sprayer on the bottle or just not get sprayed at all. It would be devastating to anyone who sold a product like this because it would sully their name. It would also cause people to be cynical of graphene which would also be really bad because people might then not explore its potential uses. It would be the best thing that we all forgot. That would be the saddest thing about it.
Slowly becoming chem guys
Joe Biden uses Graphene CS3
It’s a great product
So much misinformation here 🤦♂️
Why you say that?
What’s missed
None of them because graphing does not do anything more than just a regular ceramic coating prove me wrong
Try the products, just because one brand failed, doesn’t mean all of them did. Don't listen to people on the internet, try things and experiment on your own, most of the time you'll genuinely be surprised.
There is a difference. I did regular adams ceramic coating on one truck and the non advanced graphene coating on another (at the same time). The graphene is still like the day I applied it over a year and a half ago while the ceramic is just about fully done. I also love the benefit of graphene being more resistant to water spots unlike the ceramic. I would also like to add the truck with ceramic sits under a cover un used for most of that time but is still worn out faster while the graphene truck has seen tons of mud, dust and general abuse + sitting outside in the Florida sun everyday.
Hey, I’m just looking to get into an internet argument.
Is this the place?
@@NipponStiqqyPaint Yes! Are you on the ceramic or graphene side?
There is most definitely a difference. They also are fully transparent it is reduced graphene oxide not graphene, and have both articles and videos all about it. If you have never tried it, do so. Then come back here and let us know your thoughts. I bet you'll think differently.
ima tell yall like I tell chemical guys, your spray "coating" is not a ceramic coating so stop fooling people that don't know better.. its simply a spray sealant and it doesn't even last like yall claim.
