Great video. I have known about Graphene for years. The key was always the method to produce it and have it able to be applied to a surface (clear coat, paint, etc). Now you have demonstrated the properties - it is more resistant to poor washing, water spots, etc. which is why I have wanted to use it for years. I chose the Ethos product because the Company looks to be solid and the folks I see (Tim) are professional, approachable and able to communicate very well! I believe in Ethos. I watched this video and I didn't see any twist or turns to favor Graphene over the CSL. So, for me, this was unbiased testing. My results using the product are excellent. I have completed maintenance washes and clients cars have seen bugs, gravel, sand, massive heat and humidity. No problems at all so far. Thank you for the test and keep up the great work! Chemistry will allow Graphene to evolve and likely improve, so I will stick with Ethos for the ride :)
Very informative video. Water spotting and water spot etching are the biggest problems I have with ceramic/Si02 coatings. Looking forward to future tests with CSL/EXO and CQUK versus two coats of Ethos Graphene Matrix.
The Graphene is awsome stuff. I use on everything and it leaves a great durable finish on both use in auto and stone counter tops. Durability is amazing just make sure to wipe off excess or it is difficult to get off! Works great at protecting paint from the love bugs here in Florida that can destroy a paint with etches.
Tim, really good comparison, I was surprised that Dawn Dish Soap was able to to degrade CSL after just a hand full of washings. My truck has CSL/EVO, in the spring it'll be polished off, and coated with Ethos Graphine. In the mean time It'd be great if you can come out with a graphine topper with your signature gloss.
Looking forward to seeing your results. Dawn is a powerful cleaner especially at full strength, that is why we use it in our testing as it is effective at breaking down products.
Tim really like the look of all Ethos products and have watched everything on UA-cam regarding Ethos products 👍 Please make you Ethos products available in the UK 🙏
@@henryfreeman6113 Pain is still a factor but we have his eagerness to do well since he sees all our commitment and support for his successful future. He has something additional to do it for, his wife was pregnant and didn't know it at the moment of his accident. According to the obstetrician she was apparently pregnant within the very same week of his accident. He had arm therapy and we are with him all hands on but still have to wait for his leg an additional week. He moves his leg but the pain is always a factor besides his two broken ribs.
This is bogus if one side didn't have etching I'd say point proven but they both do the exact same thing it's all in how u take care of your investment most of the people that get a car ceramic coated will take it to someone to have it cleaned and nobody uses dawn to wash a car lol 9h coatings and all the same .
You need to have someone evaluate the finishes that does not know which side which product is on, called blind test! Better yet have multiple ‘blind’ people look at it and rank which has better results, one person bias doesn’t tell me much >>>>
great information... ethos makes great products.. btw, I know it's a test hood but it's still painful watching that water dry and etch on that hood.lol.. someone else mentioned a topper are you guys looking at something like that?? if so make it real slick ... thanks again
barry bij Defy works great as a topper for maintenance and slickness. We might be working on something as well... Definitely painful for us to watch the etching as well!
@@ethoscarcare "We might be working on something as well..." I really hope so. I was more than a bit disappointed when you told me to use your Si02 products(defy & car soap) as a topper for your Graphene coating.
Rusty Cook why is that? We wouldn’t make a product that then makes the rest of our line up obsolete. Anyone of our products would work with our Graphene coating.
@@ethoscarcare Because you only get the full benefit of whatever the top layer is. Be it Graphene,Si02, Ti02, wax, sealant, or bird droppings. Why would I want to lose all the benefits you expounded about Graphene vs Si02? Not trying to be an ass here, you got my money over a month ago & I'm very happy with the results.
@Rusty Cook you dont lose any of the properties by using our maintenance products, we designed the chemistry to with Graphene and even other brands of ceramic, tio2, polymer, wax coatings. As mentioned we designed our products to work together and you will actually see improved performance using our Defy and Ceramic Shampoo with Graphene but dont just take our word for it, try it yourself.
Matt Johnson - AHS in our experience we are seeing a very easy wipe off, less tacky than some ceramics. Temperature and humidity do play a role so start off with a small section and work up from there to test the application.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ETHOS!! Great products👍👍 keep up the hard work guys

Nice to see! Installing Ethos Graphene Matrix
on a brand new Black Dodge RAM next week!
Great video here. I love the Graphene matrix coating 👌 as well as the Ethos line up of products👍 keep up the work Tim.

Can’t wait to get mines in. Ordered a bottle and so excited to protect my car
Let us know how it goes.
I don't get why you didn't compare your own graphene coating vs your own standard coating?
That's the video I was looking for
Good video Tim, very informative!! To be honest I've been waiting to see if you were going to make this video.
To further clarify, this video was shot before the release of the other video. We wanted to see our own findings with this type of comparison testing.

Graphene is also in vaxxin!
I love your video, that line is gold!

Isn’t Resist a Graphene topper?
@@platinumautoglasswindowtin88 the best there is :)

Looking forward to trying the Ethos line once my current supplies dwindle.
I recommend D3FY!
Jeez Humberto lives on UA-cam!
Remember, what I have written about the notifications brother man. I am also out of my turn from taking care of my cousin from the hospital.
Humberto Roche Garcia how is he doing?

@@henryfreeman6113 🙏🤙Really appreciate it.
I will get Ethos Graphene coating soon. Good job.
Great video Tim. Did not even know you posted this but seeing head to head comparisons with competitors is as honest as it gets.
All good products I've tried to use graphiene and crystal syrum
This is bogus if one side didn't have etching I'd say point proven but they both do the exact same thing it's all in how u take care of your investment most of the people that get a car ceramic coated will take it to someone to have it cleaned and nobody uses dawn to wash a car lol 9h coatings and all the same .
CSL works best after letting it cure for 2 weeks befire doing something like this

That's a great suggestion! Blind tests definitely provide more unbiased feedback.

Does your company use Ceramic Pro as well? How does a product like adams graphene compare to something like the Ceramic Pro Silver Package?
Going to put this on a car next weekend. How is the application different from a ceramic coating? I mean as far as removal...
Matt Johnson - AHS in our experience we are seeing a very easy wipe off, less tacky than some ceramics. Temperature and humidity do play a role so start off with a small section and work up from there to test the application.
2nd from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷
😁
Awesome stuff
Winner winner chicken dinner 🏆🥇
Camera is too far away. We cant see the side by side comparison.
Is the detail spray usable in the sun?
Tier 1 Detail Company it is usable in the sun for sure!
@@ethoscarcare boom, thanks guys! Love your products!
BIASED !!!!
