Adam's Polishes Advanced Graphene Ceramic Coating - 10H Graphene Coating for Auto Detailing with 9+ Years of Automotive Protection & Patented UV Technology

I was always scared to try ceramic because of how difficult it can be to mess up. I gotta say this was not difficult. Labor intensive? Very. Difficult? No. This is a solid weekend project. My flow was wash>iron removal>synthetic clay>polish>strip wash>surface prep>ceramic. I had already done a two stage correction when I got it, but since then I've only used waxes and sealants. The polishing brought it back and got out all the new swirls. As far as the graphene, I watched the Adam's livestream of how to use their advanced graphene and it taught me a lot. I applied it, waited for the rainbow to dissipate, and waited for it to sweat. Then I used the suede towel, which felt grabby on the surface as they described in the video to level it out. Then I used the white towel to buff it off. The coating itself only took about 3 hours to do the painted surfaces. I applied in a crosshatch pattern in smaller sections along the body lines to ensure it wasn't sitting for too short or too long, because my environment was uncomfortably hot and humid which decreased the cure time. The UV part was pretty useless on my car. Maybe more helpful on a lighter shade. Ignoring the prep, I give the actual application of the product a 7/10 on the easiness scale. It really wasn't hard. It definitely gives the car a very high gloss. It is incredibly shiny. It's not deep like a carnauba wax though. If you're willing to give up the better part of a weekend, you can have a coating that will last years and save thousands DIYing it. It should be noted that per their videos, you can use this stuff on many things. Any exterior surface of the car, glass cook tops, shower doors... You name it. I used exactly one bottle on an Audi Q7 and S5, covering both exteriors completely minus the wheels. Keep in mind that the applicators and towels are one time use. They'll get crusty when the ceramic dries. So if you wanna do multiple coats or different things on different days, have some extra applicators and towels ready. Also, once you open the bottle it will start curing, so close it in between panels and use it promptly. Update: Washed it for the first time and the hydrophobicity is amazing. I completely dried the car towel free with only a small battery powered blower, the kind you would use to blow sawdust off a workbench or something. If I had a real leaf blower I could probably dry this thing in less than a minute. 3 month update: Hydrophobicity is minimally degraded. I'll use a synthetic clay mitt to bring it back. Car still easily dries with a blower. Also want to add you may find some information on the internet saying you don't need to level the coating on plastic, like the gray stuff on bumpers. You absolutely must level and remove the coating just like on paint or glass or you will get white streaks that are essentially impossible to remove. I used it on the plastic rockers on the S5 and the entire grille of the Q7, which has a ton of gray plastic. I thoroughly cleaned and surface prepped, and then applied the ceramic in the same manner as the rest of the car, although deciding when to level and remove it is a guessing game because it won't rainbow or sweat. It deepened the color and restored it to how it looked new. No more chalky, oxidized plastic trim! One year update: This stuff is still going strong. Water beading is still outstanding, I can still dry the car completely with a leaf blower, and the shine is immaculate. I have not touched up the coating at all except for a handful of applications of Adam's graphene detail spray. I never used a clay mitt on it as I said I would, and apparently that's not good for the coating anyway so I'm glad I didn't. Thoroughly impressed with how it has held up after a year. I would not hesitate to use this again, but apparently I don't need to. I went ahead and finally did my brake calipers and wheels, and wow. The brake dust just rinses right off. It's amazing. I really don't even need to touch them.

I was impressed with the kit and with the results. I will admit being a bit worried about applying a "permanent" coating, mostly that I'd somehow screw it up. However, it's more forgiving than I was fearing. The kit had the ceramic/graphene coating, some suede-like polishing cloths, two delightfully fluffy detailing towels, two suede-like applicator sponges, and two very cute small spray bottles of surface prep and "graphene boost". I applied this to a 1997 BMW Z3 convertible which has mostly lived a charmed life indoors and out of harm's way. Nevertheless, it had some water spotting and paint imperfections which I "mostly" resolved with a little polishing compound and a clay bar. I was not about to let perfection be the enemy of good here. The surface prep spray really did a great job of removing the last little bits of stuff that I missed in my prep, and then the application of the graphene ceramic coating went remarkably smoothly. I applied a bit, moved it around, buffed it off, and ... nothing screwy happened. It looks great. Shiny as all get out. And slick to the touch. The next day I put it outside and set about some other anal-retentive cleaning tasks, and noticed that some overspray from putting 303 on the tires just fell clean off the paint. I'm going to spray this thing with water tomorrow just to see how aggressively it beads up - I might even add a photo. All in all this was a great kit, and it wasn't as scary as I was fearing. Highly recommended. But I'm not sure I have the patience to do this to my minivan.

Love Adam’s products, but let’s be truthful, I have done this coating and the other one that’s not “advanced”. Advertising “9 years” is a joke, misleading, and completely false. Maybe it lasts 9 years on the roof, but it’s been 1.5 years, the coating is non existent on the sides of the vehicle……It’s only been hand washed, it’s been maintained with their suggested product, was applied to a brand new car, paint was clean. Actually I’ve had the same results in all 3 applications I’ve done: brand new car, 1 year old car, brand new vinyl wrapped truck. I don’t have anything against the product, but let’s be realistic with advertising. Just call it what it is and I’ll pay the same price 1-2 year coating for vertical surfaces, longer for horizontal.

I bought 2 of these kits because I didn't think that small bottle would be enough to cover a large 2024 Super Duty truck. I watched several videos on you tube before taking on this task. I know my brother paid over a thousand bucks to have his done but for me I try to do things my self. First thing I done was wash it extra good, then used the prep product first. Kept the truck in a controlled place and kept the temperature around 70 degrees. It took me 2 evenings to do this following the instructions. I used the ceramic covering sparingly but covered all of it properly. Spent extra time making sure to cover all the plastic and left some of the product on it as it made it look better. Also used it on the rubber moldings. I did cover the back glass but not the rest. I ended up not needing the second box kit, I had enough. My truck is only about 5 months old and it looks greater now. I also covered the wheels. Seems to stay cleaner and easy to clean. Well worth it. Did a lot of research on the different brands as this one seemed to come out on top of several. The main thing is to make sure it is very clean and no scratches. I did not buff out my truck as some will do, being only 5 months old as mine is, I had been careful not to let it get scratched yet. Very fine product. I now have a second complete kit, so I will save it for summer and may do my wife's car then. The kit has every thing you need except the cleaner to wash it. I had my own secret cleaner being a retired janitor I knew what would be safe but have an industrial clean result. You may wont to go out and buy 2 extra microfiber wiping towels even though they give you 2 in the kit. It will come in handy to wipe it off better with extra clean rags. It says to give it 48 hours to dry but read some where it could take up to a week to cure completely. So I kept it out of any rain for a least 4 days. It's all good. I recommend this product kit.

I have been using Adam’s Polishes products for the past seven years and have applied the Advanced Graphene Ceramic Coating several times on different vehicles. This was the first time I didn’t have to correct any high spots, which I attribute to using multiple microfiber towels to gently buff away any remaining product. For this application, I performed a light paint correction on my 2025 Tahoe, which had been previously treated with Adam’s Graphene Spray Coating about 10 months ago when I first purchased it. After polishing, I wiped the surface down with the included surface prep and then applied the Graphene Ceramic Coating. Once the coating flashed, I buffed it first with the included suede towel, followed by the provided white microfiber towel. Preparation and Application Steps: 1. Strip wash using an electric pressure washer 2. Clay mitt and clay bar treatment with detail spray 3. Paint correction and polish 4. Surface prep wipe-down 5. Ceramic coating application The results are outstanding — my black Tahoe now has an incredible shine. Water beads and slides right off the surface, and removing bugs or droppings is effortless. Highly recommend.
