That`s a pretty good name, too! I ended up with Coating Caddy. some other guy came up with it.
I think 50ml might be the biggest that one fits in the black one? The blue should fit up to 100ml.
I had a chance to hold a few other coatings, some in 60ml. Ended up making another one that holds 4 bottles, no applicators. Slightly taller, and with a center "post" for additional rigidity.

The one thing that I’m surprised that hasn’t happened is more coating moving to a hardener catalyst two part coating something like a traditional 30-50ml bottle of coating that came with5-10 mild hardener in a small separate bottle to mix together when applying. Some coatings do this Aquartz (not Cquartz) and johns360 and a few others.
it just seems like that would be a good move no guessing games with applications. Temp doesn’t really matter. And cure time would probably a few hours before the vehicle was able to be released. I would think durability would get a boost nothing major like double but there’s a lot of variables taken out when switching to hardener/catalyst 2part formula. It would be more consistent results.
This might be a turn off or intimidating to potential customers but I would certainly welcome it.

Thanks for the pic, wish I had saved my box to check. I remember when ordering there was a note about packaging being changed:
"AS OF 11/6/2020 NV NOVA EVO PACKAGING HAS CHANGED. THE 7X7 PACKAGING HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED "
Well, fool me once, shame on me...but fool me twice? From the Waxit website regarding NV Nova Evo:
“If you are looking for a professional grade coating that can be purchased at any level, this is a fantastic choice. Crazy durability, chemical resistance, water behaviour, gloss… Nova EVO does it all."
Nova EVO is a silica and diamond powder infused coating. This professional grade hybrid coating was created in the quest for a paint protective solution that incurred no compromise. The revolutionary coating boasts extreme levels of elemental protection & chemical resistance. Nova EVO can help mitigate light swirling & scratching through its unique friction eliminating surface structure. While Nova EVO creates a hardened sacrificial layer, this is not the underlying factor that helps mitigate swirls which a lot of companies misconstrue. With the addition of diamond powder the coating has a much stronger bond to the surface, also allowing it to last up to 3 years!"
I`ve always rolled my eyes at a particular coating mfg who touted their coatings` "Diamond-Infused 10h hardness" because it contained carbon (which turns into diamond in literally about a Billion years).
So now it turns out that I`ve used a coating (and quite honestly, really enjoyed it) with possible graphene *and* diamond in it, 2 things of which I`m somewhat skeptical. Methinks perhaps Karma is telling me it`s time to stop engaging in this coating nonsense...it`s like I`m not even paying attention anymore
I will admit to my heart being a bit heavy when I first saw that...
Fortunately I believe they will still be producing the non-graphene V2 of Stance, still my favorite wheel coating. The appeal of it (in addition to performance) is how easy it is to use. Very forgiving so can cover a lot of area before removal; the V3 w/ graphene is apparently a bit more cantankerous to use.
Hopefully the World eases up a bit by Summer so I`ll be able to ask him about that if the Annual Open House takes place and he is able to fly in for it...unfortunately 2 big IF`s at this point I`d say.
STEK had/has a coating that is like this as well.
Johns360??? How do you find this stuff

Reply from US Distributor on the graphene/diamond-powder thing:
Thanks for reaching out. Nv Evo has both SIO2 and Graphene contents in it, this has been a part of the formulation since the products inception. The second statement which you found on wax it’s website, is the same statement in different terms which are more applicable to their Australian audience. Silica referring to SIO2 and diamond powder being graphene. We have not heavily marketed the graphene contents, as our primary focus has and always will be the real world functionality and results that the product provides, as opposed to what is in the coating. However, like in this instance, we are always happy to discuss the contents when requested.
Let me know if you have any additional questions, and thank you for your business.

While we likely won`t have any rain to watch any time soon, a little snowmelt on the Gloss Shop Titan: https://youtu.be/OqFI54xhL3U

LOL @BudgetPlan1,i probably would`ve of bought Nv Evo either if i knew it had graphene! lol I have the same box that Mike the Guz posted. It indeed states graphene infused.

I gotta give NV Nova `bonus points` for not marketing it as a graphene coating...perhaps they have learned from others! I think the interesting part of their statement is "Silica referring to SIO2 and diamond powder being graphene.".
I always kinda chuckled at IGL w/ their "Diamond-Infused` claims for Kenzo (who are now marketing Kenzo as graphene-infused)...curious as to whether the `new` Kenzo is the same formulation as the old and they merely switched from "diamonds" to "graphene" in their description? From what NV said, it`s the same formulation in their case, just different descriptions for different markets.
Regardless, the NV Nova was one of the more interesting products I have used in the last few seasons, I hope it does well. I have 1 more to do this Winter (Shine Supply Beadlock Pro) but I`m really having trouble working up the motivation to get it done :shrug:
On a related note, the Gloss Shop Titan and NV Nova coating leftovers are curing somewhat differently on my desk. There was slightly more (maybe 10ml) of Titan vs maybe 5ml of NV Nova but the Evo is setting up quicker and clearer than Titan. Still a little `push` with Titan while EVO is kinda firm to the touch. Will give `em another week then cut off the plastic cups and see what remains.

Thats interesting about Kenzo. I noticed on Scott H longterm tests that kenzo and SPS graphene are neck to neck on a few youtube updates.
Nv Nova Evo doesn`t have that gray look though. Not sure about IGL Kenzo.
I`m also surprised sandro didn`t mention the graphene in Nv Evo. Thats assuming he`s aware of it.
I jumped the gun again, i just put Evo up to the light! Grayish type substance has settled to the bottom!! Carpro cquartz 3.0 is very clear and water like.
Hilarious i ended up with a graphene infused ninja coating! :
I would post a picture but i tried lastnight and it was an headache. Never did figure it out. Chromebooks are a little tricky.
