    Re: SPS Graphene coating

    Totally disagree with your opinion of SPS products. Been using them a long time. Coated the wife’s suv about 9 months ago, just zero bucket wash it and no detail spray. Outside 24/7 and still rejects water as good as the day I did it. No water spotting at all. I hear the same thing from clients who went with the graphene on the second go around of coating.

    The other issue is finding a consumer level product to purchase. I couldn`t find one besides the detail sprays.

    Re: SPS Graphene coating

    As far as a consumer product, extremely easy and inexpensive, I’ve been using the spray coating for our 1 year offering, as we don’t believe in wax or sealant, and find it to be an excellent product

    So you are recommending the graphene spray detailer and not he graphene coating? I will see if I can find the Adams.

    The graphene spray coating, not the detailer. Amazon has it

    Sorry, didn’t realize that. I’d contact Adam’s and see what they say

    I usually do one coat of CSL and 2 (or until I run out) of exo. I will continue to stick with that. This last coating on my truck has lasted really well.
    Are you looking into trying one of these graphene coatings?

    You may disagree but I have seen no benefit to these so called graphene infused coatings. SPS seems to spot just as much as a ceramic so for me it has not lived up to the less prone to water spotting claims. As a matter of fact it spotted quicker than any other ceramic coating I have used. It is also not as durable and needs constant care. Much more so than a ceramic because once it starts to degrade it degrades fairly quick. It also marrs easier than some of the ceramics I have used.

    One of the nice benefits of it is that it is slick to the touch and also the tighter water beading.

    As I mentioned in my long thread it is a placebo effect when someone states it looks better than a silica product. Place it side by side and the look is not that noticeable. Especially on a lighter colored paint. We want it to be better so subconsciously we believe it to be better when in reality it is just another variation of a coating whether it is good or bad.

    We often get sucked in and drink the kool aid so to speak when the next buzzword comes along. Not saying you did but saying it as a figure of speech.

    I am sure the next version of SPS will be much better as they essentially leveraged off the history of silica.

    Plenty of brands offer a graphene infused coating if that is what you are looking for. I listed all of the consumer ones that I was aware of off the top of my head.

    I’m sorry but I’m not sucked in by the marketing or hype. I find the complete opposite results from what you’ve stated.

    It didn`t much like being ignored from December thru April here in NE Ohio. Was pretty nice from May thru November though, quite nice, actually but Winter took its toll.

    I see you didn`t read it carefully. Where did I say you were sucked in?

    Yeah I am already starting to see it degrade on my personal car again after a few months and I have been topping it with the spray detailer about every other wash.

    Re: SPS Graphene coating

    It seems graphene coatings must have a chemical that cannot be air shipped. So I have not found anyone what will ship to hawaii.

    I am totally not buying into the hype but I would like to try and test it out. I`m willing to give it a shot especially if it means it`s easier to apply. My truck goes through a lot and CSL/EXO has been pretty good but can be a lot of work to apply. But maybe I`m just being cry baby.

    Re: SPS Graphene coating

    If you find Exo and CSL to be a lot of work to apply I suggest you lower your expectations when trialling other coatings because they don`t come much easier.
