Jade which is their house brand. They purchased Adams so their coatings. I am certain that GlassParency and Ethos are also blended by B&B. B&B is one of the large blending companies.
Is Graphene the next big thing for coatings?

Also jax wax I believe and some of Extreme Solutions and Britemax and Detail King line up and probably many more. A good a question would be that I have looked for is and found no real answer is “ who is B&B’s competition what other blend are out there on a massive scale”

I know 3M own Meguiars maybe they make other companies products to?
Dupont is probably involved somehow some where.

It is something like Werner or Warner that is another blender.

Update on the Jade Graphene Pro
Photo from the day after it was pulled out of the garage.
Final walk around the day after.
Nice beading for Jade Graphene Pro from the first wash.
Calibrated eye says about 120
Topped off with Adams Graphene Detail Spray

I also saw your video to guz about picking up Kenzo I never used or test any of the IGL line above there premier and that was great was priced higher than everything else but performance was there. I’m wondering how it goes on weather it’s a PIA or some extra long flash time

Will see how Kenzo Graphene applies. I am really tempted to polish my Camaro to remove the cquartz TiO2 and apply Kenzo on it. Quartz+ should still be the same as the previous version meaning it is like any other coating.

I tend to agree. Although there is the flexibility of Graphene to consider. Boy everyone has jumped on the Graphene bandwagon. A lot of these same companies said it was all BS when Graphene coatings first started coming out. My how things change.

The graphene coatings coming out here in the states is coming from one blender for the most part. Just slap a new label and ship it. Gyeon, CarPro, Gtechniq, Dr. Beaseley`s and Fetnlab have not adopted it based on their testing and research. Until one of the big names adopts it then who knows if graphene infused coatings will stick around. IGL is big name but their coatings are pro grade anyway so its like whatever.

Time will tell. In my opinion it’s here to stay.
tacsystem did come out with a graphene top coat. If we are to believe they were or are the driving force behind the korean brands.
Probably people can relate to me but i think ethos really overhyped graphene and left a bad taste in my mouth in regards to graphene. For me personally i cringe when i see their products. lol I guess adam`s was not far behind if any and then we have turtle wax all over the internet the last year or so.
I saw Graphene detail spray the other day. So the regular DS you get at most probably 2 days of any sort of real protection. Infuse it with Graphene? I bet a whopping 4 now. I generally like Adam`s products, but without using it I bet their gallon of Graphene DS has as much Graphene as you`d need in a 16oz bottle to make a difference. The regular DS`s $45 a gallon, the Graphene one`s $50. Don`t see how they could give you more than a few droplets for only $5 more.
GUZ just saw your post with the pic of it, I should have known you`d have it. Is it worth the extra $5 for a gallon? If I`m to believe the reviews on Adam`s site, it make your car shine like it was coated with a high end professional coating lol. I mean it is only a few bucks more maybe I need to live it up and order a bottle and see.

I hear ya. Tim surely put off a lot of people. I saw it when he was getting push back in the obsessed garage facebook group. Its legit when Turtle Wax develops it lol.
Give it a shot is going to be my answer lol. I will say that it is better than the SPS Graphene Spray Detailer. Better gloss, slickness and hydrophobics.
You can check out Scoot H`s videos and you can see it is still around at 60 days.
