Adam's Graphene Ceramic Coating - Bottled Insanity
The Adam's Graphene Ceramic Coating has been one of the most requested products since my review of the Adam's Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating last year. This product promises to be the big daddy to the spray bottle version with 7 years of durability, a claim of 10H hardness, and a very pretty application. In today's test we will measure gloss, test the installation, check it's UV blocking capabilities, durability test, assess the slickness, and determine how pretty it looks. Is this the best coating to protect your baby during car washes?

@@DmitrysGarage Ended up being a great video overall and I did subscribe, but I was a little disappointed with the gloss testing section. I REALLY appreciate you even have this, but when the coating performed worse than just the polished panel, you went on to describe the coating potentially increasing the gloss of a more weathered/oxidized panel. Would have liked some sort of proof to back up this claim, as it seemed a bit like a cover for the coating not performing as well as one might expect. I'll definitely have to watch more of your videos and see what other coatings have scored.
@DmitrysGarage
2 жыл бұрын
Kris, glad to have your viewership :). I think doing a test on a weathered panel to test the hypothesis may be a great idea. Maybe thats a future video. The gloss scoring has always been a contentious test. There are several things going on; first the definition of gloss is all over the map in common parlance. Sometimes people think I’m measuring how pretty and glossy it looks visually. While its really just a measure of how much light is reflected. The second thing is like you saw in the video, the panel is polished to about the same level as highly polished paint. This means that its very hard to make it look glossier. Lastly virtually all products have this problem. Its just hard to smear something on a thing thats very shiny and make it stay shiny or make it shinier. Ill see what kind of test we can rig up, but ultimately in this test we’re mostly looking to see that it doesn’t reduce gloss/light reflection much.
Big thumbs up, most youtubers just go too super aggressive chemicals too test "durability" Much respect dude.

Well done! I liked the explanation of 10H hardness value. I have a black-painted car, and the surface shows the slightest swirl easily when viewed at an angle in direct sunlight. To me, the hydrophobic quality is quite appealing. I am guessing the hardness of the coating is not a match for dust particles which would be mostly sand (silica). So, the hydrophobic quality would allow me to minimize even light scrubbing during washing the car at home, and get the soap to remove the dirt through 'beading off' during rinsing. This would minimize swirl marks. Am I right?
@DmitrysGarage
2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching! Im glad you liked my video :). Black cars are hard to maintain, but can be very beautiful. Hydrophobicity and slickness are both key to avoiding swirls from a product perspective. Hydrophobicity helps keep the surface clean and slickness of the product helps lubricate while you wash. Of course good washing technique is key as well!

Really appreciate the info on the hardness scale as it pertains to these coatings. I’m not old, but I’m old school as it pertains to paint protection. I’ve tried various ceramic-infused toppers, but still not any coatings. Down the road, I’d appreciate your perspective on modern products compared to the better waxes that we know won’t last nearly as long. As a part-time detailer, I’m quite conflicted with the idea of promising anyone ‘success for years.’ It’s not intended to be out of ignorance, but of concern. Thanks for all your efforts on this video!

Thanks Justin! Yea its always a challenge to really promise multi-year. Nothing ever lasts quite as long as the marketing in my real world experience. People play musical cars a lot so my guess is the better coatings outlast the ownership. I would believe this coating to last multiple years in most conditions, but 7 is a big number. One challenge too is how customers wash their cars, if they send it through the swirl installing automatic wash of mayhem twice a week it will probably come off fast. I do test all kinds of products and the video description has a link to the prior tests. I have tested out some older and more traditional products and continue to do so. If there is something you’re curious about I can ad it to the list :)
I can only imagine how many washes this would tolerate if you were using the shampoo that is meant for the ceramic coatings and the reload spray that is supposed to fortify its durability. This seems like an incredible product. I wonder how much better the advanced formula is compared to this product.

@@NewtonNuggets You would wash it with pH neutral products by hand so that it doesn't get prematurely abraded, which is a good practice anyway if you don't want scratches. A good coating should last without you having to constantly apply something on top and then you just re-do it in a few years. Chances are after a few years you'll have a few scratches and spots you want to paint correct anyway which is why the premise of say a 9 year coating is kind of silly. They know you'll either sell the car or paint correct it and re-coat before that sort of time runs out.

So I think two is fine to make sure you got all the spots with a nice even coat. However realistically you will want to polish the car again in a few years anyway. Swirls will appear over time, the more careful you are the longer it will take. I typically re-polish within 3 years or if the coating fails sooner.

Jason, thank you for the kind words! I’ve been using the Adam’s graphene myself and I’m very happy with it thus far. For the topper/reload/recharge products; It is my opinion they work much like your short term ceramic (silica) sprays. You’re just sealing on top of the coating and the coating will effectively never appear to wear off. I prefer to let the coating do the work and see how well it really holds out. Especially since a huge selling point of coatings is that they eliminate constant waxing/sealing through longevity and durability. Where ill use a reload or silica spray sealant is for high wear area patching and also on surfaces that just don’t hold coating well, like chrome. This lets me extend the life of the coating instead of having to redo the whole car because a few areas are wearing down.
