Hello and ti kanis Pan. So I just bought a brand new Mazda 2021 CX-5 with 20 miles on it. I looked extensively at the car paint with a fine tooth comb and it is perfect (no swirls scratches etc). So what do you recommend on a brand new car before applying Adam's AGCC?? Just a good wash and IPA? Or a good wash, IronX, clay bar and IPA? Or a good wash, ironx, clay bar, light polish, and IPA? And many thanks for your channel...it is awesome... Kai Kali Xronia 2022. PS. Did you apply Adam's AGCC also on the plastics? And if you did, did you again use IPA on them (remembering that this is brand new car just like your girlfriends). Thanks.
Congrats on your new CX-5! I have many new cars detailing videos on my channel so I highly recommend that you watch them to get an understanding of what steps I perform on a newly delivered vehicle. Here's one of those videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tjJPcdCUaK8.html Here's a video I also made with my brother's new Mazda CX-5 when he had taken delivery: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H2Dubmfg7eI.html Even a new car is NEVER brand new when you take delivery. I explain why in this popular video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QgoyrC-5CMc.html The key to establish a strategy for detailing your specific vehicle is inspect the paint. If it looks perfect and has zero scratches, you can skip the polishing stages. If it feels smooth to the touch, especially in the lower parts of the door panels, and you don't feel contamination, you can skip the claybar (as that can add marring to the paint, so you would usually need to follow up with machine polishing steps). Also, if the dealership applied a cheap wax prior to delivery, you will absolutely have to machine polish to ensure 100% removal of what ever protection there is on there before applying a ceramic coating. If not, the coating won't bond properly. If there water is beading on your paint right now, it's most likely the case that they applied some cheap crap on there. So you have to remove any previous protection. The bare minimum would be to wash the car with a stripping shampoo, then use an iron remover, then IPA wipe with a paint prep, then apply the coating. The best scenario would be to wash with a stripping shampoo, then use iron remover, then claybar, then at least a light polish, IPA wipe and then apply the coating.
What a great, informative video. I just picked up a new car and think the prices for someone to ceramic coat it is outrageous. I admit I was intimidated by what I read about the process. Then I came across your videos. It’s really great to see and hear the level of detail you provide and the results! Thanks for taking the time to help us weekend warriors work up the nerve to DIY!

@@PanTheOrganizer That's a ton of views. Doesn't surprise me given the quality of the videos. I started searching ceramic coating and car detailing in January when I picked up the car. I remember you saying in this video you've been detailing since you were 16, very nice. I subscribed and will be browsing your channel for recommendations, tips and tricks. Want to keep the new Tesla in showroom condition! Already forwarded your videos to my buddies. Looking forward to watching more. Cheers!
You’re very knowledgeable. That’s why we come to your channel. Your honest comments, on these products, is fair, and unbiased. If I wanna good quality product, to coat my car, I’ll come to your channel, to find out, what’s good, and not so good?👍Very detailed info too.
OK Pan, you got me. I've watched 5or 6 of your videos now and after watching this one I've decided that when my new RAV4 shows up it's going to get the Adams Advanced Graphene treatment. Your simple yet detailed instructions are so easy to understand. Even though I've been OCD about keeping my vehicles clean for over 55 years, I've learned things from every single one of your videos. Thank you!

Ty again Pan for yet another wonderful adventure into some new products and wow it came up stunning. I also love the fact you support fellow developers and detailers by showing us their products in real time real life usage. TY mate really enjoyed this one. Keep Safe Keep Strong Love and hugs from Australia
@@PanTheOrganizer I always appreciate your yearly “best detailing products” video. But, overall favorite? I can’t pin it to single video. I’ve watched several of your ceramic application and maintenance tutorials more than once.
Just when I thought he's already the best ever, he continues to redefine what his best is and produces another top of the line video! The best are never satisfied and never rest on their laurels! This was fantastic! Every video improves on the previous! Excellent work my friend 🙏🏽💯👍🏽
@@PanTheOrganizer Ahh come on PAN! I simply love your content and the way that you deliver it. There are WAY WAY TOO MANY TO LIST. I've never missed one! Loved the Q&A with the Turtlewax guys a few years back. Super informative and you were asking EVERY SINGLE QUESTION that I wanted to know about. Love your torture tests. Love all your tips and tricks that you share because I use them all every time! It's just by far my favorite channel on RU-vid in all categories! And believe me when I say this... I watch them multiple multiple times to really learn from your teaching. I've been a teacher and a football coach in high-school here near Nashville for 19 years, so motivating and inspiring and teaching the details are what I do for my passion and for a living, and you my friend do it as good as anybodyI've ever come across! You definitely found your calling! It's a pleasure to learn from you and be thoroughly entertained by you and your channel at the same time! A big shout out to the best in the business....PAAAAAAN THE ORGANIZER!!!!
This was one of my favourite videos as I’ve applied Adam’s regular ceramic coating. Coming up on a year in April and still going as strong as new. Only on the windshield is it starting to wear off due to the friction of the wiper blades. Thanks for another awesome video, Pan!
I have Adams advanced graphene coating on my car and I would recommend reapplying the coating on the windshield every few months. And if you don't have the time to let it cure for the full 24 hours if your using the normal Adams ceramic coating. Id recommend that you get the advanced graphene spray coating and use that instead its actually much easier to work with and only take 4 or so hours to cure depending on the climate its curing in.
Thanks again, Pan. Now I’m doing my part, to help the “algorithm” 😊👍🏾. I used the “Adams Advanced Graphene” line and I have been very impressed and satisfied. I especially like their Graphene Tire Dressing. I really appreciate Your, Work, Effort, Philosophy and Nike Collection 😅 (really cool BTW 👍🏾). Appreciate Ya! Cheers and Happy 2024
Great video Pan! I was using Adam products back in 2004 and still use their shampoos. Adam's is not one of the "new sexy" brands and people like to knock their products, but this video proves they still make great products. That's some of the best hydrophobicity and sheeting I have seen, especially in the context of how dirty this vehicle was before the wash.
I followed your advice on Adams and did a customers verhicle with the Advanced. I am looking forward to the first maintenance wash now (weather permitting) and I believe the products from Adams will be in my work bay by that time. Thank you for this very awesome update :)
I really, really, enjoy your videos!! I have successfully applied the graphene coating on my Tahoe thanks to your amazing tutorials! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge!

I applied this Adams Advanced Graphene Coating on my vehicle and I love it.My car is driven on the weekend when it’s not snowing or loaded with salt 🧂 on the roads. I use all Adams products and they work well for me and the people I take care of their cars. I do have other products as well but always stand behind Adams products.Glad this is the outcome for this product.Great video as always Pan✊
Oh yes! Her Rogue looks just like my CX-30 did yesterday, I'm in Michigan and Winter weather storms have begun. I had fun taking care of business and getting it nice and shiney again....at least for a little while. Thanks for sharing this update.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you for your concern Pan! I'm doing a lot better. Your content has genuinely helped me out a lot! I can't thank you enough Pan🙏🏻.
I'm glad to hear that! My viewers' health, both mental and physical, is always important. Glad to hear my videos can make a difference in your day Konsta! ;)
I had a Tesla model 3 for over 3 years and never used the wipers. I kept the windshield very clean and used Adams Graphene Spray on it every couple few months. Got a new Model 3 in December and now im using the advanced ceramic spray on all the glass. I believe the wipers wear the coatings down more than anything else. ty
Another great video, Pan. And correct me if I'm wrong, but 60ML of the Adams Graphene is actually twice the volume as most products, right - so $113 is really comparable to $57, yes? So, here's my thing, and I've mentioned this before in other comments. I don't care what I tell people, their life isn't going to allow them to take care of a car the way they should. They have more than 40 hour a week jobs, multiple kids playing this and that sport or whatever activity, parents, in-laws, season tickets, etc. No matter what you or I or anyone tells them, they are going to abuse the car. They are going to use the tunnel wash all spring and summer, an then go most the winter without washing the car at all. That's the real world. They want a nice looking car, but not at the expense of these other things. How would you service that person? What products would you put on their car? How long until they realistically need a full revamp of everything you do? If they are going to use the tunnel wash, should they use the full treatment and get the tunnel spray wax thing as a sacrificial layer, or should they skip that because they have the ceramic coating you put on and the wash is enough? I challenge anyone to do that video, I've watched all you guys and I've never seen it.

Thanks for the great video Pan. Glad to see I am not the only one who can be dripping with sweat and still have a smile on my face and be giddy at how great our cars look. The wife and neighbors think I walk to a different beat. They are right! Can't wait for summer to get here again. P.S. The car looks awesome!
You and me both! :) I hate winter. And it's awesome you think the same way David. For those of us who walk to a different beat, it's not just our cars that are clean, our lives are usually on point as well. It goes hand in hand. Clean car, organized life. :)
Hi, new to the channel and great work on the graphene ceramic review. Ive been detailing cars as a pass time for over 25 years and Adams products are excellent in achieving a clean shiny ride.

Great video Pan! The video and audio quality was excellent. I would recommend doing this again. You know I love my Adams products. I use the Graphene shampoo and the Graphene detail spray as a topper weekly and have been very impressed with the results. Keep up the top-notch content!!
Lol... Getting dizzy! When you spin... We all spin! Awesome video. I'm researching whether or not I will apply my own protection to a car I am planning on getting. Spending $1300 is a lot to have a pro do it.
Audio and video were great. Excellent to see continuous filming and not the "hold on while I move the camera" disruptions. I've been using the inexpensive, short term ceramic sprays and this video has convinced me to take the leap into a full graphene coating. This video, combined with Dmitry's Garage video where he washed the Adam's Graphene coating 840 times before it failed, have convinced me to go with the Adam's Graphene "regular" coating and the other Adam's Graphene shampoo & Quick Detailer for the maintenance.
Really liked the video. Live in Florida and detail many cars. I almost went with Adam's graphene, but ended up selecting 303's nano graphene. I have been having amazing results with it on my own vehicles and many customer's vehicles. Same kind of amazing results you had in this video with Adam's graphene products. Will be applying the new 303 graphene detailer in a few months and after seeing your results I am excited to enhance the finish by doing so. Thank you for doing this and all of your "real world detailing videos". Really enjoy your content. Again... THANK YOU!
Hello Pan from St John’s NL. Really loved your comment about it doesn’t matter what kinda of car you drive but if you have the Passion for detailing then there is better feeling when your car is clean. It’s a passion And those of us who have it have it. I am a Porsche lover , probably never have one but your 911 turbo S is stunning. Keep up the great videos. Rob K
Wow your winters are harsh up there. I think the coating is working extremely well and be careful not to slip in all the gloss which is dripping. Thank you for the video.
Can you do a short simple video showing all of your detailing products that you have on your shelves? I think that would be very interesting to some like myself, I see some simple off the shelf products that you can walk in and pick up along with some high end specialty stuff. Just a quick overview of all the products that you have used in the past etc. My shelves look like yours with all the different things I've tried for different scenarios.
Excellent products doing their job. The lighting was not sufficient for us to see the tires and rim but saw a bit!! Impressed with the end result, looks good. Good job with the video also.
The audio and video were wonderful. I watched on my iPad Pro. First person was OK, too. As always, I love your enthusiasm and energy. Your joy in detailing cars shines through and helps spread that same feeling to me. Thank you so very, very much for sharing your time and talent with us for free!!
The Adam's products are great products for the price, they work well and are easy to use. This video was a great example demonstrating the quality of this product, their claim is seven plus years and I believe it! Pam this was another great video!!
I will be using this, this weekend on my new Model Y. I would hope that it is still working well for you after a few months, if it is supposed to give protection for 9 years.
I have a 2 year update that I will produce in October on my girlfriend’s SUV so stay tuned. And since you have a Tesla Model Y, for inspiration, see my Tesla Model Y full detailing video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gohks8xP5NY.html
Honestly, I have been extremely impressed by Adam's graphene shampoo, I usually use either the Adam's classic blue one or Reset and their graphene is now part of my top 3 favorite ever.
@@PanTheOrganizer I'm truly grateful (and lucky) to have encountered your channel while in search of product reviews. You've taught me a lot in the past weeks that I have been absorbing the content you offer. I am so relieved by your in-depth lessons on using every product the right way; so many other content providers hoard some very basic tips and offer little by way of explaining the order to detailing and that leaves an underwhelming satisfaction in using the products. You've helped me to make some very informed choices- NO REGRETS! By the way, have you ever covered the damage caused by the use and substitution of automotive-specific cleaning products with other detergents such as dish-washing and laundry detergents?¹
Lmao I love how passionate Pan is about detailing! I strayed away from it because the most I could make was $15/h which is not liveable in a city but I still do my own car and use Adams and love their products very much
Yes pan after the adams shampoo the bedding much much better 100% All the the best pan . Please say hello the your family an the your dog All the best Stewart 👍👍
Hi Pan, I love your Videos for the clarity, first person view fells dizzy... Its difficult to track around different parts... I'm sure a lot of people will agree... Love your enthusiasm....!
Actually most viewers appreciated the first person view and it was a nice change of pace with the style of this video. On a few did not care for GoPro style footage. Hard to please everyone unfortunately.
Yes you can expect my awesome Sony A7S III camera in the majority of my videos so no worries. The GoPro will only be there when needed for a different perspective. ;)
I watched your video on an LG OLED 4K TV and it looked and sounded just fine, brother! So, it looks like I’m going to be giving Adam’s Graphene products a try. If your impressed, then it should be good enough for me. Hoping you hit that 1,000,000 soon!!
Great video Pan! The GoPro was a little difficult to watch lol!! The one thing that I found on a windshield, once I used a clay cloth on the glass after the wash, the hydrophobics came back. Not to the 100% of the original coat but the level was better than just a maintenance wash. Can’t wait to see your 4-6 month update on the car
I should have you wash my car and do a 1 year update on Adams original graphene. It's an Arizona car and has been washed 3 or 4 times at most in that year. It's still working great also. Prefer the Ethos though, did my wife's car with that at about the same time. Seems to bead better and have better "self cleaning" in the rain.
loving the Go Pro camera view.......its like Pan in VR mode 😁😁💯 warm water always a must during winter car maint. in Scotland, need to keep our hands warm, but use Sealskinz gloves now too. AM Rain is good for glass, and workable in cold temps too.
Once again another amazing video. I love that you always tell us the truth and don't hide anything. I always wonder how much money you have spent on all this video making and trying products?
Thanks! I stopped counting how much money I spend on products, as throughout 25 years of detailing, it's in the tens of thousands easily. It's beyond a passion, it's an obsession haha. Always in the quest of finding the next best thing.
@@PanTheOrganizer since you have so many videos and it's hard to go through. Have you done one on Superior Products? I use their products on a daily basis and love them, great price for what they're giving you. Thank you
Just want to say I love your channel! I've watched so many of your videos. I drive a semi truck and I try to keep it pretty tight and clean. What would you suggest to maintain my windshield that's not a squeegee. I have a ceramic coating on it so I hate to put some degreaser on it to take off bug guts. Thanks !
Wooow Pan big update on that Adam’s coating and it stand up good for the 2 months no water 💧spot and that’s what we’re looking for haha 🤣 that video was amazing you hit the nail on the head with this one Pan I really enjoyed it and that coating making his name lol 😂 much love and respect ✊ Pan have a great afternoon 👍👍👍👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯💯💯👌👌👌👌✊✊✊🔐🔐🔐👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great video and love your conversational tone! I have a new 2022 Tesla Model 3 and going to apply Adam's graphene coating. A few questions, 1) do you need to wash with a no protection shampoo and the Adam's shampoo w/graphene or can you just use the Adam's product? 2) Do you apply the graphene the same way on the wheels? I want to coat them to reduce brake dust and grime 3) What prep is needed on a new car before applying a graphene coating? Thanks.
Hi Bob. Once you are done applying the coating, you wait two weeks before you start washing the car again. After that, you can use which ever wax-free pH neutral car shampoo you want to wash the car. To see all the required steps to apply a coating, watch my popular tutorial here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sqQYVjxFqK0.html Also, congrats on Your Model 3! Come back on Saturday April 30 to see a special Tesla video on my channel. I think you will love it. ;)
Lone Star makes some phenomenal tire coatings. They have a matte and Gloss. I'm getting 3 to 4 months with it even with weekly washes where the wheels and tires are getting wheel cleaner and soap. With all the other tire shines I've tried, I had to reapply pretty much after every wash, maybe every 2. This stuff is a few months easy. It's considered a coating but looks amazing for a long time
!Like the first person view! it's like the Pan version of the old video game DOOM! So it helps me visualize as if i were doing the work myself and appears to be simpler than i would have imagined on my own... So thanks for that unique perspective!
Great video and update pan definitely enjoy the Adams coating. I’ve installed it on at least 4 vehicles so far and it’s been holding up very well. Can’t wait to see the blower test as I’m on the fence . Im debating buying a dedicated one like the big boi or sticking with my leave blower.
Great video, I just purchased several of the Adams graphene products and will apply asap. Question, when first applying the Adams advanced graphene ceramic coating, you recommend throwing away the micro fiber towels used to level and polish. Is it ok to wash the micro fiber towels used for the graphene detail spray? (or any other of the maintenance graphene infused products). Thanks and love the channel!
For the detail spray (not the graphene ceramic spray coating!) yes you can wash the towels and reuse them no problem. Welcome to my channel.

cool, it`s still going strong. please review optimum gloss coat, the new formula. i would love too se your opinion on that coating. in my opinion, it`s the most easy coating to apply :).
Nice follow up video. I applied Adam’s Graphene ceramic coating about a year and a half ago on my BMW, and it is holding up very well: I get the liquid paint look after a good wash. I do apply a ceramic boost every three months or so, and that has kept the coating in great shape so far. I used a different brand coating before, but if the Adam’s coat can hold up for 5-7 years, it is definitely a good product to use. The Adam’s coating is more difficult to apply. I could see the flashing and high points with the other coating, but I really could not distinguish it with the Adam’s even with using the UV light probably because of the deep blue color of the paint.
@@PanTheOrganizer Hi, I found your channel with a google search when I first started to get serious about detailing my car. You have been very helpful with detailing tips and product reviews, and I still am an avid viewer of your channel to keep me up to date. It was great when you got the Porsche, and the color is spectacular! I liked it when you worked on your BMW as I could relate to that, and your work on the Porsche is great too!
The same would apply for all blowers. They work best on paint that has protection, due to the hydrophobic properties. If a paint is unprotected, the water sticks more and blowers aren't as great to use then. I prefer a good microfiber drying towel. But on cars with a wax, sealant or coating, blowers are the way to go. Way quicker and because it's touchless, ZERO changes of scratches or swirls from drying by hand. My video on my blowers is coming soon so stay tuned! Probably in early February.
Wow! Love the results and Adam's is more affordable here as the other are only available imported. Question, for ceramic coated plastic & rubber trim maintenance can i use CarPro Perl?
Pan, it is normal for ceramic coating to not stick onto the glass. This is because the rubber from the wipers stick onto the windshield. One of the easiest remedies I have is to use a Japanese Silicon wiper from PIAA. The silicon will not leave a layer of rubber on the windshield. Instead, the silicon glides over the ceramic coating and leaves a protective layer of silicon on top of the ceramic coating every time the wiper slides over the windshield. I have found that by using PIAA silicon wipers, my windshield stays hydrophobic for 5 years without any additional topper or coating. Also, I have about 10 years on my PIAA wipers and they still function like brand new. You should give it a shot Pan.
Very interesting! So PIAA is the brand? And they make blade replacements for any car make/model? Do they ship to Canada? They have Si-tech, Super Silicone and Aero Vogue models. What are the differences? Are they good during winter use? We have severe winters here in Canada.
@@PanTheOrganizer yeah, PIAA is the brand from Japan. They used to be $20 each many years ago, but now they go for $40 each. I usually get it on Amazon because of the free prime shipping. It’s worth it.
@@PanTheOrganizer I also found that OEM Porsche and BMW windshield wipers permanently cause micro scratches the windshields over time. As soon as I upgraded to the silicon, micro scratches stop. It’s worth the try. Try it on the Nissan first. If you like it, you can try it on your own cars lol.
Between my power washer and faucet is a 2.5x10 GAC carbon filter and pre-sedement filter. So I am removing the sodium hypocloride and some of the other chemicals found in city water. Our city water has a 300 ppm TDS. My guess is you have a simular whole house dual carbon and sedement filter system. In your clean room... you should be able to install a 4x40 Hydron BW RO filter, (Amazon) SS can, pump and dual tank system to get double filtered zero pure RO water which can be used in several aspect steps to improve speed and quality in the soap, rinse, dry and window cleaning processes. Most of the time I wash with, foam and contact soap rinse with city water, then rinse off the city water with zero pure (0 ppm) double filtered RO water for a spot free rinse... and it dosen't mater if I am washing the windows on a bank or washing my truck... it just seems to make every aspect of the process work better when I remove the chemicals and minerals from the makeup water. The attraction to high performance sealants is to create a protective layer at the clearcoat boundry so I can then get aggressive with speed contact cleaning and not worry about scratching the paint.
Thanks so much for showing how well the Adam’s Graphene Car Wash works. I was very surprised by how long the suds lasted in the bucket. I have been very disappointed by other ceramic infused car washes by their lack of suds and lubricity. I have been using 303 Nano Graphene Spray and the new 303 Graphene Detail spray with good results. Almost as slick as Beadmaker. A head to head comparison between 303 Nano Graphene and Adam’s Graphene will be interesting. I do look forward to trying Adam’s Graphene Car Wash now that you have shown how well it works.
Just a side note. The amount of suds in a ceramic or graphene infused shampoo doesn't really equal lubrication. Most good protection infused shampoos lose their suds in a matter of a few minutes, but they are still highly lubricating and can still do a good job. More suds doesn't necessarily mean better cleaning. It's just a visual observation as some like to have suds there for longer.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you, I did get a chance to use the Adam’s Graphene Car Wash and got the same results. It definitely added some hydrophobic layering to the cars. We are in South Florida so no snow here but a lot of sun to torture the paint. I also just ordered a bottle of the Adam’s Graphene Detail Spray. I want to compare it to Beadmaker which has been my go to topper for a few years now. It will be interesting to see if it leaves the cars as shiny and slick as Beadmaker. Thanks for a great channel.
Hey Pan, I love your videos. I am seeing complaints from people who use the Adam’s product on plastic. My 2020 GMC Sierra Denali has black plastic around the wheel wells. Some say just wipe it off quick but, not sure what to believe. I see the car you are doing here has black plastic trim too. What do you think? Is there a better product if you could get it on the plastic?
Yes there are better trim specific coatings like CarPro DLUX, Gyeon Trim and Gtechniq C4. Anytime you can get a surface-specific coating, it’s usually the best option.
Awesome, I was just looking to see how this would work versus my Graphene From Adams before the advanced came out. Great stuff, thanks for the update!!
Fantastic video and my decision is made. I am definitely using the Adam’s Graphene Ceramic coating on my two cars. Love love love Phil’s products from Auto Fanatic.
They are very different soaps. CarPro Reset is more of your pH neutral regular weekly maintenance wash soap for a ceramic coated vehicle. Gyeon Restart Wash is a maintenance shampoo with an iron remover built in, to remove a bit of iron (brake dust) contamination once in a while. And CarPro Descale is an acidic pH soap that you only use on an "as needed" basis to remove mineral buildup and water spots, and you can also use it before a full detail job to start stripping older waxes and sealants.
You’re in luck! I made a video on that topic here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DebiLFBCHu8.html Pretty much any topic you are searching for, if you add “Pan The Organizer” to your search in the search bar, you’ll likely find one of my videos on that topic. ;)
Hi Pan. Nice video. Graphene Shampoo include graphene but not as an aditional protection but as a lubricant to better glide of mit. This said me guy from Adam’s support team. This shampoo have great cleaning power but it doesn’t add a protection. I tested it on parents car where wasn’t any type of protection and after washing was water panels still flat. Have a nice day and greetings from Slovakia. 🤗
I wrote to Adam’s Polishes support team about Graphene Shampoo. They said to me this: “Graphene Shampoo is a little funky because it more acts like a degreaser than anything. Its intended to keep a coating cleaner so it may last longer more than it being a maintenance. With it containing some resin in it, it does slight some protection but will not add any beading due to its degreasing like properties.”
That would make sense as I did see an improvement in the sheeting rate (speed) so perhaps the shampoo was doing an even better job at degreasing and removing road film and gunk, to restore the coating's hydrophobic properties even more. That's pretty awesome. Perhaps Adam's lead chemist, @Christopher Gallahar, will read this comment and enlighten us further!
@@PanTheOrganizer I am curious what he will say on it. It is one of the best shampoos what i tested when I focus on cleaning power 😊👍 next two are CarPro Reset and Gtechniq W1 Gwash
@Michal - I'm glad I can help clarify for you, as you're hitting on exactly the point! When I was formulating the Graphene Shampoo, I sought to make a soap that was very powerful at cleaning films caused by salts and road brines off of the coating as those will be the most likely culprit for causing the water to flatten on a coated panel - leading to many consumers thinking their coating has failed. I want the coating to do the work, not offering a shampoo that is going to deposit even more film layers to the coating. Traditional SiO2 soaps are attempting to rejuvenate the hydrophobics by putting a sacrificial layer of a hydrophobic additive to block and tackle for the coating. The Graphene Shampoo seeks to rejuvenate the coating via purifying it more thoroughly than a traditional shampoo, so that the coating can keep on doing the job it was intended for - self cleaning and easier maintenance. @Pan The Organizer did a great job of pointing out that coatings periodically need decontaminated - salt and road brines leave difficult to remove films and are high energy and flatten water. Since I'm such a fan of metaphors, the Graphene Shampoo can best be thought of as a powerful, dish soap that is actually permissible on the paintwork! Like a dish soap, Graphene Shampoo is using choice surfactants that are aggressive in their degreasing and grime busting capabilities (such as lauramine oxides), but is negligent in having the ingredients that make a dish soap overly harsh to be used on automotive exteriors (sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS, not SLES), alkalinity, and amines). There are more commonalities of Graphene Shampoo to Dawn Dish Soap than to other traditional automotive washes. Marketing didn't want me to say that, but it's true. Finally, there are the graphene oxide-modified ceramic resins in the shampoo, just like claimed, and they aid in primarily lubricating the surface for a safe washing experience but also, secondarily, will absolutely contribute to a beading characteristic if permitted some time to cure - usually 12-24 hours, but that wasn't the point! This is a highly lubricating, strongly foaming, degreasing shampoo, in the truest sense of the word, and it aims to let the coating be the workhorse and not secondary, sacrificial film ingredients.
I have a 1440P 34 inch Gaming monitor, and the quality of the video is good. I wouldn't have noticed the difference if you didn't tell us that this was done with a GoPro 9. I approve! Tho it would be nice to see you once in a while, maybe insert a karaoke singing bit while holding a tire brush (as a mic) when you decide to sing? lol
Wow this is amazing! I just picked up my 2022 Highlander Platinum last week and I’m debating on ceramic coating. Looking for the best product/ detail shop for the job! It’s so hard to get the right person! Don’t think i can take on the task of DIY, car needs polishing/paint correction. I have never don’t any of that before!
Great video. Wow from a filthy car and just a rinse what a difference. That coating made it super easy to go from dirty to showroom. I wish Turtle Wax would come out with a pure Graphene coating. Their hybrid pro line is working great for me so far.
Turtle Wax is more of a big-box general public type brand like Meguiar's, Mothers, Armor All etc. None of those have a glass bottle coating yet, as their customers usually aren't that experienced with those types of coatings. That being said, TW is great with innovation and do have a solid graphene line, so who knows if in the future they'll offer a glass bottle pure coating type product. They sure read my viewers' comments so perhaps they're taking notes!
really cool FPS experience. Audio and video were flawless... no need for the fancier machines... also enjoyed the Adam's, though it's not really feasible/easy for me to source them in Romania... don't know why.... we get all the other major brands like CarPro, Gyeon, Meguiar's, GTechniq, etc...
