Crystal Clear Vision in Harsh Weather | Adam's Polishes Graphene Glass Coating 

they have a graphene boost

Hi there, sorry I missed this comment! The hydrophobic water beading behavior is even greater with the Graphene Glass Coating, and it is more durable on glass specifically, lasting up to 9-12 months with one application. It requires no setup time and no cure time, and wipes away much more easily than the Graphene Ceramic Coating Advanced. This glass-specific formula will not bond to paint properly though - it is not multi-surface like Graphene Ceramic Coating Advanced.

​@@AdamsPolishesI applied the advanced graphene coating on my windshield. I thought it lasts up to 9 years. Does that mean the advanced ceramic coating will last less than 9 months on my windshield and I'll have to reapply more ceramic coating on my glass after 9 months?

@@daviddoan3129 Hi David, the 9 year rating is done on a painted panel in lab scrub tests, however, glass is a much harder surface than a painted clear coat, so the coating does not necessarily bond to glass as well as it does on paint, plus the windshield wipers are abrasive to the coating over time and will wear it down. You will notice that the side windows will have more durability and longer water beading and repelling behavior than the windshield, so yes, we would recommend re-coating the windshield as necessary, usually about twice per year. With the glass-specific Graphene Glass Coating, it is a formula designed to bond to glass, but it does not bond to paint properly. The Graphene Glass Coating held up for about 14 months of daily driving in all weather conditions on my vehicle's windshield before I needed to re-up it.

Great question

I'm curious as well. However I see it says bug repellency and most bug removers are safe for coatings. And it says polymers for water beading, I think its leaving lubrication and protection. I don't think it will degrade the coating, if anything I'm hoping it adds more protection

Don’t worry they’ll come out with a graphene washer fluid soon too!

Hi Chris, the windshield washer fluid does not eat away the coating. What will wear the coating away though is the movement and abrasion of the wiper blades going across the surface of the coating. Through our testing, the Graphene Glass Coating lasts about 9-12 months or roughly 10,000 miles on the windshield and even longer on the drivers and passengers side glass. The abrasion of the wipers is mainly what will wear away the coating on the windshield.

I was gonna ask the same thing

My assumption would be that this is a more specialized product. It likely is designed specifically to bond to glass, the regular stuff works, but I'd imagine this works even better (for glass). Glass focused coatings usually are more durable but less reflective, which for glass is fine, but for paint would be a negative. The more reflective something is, the less durable.

TheGreatChrisB is pretty much spot on with his reply. This product is more specialized. The Graphene Glass Coating fills in the pores of the glass rather than placing a layer on top of the glass. This provided better beading/hydrophobic effect and better clarity while driving in harsh weather. Also one main difference is the ease of application. This goes on similar to our Glass Sealant but even easier to apply.

If you buy this, you won’t have to use your wipers except to clean the windshield

@@ludicrousfilms635 I bought the coating and applied a few weeks ago. The first test was a travel from Atlanta to Miami where I got a good amount of rain late night between Orlando and Miami. The hydrophobic effect was perfect. It was a heavy rain and I was running the wipers in the slowest setting. Next test was the bugs. You won't believe how many bugs I got in the windshield that night, before and after the rain. It was S/M/L/XL size bugs. So, arriving in Miami I left my truck in the parking lot for a week and after that I got back home. This time I didn't get any rain and just more bugs. As the truck went one week in a outdoor parking lot and after that I had a few more days to wash, here is my findings: - The product is amazing. But as demonstrated in the video, you apply a lot of the product into the applicator and this made me use half the bottle to apply in the windshield and the two front windows for a F-150. Don't expect to use this product in more than two cars. - Bugs, tree sap and other components still stuck in the glass and you will see less hydrophobic effect if you let all this stuff dry under the sun. - Washing your car with Adams Graphene shampoo and removing all the dirt will restore the hydrophobic effect. But remember to remove all the residues to get the results back. I still have some spots of sap tree that now I will need to remove. I'm thinking in applying IPA to remove, but I wonder if it will remove the coating too. (Probably yes, but would like the Adam's guys to help me here)

their site says 9-12 months or 10k miles

@@shadspov thanks!

@@shadspov I see it’s the same price as Geyon Glass and I’ve seen that perform well but those constant 20-30% off sales the Adam’s site and even Amazon has makes this pretty tempting!

@@damiansutube you can also use the regular graphene coating for longer protection. I did it over a year ago and it’s holding strong

Hey Brian, this formulation was designed specifically for glass. This formula fills in the pores of the glass like our glass sealant, but has the longevity like our Graphene Spray Coating. Where as, the Graphene Ceramic Coating doesn't fill in the pores but rather, puts a layer of Graphene Ceramic on top of the glass surface. Because the Graphene Glass Coating fills in the pores of the glass, it is more effective at shedding water providing better hydrophobics and clarity while driving in harsh weather.

@@AdamsPolishes This is exactly what i was hoping for!!! thank you for the clarification! i know it jsut came out, but i already cant wait for the Advanced formulation!! haha just liek the graphene ceramic coating!!

@@AdamsPolishes Can you stack a Ceramic coating or Ceramic Spray on top of this??

Thanks for the question. You would be better off putting either the Adam’s Graphene Ceramic Coating or Graphene Ceramic Spray on those surfaces as they are not porous like the way glass is.

@@AdamsPolishes ok perfect would I treat the surfaces the same clay bar and prep spray they apply and let flash over since it’s a ceramic coat?

Hi there, I will say that the Carlisle Car Show stickers do begin to slightly peel from the top corner of my windshield now at highway speeds if the stickers become wet. Vinyl should stick as long as you prep the area first, but they will be easier to peel off as well.

@@AdamsPolishes I ended up leaving the top left and right corner of the glass unprotected, to be able to stick track day numbers on, if needed. Not in line of view so it’s perfect to ensure they don’t fly off at high-speeds.

No and rainx streaks like an SOB. This definitely lasts longer.

Hi Kevin, under normal winter and rain conditions, the Graphene Glass Coating has been holding up since February on my daily driver, so it's at 8 months and still performing excellent. For those that may state it has only been out for 2 months, yes, but we've been testing it for far longer than that :) It can be applied to side mirrors; however some of those mirrors are not true glass, so it may not bond as well. This coating is formulated to specifically bond to glass.

Hi Danny, try giving the wiper blades a good cleaning with our Tire & Rubber Cleaner sprayed into an older Edgeless Utility Towel, then gently scrub the towel into the rubber blades on the wiper arm. Sometimes the wiper blades themselves will develop oxidation and dirt in the rubber that can cause them to drag or skip on the now very smooth windshield.

@@AdamsPolishes no offence, I have already tried this method with similar product from turtle wax, it does not help, moreover the car is not even three months old. I should have been more clear, the wiper simply doesn’t skip if there is enough water, e.g. during light rain if you wait for while then it will wipe smoothly. However when you drive with cruise control then you can’t manually control wiper in Tesla, so no driving with cruise control or autopilot if there is hydrophobic effect on the windshield.

No issues on my car!

Hi there! We've tested our Graphene Glass Coating at 9+ months per application on daily driven vehicles, or around 10,000 miles of driving. So depending on how much rain and snow driving you do, you may need to reapply once or twice per year. One 30ml bottle will coat multiple vehicles, or several applications on one vehicle 👍

@@AdamsPolishes what is the product recommended for cleaning glass over the top of this coating as to not diminish the life or effectiveness of the glass coating?

Hey there! You absolutely can use our Graphene Glass Coating on your glass shower doors to make them easier to clean. Just make sure that you do a very thorough cleaning first - polish out any water spots, then Surface Prep to leave the glass completely bare - before applying the coating. As a somewhat related side note, we do not recommend using our Water Spot Remover on glass shower enclosures - it is a very strong chemical intended for painted surfaces on the exterior of your vehicle, and could cause some issues on certain glass types.

​@AdamsPolishes yet in your water spot remover video you do recommend it on showers...

@@AdamsPolishes but didnt rain-x do this for the last 30+ years? - whats the difference, to be honest?

Yes but it’s made specifically for the glass and much cheaper. Probably for those who don’t fully ceramic coat their vehicles is what I’m assuming.

Hi there, the coating itself will not create more fog, but if you do not wipe away all of the residue thoroughly during application, it could leave behind a slightly hazy look.

Hi Josh, you could apply the Graphene Glass Coating on top of the glass sealant, but it may not bond as well or last as long per application. At a minimum, clean the glass very thoroughly with Surface Prep before applying Graphene Glass Coating. For best results you would want to remove the glass sealant layer first, either with several washes with Strip Wash or machine polishing it off with a white foam pad and our white Polish, and then Surface Prep. You could even use #0000 Ultra Fine Steel Wool with Glass Cleaner as a lubricant for the steel wool to deep-clean the glass and remove the sealant. (4-zero steel wool will not scratch glass, but it will scratch paint!) Let us know if you have any other questions!

Many automotive glass cleaners are Alcohol based so it flashes. You can actually make your own with just alcohol and water.

Based on the video, looks like you need to remove any coating on the glass before applying this product. It should get into the glass surface and if you leave other coatings on top of the glass, this will not be possible.

Hi Michael, no, this formula bonds specifically to glass. We would recommend cleaning the wiper blades with Tire & Rubber Cleaner and Surface Prep though!

there's really no benefit for the interior I would think, the point of applying any ceramic coating period is for its hydrophobic properties it comes with. other than maybe a very very light shine there's no rain or puddles hitting the inside of the car so I don't think it would really be practical

😂

Hi Steven, that definitely doesn't sound normal. We have test vehicles that have had our Graphene Glass Coating on the windshield for 9+ months now still holding up incredibly well. It should not etch glass either - how long did it sit on the glass before wiping away the residue? It's possible that you are seeing dried-on rain drops that beaded on the glass. This coating does not need to flash on the surface like our Graphene Ceramic Coating for paint, so it can be wiped away almost as soon as you finish applying it to half of the windshield. This Graphene Glass Coating does require the windshield to be very clean and any previous products removed for it to bond best to the glass. Please contact our customer service at 866-965-0400 or orders@adamspolishes.com so that we can help troubleshoot this further. Thanks!

@@AdamsPolishes It sat on the glass for about 30 seconds to 1 minute from the start of each application. It is not raindrops. The glass is clean. I took the car out of the garage the first day after application into the rain storm, and every time the wipers were wiped, the application marks would appear during the slight haze from each wipe. Even in the morning dew, or if the car sat outside during the rain, the application marks will appear. I'll send some pictures and videos to your email soon.

Hi @@stvnsnton , thanks for your sharing! Is the problem solved? I really want to hear about the follow ups. Thanks again!

Same issue here

@@yilongli4021 @tristancefail I removed the coating using Invisible Glass - Glass Stripper. Heavy cut compound also works too. I did not apply any coat or wax afterwards, but overtime the wipers created a natural hydrophobic layer. No more skipping/squeaking.

RainX is a terrible product if you live in colder climates. Tried them twice over the years. You're better off to wax your windows than use that

@@alirezaee2217 i waxed my windows, get better results with rainx

@@arnoni11 May I ask where do you live? Maybe RainX is not suitable for colder climates. Thanks in advance

@@alirezaee2217 Pittsburgh PA, i used aquapel, before it helped alittle better but not much.

So that people spend more of it and need to buy new bottles more often. Oldest trick in the book.
