I wanted to look at the latest new technology in automotive detailing that is taking us by storm, graphene coatings. I give my opinion on the reality vs the marketing of what this means for detailers and the future of car paint protection, and is it really that much better than ceramic coatings?

So be real with me and let me know if anyone is talking contact angles when talking car or motorcycle detailing 😅

@tugbankert6581 3 года назад

The only ones talking about contact angles are the companies that have an inferior coating or wax

@awesomewizard99 3 года назад

Watch Forensic Detailing or Pam the Organiser. They often use technical terms such as contact angle etc. It's important if you're running a business and care about seeing through the smoke and mirrors of marketing.

I utilize Contact angles and coefficient of friction when I apply cream cheese to my toasted bagel. The specific angle allows the most efficient spreading and distribution of cream cheese, or butter 🧈. I agree with you...Those claims and descriptions are virtually Hot Air.

@jayd6068 3 года назад

Thanks for the video! “Contact angle” in the coating world is definitely a popular term/phrase among the people who care about it. It’s the degree at which the water bead sits on the vehicle surface. For example a higher contact angle means the bead is more of a “ball like” and will slide off faster. The lower the contact angle, the flatter the bead will be. I feel like it’s marketing in a sense of people really don’t know what it means but it sounds good. However, there is science behind it and all coating companies boast about it. Not the most important aspect of a coating though.

@kesterenetto 2 года назад

@1kontrabida 2 года назад

I agree with most of your input and as for Graphene vs ceramic i suggest doing this, apply both product side by side and let them cure, park your car outside for a month and see which one took a beating ( dont worry ceramic coating will still hold its own but notice the difference) now if you can and or possible? leave it outside for another month or two and see if the ceramic is still present...For a garage queen car? ceramic coating is ok. What really kills ceramic coating is UV and water ie morning dew this is were graphene takes over and out performs Sio2. Btw the above mention is also dependent on how much Sio2 or graphene present on the product/coating you use the more the better the strength and longevity. And back to a garage kept car? a good sealant or ceramic spray like the griots 3 in 1 ceramic spray can outperform a ceramic coating or the top name brand sealant. i haven't used adams but a different graphene coating brand and it out performed the top brands i put up against it. But don't take my word for it and see for yourself what the hype is all about. As for what advancement n the detailing world needs to focus on? for me? UV protection because most of the products out there dont have and f they do have UV protection? its minimal to none.

Hey Canadian Rider great video. I actually apply this coating every week on our customers cars. Over the past 5 + years we have done 100s of coatings. I see them often for follow up details, yearly inspections etc. This coating by Adam’s is by far the best we’ve ever seen. I doubt it has anything to do with the Graphene itself but the chemist that came up with this formula has absolutely knocked it out of the ball park. The only other coating that comes close to it so far as far as durability is ArtDeShine Nano Graphene coating. In fact those are the only 2 products we offer anymore. With Adam’s we sell the 1 year spray coating (which is an actual resin coating) not an SIO2 spray, the regular Graphene Ceramic Coating we sell as a 3 year, and the new advanced coating we sell as a 5+ year coating. Good stuff in Northern Michigan climate

I have not used shampos again, is this good? Or do you recommend using shampoo from time to time, I honestly don't see it necessary, my paint is always shiny and water-repellent.

@carswithsonduren 3 года назад

Hey Mauricio, glad you found the video helpful and welcome to the channel! I would recommend using a shampoo from time to time to completely wash the car and it should be completely safe on a ceramic as long as it's not a shampoo specifically meant for stripping any type of protection.

@kennethdietz9766 10 месяцев назад

Hello I am a formulation chemist for a car wash manufacturer, JBS Industries. I am currently working with a graphene wax. I use contact angles all the time to determine the wetting and stand-off of liquids on car clearcoats all the time. A higher contact angle means there is less adhesion of water or another liquid on a treated clearcoat. surface. The advantage, that I have seen and mesured is in the surface energy of the treated surface in two components. Some molecules are polar and some nonpolar. Surface energy is the amount of resistance to wetting that a surface has for a given liquid. If a surface has low surface energy in the nonpolar component and the liquid being applied is also nonpolar, then it will "wet out" quickly and spread across the surface. If the surface engy of the surface is high, however, a nonpolar liquid will try to make as little contact with the surface and form a sphere with only a single point of conatct and a high contact angle of the liquid and coated clearcoat. Graphene is an extremely nonpolar material with high surface energy in the polar component, so it will make water have low ahesion to the surface and be more easily removed by gravity ( roll off ) or being blown off by wind or a blower at the end of a car wash. Water is quite polar, by the way.

I’ve only ever used car pro cquartz UK. What are your thoughts on the different ceramics ?

Honestly Car Pro cquartz UK is one of the top ceramics in my opinion. Also I'm a big fan of optimum coatings. At the end of the day, they're hydrophobic properties is going to be some combination of how much sio2 content that these have as part of the solution. Unfortunately many do not advertise this but some of the top ceramic coatings with verified reviews of three plus years of protection you know which ones have the higher mix.

@kiarnastoon6475 Год назад

I literally have never owned a car until now that was worthy of polishing... but the first product I tried was a graphene cutting compound plus polish. I did one side of the vehicle after washing to stand back and compare the 2 halves. I was so impressed with the color and shine I thought 'lets see what this does on the unwashed side for sh**s and giggles..' I would sell my soul for a lifetime supply of the product I use. The oxidation, fading, and the absolute extreme shine it gave my vehicle was astonishing. Without even rubbing it in you can watch it penetrate the paint and spread. My cars color is Ford Blueprint code UU (xr6), and the graphene product made it look like it was painted yesterday. The changes with the light in the pearl paint were not visible until that day. If ceramic coating can do that and more...? Time to watch your vid and see I guess. EDIT: Just wanted to add that I live on a dirt road by the sea. I have had no watermarks on the car since that day. I wipe the car with a clean rag only just to dust it off when needed. Applying the same product (polish only) once a month? and even then it didnt require it. Works on my raw aluminium polished wheels and windows also as it repels dirt and the water beads on my car like a frikn grape it sits so high. If I had to do it once every 2 days with graphene for that result vs once every 2 years for a 'Meh' result I would still choose the graphene.

Dead on! I have tried both of Adams Graphene offerings. Both failed regarding durability. I did not like either of them on trim. They did great with gloss. I mean you would have to apply their graphene spray coating once a month to get 1 year + durability. The bottle they sell is large enough to do that. Unfortunately they market it as one application will last a year plus. Interestingly enough I have found them ( graphene spray coating) to be really quite good on glass.

Man, I tried the 303 Spray on graphene coating and it was arguably the worst product I ever used after watching several videos on appying it. You are right though, it worked well on glass, but I swear that cheap "Turtle Wax And Dry" works great on glass. At times I'll get lazy and not feel like using the product on every wash, but I always use the Turtle Wax and Dry on my windows! Several times I've been caught in a hard rain just a day or two after using it and never had to turn my wipers on. Hell, Rain X barely works after you use your windshield wipers once. That Turtle product works several times after using your wipers.

@kennethdietz9766 10 месяцев назад

Graphene with ceramic is not a happy chemical marriage. In formulas for carwash deposition, the graphene likes to hang onto the wax phase and floats up in almost every formula i've tried. I eventually took out the ceramic and got a cleaner deposition and stable formula. My most stable formula is at 2 months and still not phasing at all.😊

Contact angle is a fundamental and common term in surface chemistry. It is a quantitative (which you say you wanted) way to measure the ability to shed water (which is also what you said you wanted it). EXAMPLE: Mercury for instance has a higher contact angle that water on the same surface, say a table. Beads of mercury are more spherical than water. Less of the surface of a bead of mercury is in contact with the table. So a coating that has a higher contact angle with water will shed water more easily. Google it.

7:51 - Lower sliding/contact angle. I can't roll my eyes enough at stuff like this. What does this even mean to the average Joe? How can this even be measured by the guy down the street. In fact how can professional detailers even test this? And i see this in quite a few ceramic coating ads on the web. Water gliding off the surface of my ceramic coated vehicle is enough for me 😂 I think at the next car meet if someone's going to brag about their turbo or `boost pressure, I'm going to brag about my higher contact angle on my ceramic coating 😂😂

@natesales5880 3 года назад

Adams actually sells there graphene & ceramic for the same price. As far as being a great detailer science is what you use to apply coatings correctly making the coating last longer. With the extra information you can explain to your customer more about the coating. I do agree with maybe they could show some video's with these new improvements. Years that the coating lasting on any box is in perfect conditions.. so yea that could be better explained if your a customer not a detailer.

@abelvela2940 3 года назад

I agree with u 100%. I guess the detailing world figured after all these years without a ground breaking technology to make money from, they had to make something up that sounds good. But it's literally just a ceramic coating with an expensive ingredient in it that still doesn't make a difference in the real world. Detailing world did not progress any with graphene yet.

@carswithsonduren 3 года назад

Exactly it is all just a marketing play now. Don't get me wrong I love all this stuff in a way but at some point it becomes stupid and borders on the edge of lies. I appreciate we need innovation in these product categories, but people should just be more conscious about what they should expect when paying so much money for some of these products

Why not say that they are trying give them credit for any improvements don't knock it be happy for the company still making effort for better.

@carswithsonduren 3 года назад

Happy to give them credit but I just don't feel these products had any true perceptible improvement and instead just using the term for marketing generate more sales. Don't get me wrong this is definitely my hobby and passion, I just feel like sometimes certain companies go a little bit over the line with their marketing and what they claim

*haha... 7 years... If you made the effort to buy this stuff to apply it in the first place, you're redoing your car at least once a year, minimum. That's why these products don't come in one-time-use quantities. I can't imagine anyone thinking they'll detail their car once and think it's good for the next 7 years. Maybe if it's a garaged show car.*

I have never been in the detailing industry. I’m in my research to get into it. I’m just educating myself about anything related to detailing. I will say that this guy somehow it’s talking a lot of shit, but it makes sense to the point that all marketing it’s the same way. Go ahead and test millions of products that say this and that, can you test them all? At the end it’s the consumer who is really using the product will decide what to believe according to it’s use from time to time. Later you are saying that you are working on your own products, so I hope that you take those 3-7 years of testing that you will claim in your products. So before you put your products on sale, whatever you claim in years, test them and prove your claims.
