Graphene Detail Spray (Gallon) - Extend Protection of Waxes, Sealants, & Coatings | Waterless Detailer Spray For Car Detailing | Clay Bar, Drying Aid, Add Ceramic Graphene Protection

Background -- Long-time enthusiast owner, long-time user of Adams Detail Spray. So the review is a compare/contrast as much as a product report. First, the product report: I've used several different "detail spray" products over the years. I have had close ties with both Meguiars and Mothers products. Mostly social/philanthropic with Barry, and a decades-ago professional relationship with Craig "The Chemist" Burnett prior to his time at Mothers. In spite of those ties, the Adams Detail Spray has long held a prominent spot on the car care products shelf. As I was going to reorder a gallon of the classic detail spray, the pop-up for the 'with graphene' version got my attention and a subsequent click to buy. It just arrived in time for a quick dust and clean on my black 1980's Porsche touring car. First impressions: -- It's a lot more substantial, and doesn't evaporate/dry quickly. Pros: Doesn't dry fast so gives time to do slightly larger sections at one time. The result is a definable finish coating, one I can easily see on the black. Cons: It doesn't dry very quickly, so more rubbing and polishing is needed to get a streak-free result. Great result, but the "instant" factor is replaced by "quick" as far as time needed. -- On the dark finish, already sealed with a synthetic paint sealant, it definitely improves the gloss and overall appearance of the paint finish. -- I did a quick damp-towel wipe of the glass, and it removed dust and a few fingerprints as expected. The protection will need to be evaluated after a few more uses, to see if less dust and fingerprints appear on the treated vs. the non-treated glass. -- The rear spoiler/wing is a black textured surface. It was already clean, but a bit of the spray on a towel darkened and added a little gloss to the surface. Time will tell if it 'whitens' in the textured surface. So far (an hour later) it still looks good. -- Wheels (powder-coated silver) look noticeably better than before. They are treated the same as the paint finish on the body, and show an improvement even though they aren't black. The contrast with the classic pink: -- The graphene formula is missing the trademark banana fragrance. Something that's not critical to the result but an expected feature of the application process. Critical for you? I can't predict. -- The graphene formula is a lot less forgiving. No doubt thanks to the larger amount of resins and protectants, it demands that you pay attention to your application work, or risk the same streaky uneven look you get when using a quick-wax product and it dries unevenly. Results reward the extra care and attention needed, punish some if you are in a bigger hurry. -- The pink is noticeably better at removing contaminants like bug and tree deposits. So better at the instant clean and detail than being the final detail step if you want the added protection. The classic pink will maintain a spot in the car-care arsenal here. My use habits earn the car a full wash and detail a few times a year, with a dust and spray detail before and after any and every drive. The car usually sits covered, so the after-drive step is critical to avoiding scratching from the cover. The sequence will probably be two steps after every drive, pink then graphene for protection, and a quick dust and pink detail after the cover comes off for a drive. ---- All the cars in the mini-fleet here, including the dailies, get the same treatment and care, sans the covers unless they are hibernating. Both dailies are regular comment-generators. We'll see how another protection and appearance layer helps them too. For those thinking about cost/value, the regular spray detail treatment vs. full wash and clean saves a ton of time, time that easily makes up for the costs. We live in a high desert/mountain climate, where the biggest dangers are winter roads deicer slurry and the local cinders used for traction aid. Together they made a brown paste that can only be washed off with real water. We try not to drive in it when we don't have to (WFH Retired) which helps. The regular clean and seal effort, with regular detail attention, is enough to keep things looking new almost all year. My hope is that adding another protection step will reduce some of the de-sliming needed in winter here. Now off to buy the replacement gallon of pink original, the one I was shopping for when the graphene version popped up. :)

Used this on my new metallic black vehicle with a graphene ceramic coating and the finish was amazing. Super easy to use. I sprayed it on after washing while still wet and just dried with microfiber towels. The streak free shine was unbelievable and rain just beads up and pours off. Little goes a long way and the finish lasts for several months.

Grafiene ceramic makes you car look like it has a new paint job. And the water beads very good and slides off easily, very good on not only paint, but windows and plastic , It leaves you paint look deep and lustrous, I recommend and very reasonably priced.

The product itself works great. I just finished my whole car and it’s shining beautifully—very impressed with the results. However, the spray bottle design needs improvement. It tends to leak during use or even when it’s slightly tilted. It feels like the bottle quality needs a review or redesign. Overall, excellent product performance, but the packaging could use some attention. Therefore, need to give it a 3, since 1/3 of it is leaking out of the bottle.

I've tried several of the "graphene" spray coatings over the past couple of years and this is, by far, the best I've run across on the market today. Goes on easily and buffs off without leaving any swirls or streaks. Best applied on a cool or relatively cool surface although it CAN be applied to warm surfaces. I've seen a few reviews from others who claim to have problems but honestly, I haven't had any problems with it. I apply it a couple of times each year when I do a full exterior surface detailing and it seems to last at least 3-4 months.

I bought this because it was on sale I'm usually a chemical guys buyer. This stuff works terrific. Very easy to use. It really did bring a high gloss finish to my old truck.

My car looks shiny and clean for longer time.

I sprayed it on after I went thru the car wash and it was hot out. It dried so fast and became difficult to buff. I'd recommend using early in the morning while it's still cool. It didn't leave my car shiny as pictured. Left my car same as it was.

Incredible gloss slickness and beading. Only rivaled by Griots Garage ceramic quick detailer. I am not disappointed with Adams. 1st package was damaged but that was not Adams or Amazons fault.

商品も良い感じですね。 まだ１度しか使用してませんが、艶々になりました。
