    What exactly is Graphene? Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane? One bottle will do three vehicles generously including the rims. It’s so easy to apply and remove. It works on trim but time will tell how it effects it. Im ready for pollen season.....,,

    Not exactly sure, but it works! I’ve read more like a hard polish than soft wax. My ‘21 is ceramic coated.
    I tried this On a whim cause I like their car shampoo and it’s great.
    I used it on the whole vehicle except the tires. Paint, plastic, rubber, wheels and even glass(better than Rain-x). I did everything with maybe an ounce from the bottle. Easy on, watch it level and buff it out with a clean microfiber

    655A8290-05B1-4469-975E-D367FF86C166.jpg Cleaned up the fading clearcoat on the hood much better than wax... My old boss backed a trailer into my slider it saved the whole side of the truck, but then an eight pointer ran into my door..:)

    Does the graphene work like the ceramic coating? Longevity? I’m curious, as I don’t know anything about the graphene.

    There was a big controversy over on the Autogeek forum about this guy. YouTube is clearly his bread and butter (job) and he was dropping videos onto the Autogeek forum and then not really participating in discussion (or something like that- I can’t recall for certain). Members got pissed that he was just using the forum to “get clicks”, as he’s clearly making money from clicks.

    I dunno if they thought maybe they weren’t getting unbiased reviews from him because he probably gets free products to review? Anyway... another weird controversy in the online/detailing world, which seems to happen from time to time.

    I tend to take all the :gossip: and :argue: with a grain of salt. If he can make a buck and not harm anyone doing it. More power to him.

    I did my helmets. And today driving the Corolla, it was weird, like less wind resistance. From the hood and windshield......
