303 Graphene

[soobaroo]

I tried this last summer and really loved how my black truck looked. First rain and the beading was great. I figured if it lasted even three months I’d found my new LSP. Just days later when it rained again not even a little beading indicating it was gone so I gave up on it. Wasn’t real happy because it takes some work to wipe off. I read that they had a bad batch and am wondering if I got a bottle of it. Anyone know about this bad product run and how the coating failed if you got one? What kind of durability have others been getting from the graphene? I’d try it again if I thought I just got a bad bottle and could expect the results I was hoping for the first time.

Did you do a thorough wash?

I did but used Klasse all in one about a month before applying the graphene. I though it might not have bonded to it but 303 said it would

If that was the case i would think your Klasse AIO to give some beading, no?

Am curious about this. I thought about trying 303 Graphene.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I still get great beading and reflection off of 303 Graphene, it was done way back in February… I have two coats on, and it lasts fine for me, however I am garage and in Florida. 3O3 gis real tough to buff off if you put it on the whole car. But if you apply it to a single panel, then apply to the next panel, then go wipe the first panel off, it comes off easy and completely.

Shake the bottle vigorously before you use it, it separates rather quickly. Wash your buffing towel immediately after use, it stains the towel, no big deal for me.

Klasse AIO is acrylic and in my experience it does not bead water. It also doesn’t give the paint a slick feel to the touch. It does a good job of deep cleaning the paint without abrasives which is what I wanted. It does leave protection but it’s impossible to know for how long since you don’t have the visual evidence. Why some people have good results with 303 graphene and mine was terrible I don’t know.

I did apply to a couple panels at a time and shook it every time I sprayed on the applicator. Truck looked fantastic and after the first rain the beading was great. Then a few days later just nothing when it rained again. Being that it didn’t come off real easy I had high hopes it would last. I was disappointed because I thought I found the miracle product. I’d try it again if I knew what I did wrong but can’t figure it out unless it just wouldn’t bond to the Klasse

Not quite everyone here....tried it last year on a Yukon. I found the wipe off to be oily and problematic...it was virtually devoid of slickness, and the gloss and durability (3 months) were both disappointing. This vehicle gets driven a few times a week, generally less than 25 miles put on it each time, and is garage kept. If anyone is passing through South Jersey...I'll gladly gift them a bottle (almost full) of it.

Went back to the tried and true Wolfgang SIO2 sealant and never looked back
