New Graphene product from IGL and maybe carpro?

Does anyone know if you can
top graphene with bead maker? :laughing: :laughing:

Hmmm...
That poses a very interesting scenario.

@Detailers/Detailing-Products-Consumers/Etc:
•Since Graphene is hydrophilic, not hydrophobic;

Then, IMO:

-Those looking to leverage Graphene’s properties...
such as: Detailing Products’ Manufacturers...will
have to re-think about a totally new starting point.

:idea:
Perhaps the use of “structural defective”
Graphene will merit a look-see. (Or:
perhaps that’s just plain ol’ pablum?)

So as stated IGL F4 is a non abrasive "polish " for repairing minor defects on coated surfaces. Kinda like Essence + but with a twist.

It works very well and the Graphene adds a layer of protection. It's also a good AIO. I'm actually using it on a black ctsv right now then topping with IGL Premier for a efficient polish and sealant combination.

Guz if you see this your thoughts compared to first 6 months of CQUK3?

SPS has lost its slickness that it once had. That was gone after a couple months. The slickness is nice. The tight water beading is still there as is the ability to repel. The self cleaning effect is still pretty good. Is it better than CQUK 3.0? At this point I am going to say it is a wash between the two.

•Could it be that it’s actually a modification
of Graphene Oxide (GO); or, an example of
Reduced Graphene/Graphite Oxide (r-GO)
at play here (RE: “defective graphene”?)...

-instead of actual Graphene—a single layer
of pure carbon measuring one atom thick?


•Somehow:
-I can’t help but stop and compare the above
possible Graphene delineation, with what even-
tually happened in the defining of: ‘what are
plastics’; ‘what are ceramics’; ‘what are (FITB)’.


Marketers are going to have a field day. :dblthumb2:

I liked that Graphene so much, I put it on for free..........
 
Bump for anyone that have used F4 beside Justin.
 
This looks like the next hot coating. Anyone else have any more input on Graphene?
 
i have it on my dd seems to waterspot but looks like it washes off. i did have bird crap on there i did not know about for a few days and it came off easily and left no etching. car looks dirty after a rain. my thinking is just another type of sealant.
 
Anyone have any updates on this?.

I've read Budgetplan1's thoughts on his website which seem good.

But both The Guz and Bolts don't seem to rate it as much, which is confusing.

Be grateful for further thoughts.

Thanks

Graphene is well known for its durability and protection. It’s more hydrophobic and chemical resistant. It is well known in industries such as aerospace.

Graphene is expensive. So expect products to not have as much within it.

Actually graphene is pretty cheap and easy to make. A little goes a LONG way. Almost all car products will use Graphene Oxide.
 
IGL just came out with a graphene Kenzo, received their email about it Saturday.
 
Graphene as used by the folks marketing it today is 100 percent hype. It is an additive to an existing resin-based orceramic coating. They add RGO, which is basically graphite, to the coating and call it "graphene".

Any benefit offered by the graphene coatings is independent of the added RGO.

Anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something or does not know what they are talking about. Not one chemist has revealed how their coating can use graphene's advantages, but dozens have come out to say that it is not possible to get the protection represented by the folks selling it. It's a buzzword being used in the industry right now to justify additional markup, nothing more

I have noticed two distinct characteristics of a majority of the graphene coatings I have played with.

1. Ease of use
2. Better water clearing. Beading is the same as normal coatings but the beaded water moves across the surface faster on a graphene infused coating.

A few years ago fluorine had hype like graphene and it was added to ceramics.

It also helps individuals who detail cars for client as an up sell.
 
Neither of those characteristics are due to what is basically ground up pencil lead added to the coating. They may be due to reformulation of the resins, etc in the coating. And let me tell you customers just LOVE being upsold on magic pixie dust, it really earns you a reputation as an honest businessman. Perhaps you'd like to offer to refill their blinker fluid?
