Review: 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating

[Jacob Harrod AUTOCLEAN]

All good stuff.....especially the Lilly Brush

I cant wait to try it!!!! I just did this Durango and spent all day getting pet hair out. Also coated with the 303 Graphine Nano Spray Coating. It turned out pretty nice.

Here is my “test” of the 303 product discussed here versus blackfire SI02 spray. Here are the steps I took to demonstrate this. I used a brand new trunk spoiler that is off my Camaro that Swapped for a wing at delivery, duplicating the paint condition you would see on a brand new car. There were no defects to correct. This was done in my workshop, climate: 72° temp humidity 48%

So here are the steps I took:

Step one: Carpro eraser used to completely clean the surface of any waxes or sealants.

Step two: an orbital was used with a black soft pad and blackfire premier Pro SI02 polish to do the entire two areas. That was wiped/buffed off, and then I let 1 hour expire.

Step three: blackfire SI02 spray wiped on to the right area, and 303 Graphene spray on the left area. Both were left on for 15 minutes to haze over and cure.

Step four: both areas wiped off and then buffed, with a brand new 360 GSM detailing towel, short nap side used.
I did not notice any difficulty to wipe off, the black dots of the 303 came off just a bit more sticky than the si02 side, but still very easy. Both of these will mark your towels a bit, the 3O3 will turn your buff towel and applicator brick with streaks of black, the BF will turn your applicator towel pink. Get them to a wash ASAP when finishing, it seems to come out on both.

Below are the results..in person, The diff is extremely minor, both look great. (Notice the word graphene in both is very crisp ) However the 303 promises more durability ,so I am going to set the spoiler in the direct sun for two months in the back yard to see how it weathers… Check back here in Feb..I will rinseless wash it about every two weeks…

A final consideration is financial, the BF is $1.50/oz, the 303 is $1.16/oz.

BOOM!!! Reccomended items purchased!!!

Wow!

Thank you for your trust Jacob. I hope I don't let you down.

I'll be re-visiting the blue Miracle Towels today when I wipe the 303 Graphene Nano Coating off the wife's QX30. Will also be claying it with the ultra fine poly clay.

I did use the SONAX Glass Cleaner for my waterless wash on the Ferrari yesterday, worked like a charm for a PREP WASH.

Trying to get my mindset on Sonax glass cleaner as a waterless wash . Saw you tube video and Mike explaining it.

Does he use it as a waterless wash or a prep wash?

Prep Process

Before you can apply the 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating you need to start with a clean car. To clean this car I did a waterless wash using SONAX Glass Cleaner and a 6-pack of Miracle Towels

This is what he did prior to prepping with Sonax:

"I washed and dried and then applied the new 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating on this streetrod. "

You left the 303 on for a full 15 minutes before wiping off?

 

[glen e]

Did you read my step three? The article says I waited 15 minutes. I probably actually waited about 20 , l as I had a phone call.

I think Mike said he did the whole car and then took his time getting back to wipe it off. So I think he was closer to 40 or even 60 minutes before he wiped it off. Definitely not like a normal ceramic coating. Mike said it was grabby and took some effort but wasn’t too bad.

Reminds me of when I was putting on CanCoat incorrectly like it was a normal ceramic coating. Let it dwell for a minute and boy did I get a shoulder workout that day.

 

[glen e]

Actually Mike gave you two options, he waited to do the whole car, but if he said that you are not up for it strength wise, that you can do one panel at a time- apply then wipe , that certainly could be less than 15 minutes. (Post #2) I found that both the 303 and BF hazed very quickly, Like in five minutes

I did read your step three.....was simply asking for a clarification.....thought perhaps I'd misunderstood

Wow!

Thank you for your trust Jacob. I hope I don't let you down.

You won't let me down Mike! Everything I've learned from you and all of the tools and products you've recommended have been very helpful and instrumental in me performing my very best!

Thank you for taking the time to teach us about this amazing coating. I actually installed it on my Jeep without the clay step, but I did just as you did and coated the whole Jeep before wiping it off (this was before you put out the review or YouTube video). "A tick on the sticky side", is absolutely correct.

It will definitely be nice not to have to worry about running out of Sonax Glass Cleaner for a while!


I can't wait to try the Sonax The Beast Wheel Cleaner on these van wheels that I have coming up. I assume that since it is color changing that it has iron decontamination.

Both - I use the SONAX Glass Cleaner as a waterless PREP WASH.

I do NOT use SONAX Glass Cleaner as a waterless "maintenance" wash.

Huge difference in the condition of paint. There's the "before" condition versus the "after" condition.

Make sense? AFTER buffing out and detailing a car now I want to use a car wash for "gentle" cleaning, not a glass cleaner.

This is what he did prior to prepping with Sonax:

"I washed and dried and then applied the new 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating on this streetrod. "

Correct. I wanted to remove as much as anything I could that may have been on the paint, glossing agents, old wax, whatever.

I would have clayed the paint and also used the SONAX glass cleaner for the clay lube but the paint passed the Baggie Test.


And by the way, the SONAX Glass Cleaner is very slippery.

I think Mike said he did the whole car and then took his time getting back to wipe it off. So I think he was closer to 40 or even 60 minutes before he wiped it off. Definitely not like a normal ceramic coating. Mike said it was grabby and took some effort but wasn’t too bad.

Correct.

Yancy and I were shooting b-roll video in-between working on this car so more time passed than normally if I didn't have other responsibilities that day. Busy buys -> :buffing:

Just to add more content here,

I just spent about an hour putting 303 graphene on my scooter, it works great on all the plastic, carbon fiber, paint, and the plexiglass windshield, no spotting ,no streaking at all ,very easy ......

There are about three different types of plastic on this bike, some Matte, some textured, some smooth, it handled them all…bike looks great

Very interesting.

When I applied this to the Toyota RAV4 I remember getting some on the pebble textured plastic trim. I did wipe if off and so far I've seen no staining?

I'm not sure if it's is safe or recommended to put the 303G onto pebble textured plastic trim? I can check.


Here's the full size of your scooter - looks great!

:dblthumb2:

 

[glen e]

Yeah I don’t really have any big pebble textured plastic on the bike, it is more of a matte/textured plastic underneath the tail light, and the graphene went on slightly oily, did not really Haze over but wiped off extremely clean. The biggest thing I saw that I was very happy with was how the graphene handled the plexiglass windshield, which means that for many cars, it will play well with the plastic headlights cover that are on most cars now.

Update...


Did the paint correction using the new formula Wolfgang Uber All-in-One and then applied the 303G

Very glassy, very glossy. I like the one-step application - no panel wipe.

 

[KBsToy]

Here in the Burg we're having a good old snow storm . Wife drove her rogue home from work parked in the driveway, I waited a bit and most of the snow that was on her car had rolled off
2 coats of 303G on it .

So Mike, you did an all in one with a sealant-type protectant layer and then put the 303G over that without a panel wipe? Hmmm. Didn’t think you could/should do that.
