I'm sure it's good it's just once I find a product and company I really like I rarely look elsewhere. I joke a lot about the Graphene being the best (well it is! :wink:) but there's so many great detailing products out there now and work well too. I use to use Optimum products and really liked them but they just didn't hold up well out here. I'd be lucky to get 6 months before it broke down. I saw the Graphene and was reluctant to try it but have used many other Gold Eagle products and now their quality. With the Graphene and the Graphene detailer even after 1 year I still get great protection and water beading. Just goes back to the old saying "If it's not broke, don't fix it." :D
Reminded me of my concentrated optimum detailer usage, still love it with graphene combined.

I'm convinced my Graphene from the summer is still holding up. Soupie always looks shiny (but Soupie rarely drives on wet winter highways, so none of that nasty winter road grime. You know it all too well from your time in Massachusetts. Did that drive you nuts back then or is you super shiny truck action a more recent development?

I really see Graphene as the "modern wax". It's easier to apply, can be bugffed off sooner, and is easier to buff off with very long lasting results. I'm a 100% convert to it. Thanks to you (a serious thanks this time). =)

How Soupie feels after Graphene - vroom vroom!

I've cleaned things on a smaller scale in my Powerwash simulator game :LOL: All the little nooks and crannies.... How the heck do you graphene this whole thing? How long does it take? Massive props to you and great looking ride.

I still have mine too. I was using it with the Graphene Nano spray as a speed detailer/gloss enhancer but stopped once they came out with the Graphene detailer. I like that it has some Graphene in the detailer so you're adding a little more protection every time.

While you're at it this stuff works great on the touch screen and the plastic dash screen. :wink: You've been away so long you missed a lot.?

You read my mind, I was looking at my interior the other day and it looks absolutely horrid. Never cleaned it and ran through the desert sand mist with the windows down so I can feel the full effects of off-roading. If the sand ain't covering your whole body, it just ain't the same. :LOL:

Full disclaimer: It was great riding with the windows down once, then twice, then the third time you realize how big of a mistake that was as your truck smells like dust now.

My impression is that the engine is altering the timing slightly, retarding the timing when the computer detects pinging under load via knock sensors, which is more likely to happen in hot conditions and situations like towing. Under normal driving conditions, if the engine doesn't knock or ping, you might not experience any difference between 87 and 93 octane.
↑ This ↑
...and also, yes the tune is changing on the fly based on the octane used, as it is detected by the knock sensors.
