David, your truck looks Mmm Mmm Good!

Wow!
Thanks, I'm gonna ride your words for years! It wasn't that bad and went faster than I thought. Easier to buff out than old-style wax.

PS - Awesome soup reference! =D

The 303 product has piqued my interest. Another product I'm fascinated with is Cilajet. Sadly, the Cilajet product is much more difficult to get, while the application process is quite expensive. My 2005 Mustang had Cilajet applied shortly after purchase when new and still looked immaculate when sold in 2020.

Edit: This is a ceramic coating that contains graphene. At one time, only certified dealers were authorized to apply the Cilajet product.

I also used the 303 Graphene spray, and i clay bar'd first, it's incredible how much that bar removes that you can't see or tell it's there, the shine is excellent i did two coats on my 2 vehicles and there is a lot left in the spray bottle. No more Carnuba wax for me :LOL:

I used the official @AzScorpion is-really-the-303-CEO 303 Graphene! =)

I think it was one of the first ones out and I like their Aerospace Protectant for our kayaks.

I spray it directly into a Chemical Guys sponge applicator (I hold the nozzle right against it) and do like three lines of spray on it. Then work one panel at a time (half the hood at a time).

At 74 degrees and sun, it hazed over in about 2 or 3 minutes. It rubs off just like a thin coat of wax (with a microfiber towel). On the red, it's easy to see spots you miss. On Kate's white Mazda you can't.

But you sure can feel it. It is smoother than glass.

I'd say, for older farts like me, that it's the "new wax" as far as applying it.

Gold Eagle is the US distributor for it:

They also make a graphene speed detailer that can be used even with water beads on the car, as a drying agent and fortifier to the graphene coat. You use this as a way to refresh your shine and to make the base coatings last longer. Supposedly, graphene will last about a year and I think that's what @AzScorpion has found.

It has some intersting properties. It's black but won't color your paint, it's supposed to be very hard, and it dissipates heat at the molecular level.

@AzScorpion does 3 costs on his and it's absolutely gorgeous. =)

The original plan was for me and my daughter to set course for Overland Expo East (about 6 hours), but then I realized I was about to pay (on-site camping, parking, food, entrance fee) for the pleasure of companies parading their gucci products and thought better of it.

Diverted to a random OHV in Cisco, GA which is an out & back with a lake at the end up on the mountain. Takes about hour and half to go in and come out. Saved a bunch of money even after gas and buying two fat steaks to cook for dinner at the top.

Whelp, my first dent. Introduced my Ranger to a fire hydrant that must have been installed while I was inside the mexican restaurant in Ely NV having dinner yesterday. I swear it was not there when I parked.... Anyhow - waiting to hear back from a PDR guy in my area to see if the dent can be removed. *sigh*
