Guess I know what I’m doing this weekend. Natasha is going to the beauty parlor. Really want to see how this ceramic comes out. They say 5 years but time will tell on that. 303 should help over the long run.

Are you using the Graphene over the Ceramic coating?

When you use the Graphene do it in thin layers or it dries thick and is tough to buff out. Also don't wear a white shirt because the product is black and it's stains. Ask me how I know? Unless they reformulated it it smells like lighter fluid so make sure the garage doors are open. :crazy:

I’m going to ceramic after a long clay bar workout one panel at a time. They say thin layers and up to 2 coats is ok. Will leave that be for a few weeks and then might do a 303. We’ll see. It is carbon so I would expect it to be black. We’re in the microns of thickness with ether of the products. Even so, it’s still almost as hard as diamond so light scratching and scuffs should be minimal hopefully.

I see. You can use it over any product but the ceramic is a much harder finish so I would probably just use the ceramic coating and not waste time doing the Graphene. Hit it with some speed detailer/gloss enhancer instead every 2-3 weeks.

I got so much stuff to put on the truck when I’m done with the ceramic. Just want that on all the paint. No decals or accessories. Then will have a marathon with the extras.

While I was installing my PUTCO lower grille, the amazon guy brought something for me instead of my Bride....a Rough Country 2.5" levelling kit!

It seems that every week this truck costs me money either in payments, repairs, or mods LOL

David, I did a write up on it here. It's been almost 8 months now and it's held up great. I've had a hard time finding a product that lasts out here with our sun and uv rays and so far this is the only one that still beads up like the day I applied it.

Ya I’m wanting to try it but won’t be until I ceramic first. Got lots of work to do before I get to the paint aspect of it. Got the tire care stuff too so that’s on the menu soon. I would expect that should help with them browning up so fast. @AzScorpion how does it work on glass?

It works great on glass. I also use it on all my shower glass doors as it beads up great and helps keep the soap scum off it. I pretty much hit everything on the exterior including the headlights and taillights and all rubber moldings around the windows. The only thing I didn't do was the plastic on top of the bed rails. Those I do with the 303 Aerospace protectant.
