Graphene Coating?
Our market is flooded with something called “Graphene”, so I would like to say that “THERE IS NO GRAPHINE COATING /SEALANT/QUCK DETAILER OR WAX YET INTRODUCED TO OUR INDUSTRY”. Graphene is used just as an additive. The main molecule structure is the same SiO2. Some are even putting graphene to their organic polymer coating which is the previous generation of Glass/Ceramic coating. BC04 contains Titanium dioxide, Tin Oxide to BC07 and Zirconium to BC08 but those are named GLASS COATING because of the main molecule structure is SiO2. Pizza should always be named a Pizza with any toppings. FB_IMG_1619156257272.jpg

Well that told 'em.

I did not understand any of the above. Are we talking car polish here ? Mine is lucky to get a hose down after a muddy winter.

Hahaha.

Graphine is the new "buzz" word arround the detailing/car care industry when in actual fact its yet to be made into an actual product. The benifits of haveing Graphine in a quick detailer or even a coating would be massive as its so hard, but as yet its all maketing to get you into thinking you have graphine on your car. Does that make sense?

Many examples of it in use in the link below.

Why would it not be in car care products?

Are companies like Turtle Wax lying to us (I'm actually off to Halfords this am to get a bottle).

Graphene based products need to find a way to add 'nano' and 'quantum' into their descriptions then it would be good to go ;)
And also tested by the large hadron collider,, that will do the trick! Ha!

So New, Improved Formula Acme Graphene Nano polish with quantum tunnelling technology as used to polish the Large Hadron Collider. Higgs Boson approved.

That should warrant at least £40/bottle

Thankfully there are people on this planet who will stick their neck out and try new things otherwise, we'd still be roaming the savanna living off berries. :) ;)
