My full time job has begun doing some product development with graphene. I don't know much yet, but I do know it is VERY expensive.

These companies are moving in the opposite direction to get any of my business.

I do not need (or want) something to last X amount of years. Especially when it has to be maintained in the same way (but with greater expense) as conventional sealants/waxes/hybrids.

I like (love) my bi-yearly routine of applying my LSP, and call me whatever you will........ But my 476 costs about $22 for 9 ounces which will easily last well over a decade. Not hundreds of dollars for something that will coat one car and the leftovers will not keep.

Sorry, chemists.......... :)

Very expensive...indeed!
I’ve seen it selling at $200 a gram.

•Let’s see...
[and relying on what memory I have
left of the old CBD conversion chart ;)]:
-There are 28.35 grams in an ounce
-28.35 X $200 = $5,670 per ounce


•For the ’formulators/blenders’:
-Being that Graphene is only one atom of carbon
“thick”, it’s considered as being two-dimensional.
-With that in mind: Graphene only costs around
$542,000 per “cubic” meter.


Will that be Cash, or Credit Card?

Good way to save some money, Bob...scratch your paint with a #2 pencil.

What a bunch of “b%!+#<?@”!

OOOPS...I meant:
That’d be a bunch of ”Buckyballs”!

I've used it and liked it. Still testing it out, been a few months and still going strong.

They say 5 years durability which is not much more than some high rated ceramic coatings.

There is one coating manufacturer that has a five year guarantee as well as a lifetime guarantee.

I always take advertised 'life/durability' with a grain of salt...

Amen, Scott.

I posted above about my Collinite 476. Clearly says right on the can "Gleaming luster lasts at least a full year".

I would never let it go a full year, but at 6-7 months it is still working. Just no where NEAR the way it performs when freshly applied.
