Re: 303 Graphene
I recently applied Hybrid Solutions Graphene paste wax over the 303 Graphene to a 1999 Ford F-150 Flare-side (rare truck)!!
It actually made the paint pop, the guy’s son said “the truck has never looked that good!!
Try it out!!

Re: 303 Graphene
***UPDATE***
Some time has passed and I wanted to share some 303 Graphene behavior I precieve to be.
1. I did not drive the truck and let the product cure for a few days after application.
2. Weather perceived or actual it felt like the slickness got a little better.
3. I had the vehicle outside and it rained. I did notice some light water spotting. Note: I did not use a topper. Not sure what to expect in this area as maybe it is similar to a ceramic coating. ????
4. We have had lots of pollen and I thought I would give the truck a wipe down. I decided to use McKees 37 Trademark Extender Wax liberally as a QD then buff. I cant say weather gloss changed a whole lot as 303 was already impressive in this area. I will say slickness improved though. This also removed any water spots there were.
5. I struggled with what to use as a topper and then by need and default I went with something I had on hand. I must say McKees 37 Trademark Extender Wax is a nice and friendly product. Not sure if it counts as a topper but it is what i used for now.
So, it rained hard today, of course right after I used the Trademark Extender Wax and the water behavior was very good with 303 as a standalone protection BUT after topping with the spray wax it is insane tight pin heads. I have attached a couple photos. 1 horizontal and 1 vertical panel.
Thoughts???

Re: 303 Graphene
I never care what the bead actually looks like, but I certainly care for how long the bead lasts… This is the metric I use to judge a product. Also depth of gloss using a ruler is a big indicator for me , again tied with time… Can I see many inches after six months?, if so, it’s a great product.
This is just my opinion, others may feel totally different and really dissect the actual bead appearance…Nothing wrong with that.

I like tight, tall and round beads or I'll re-do it with something else.

TOO big for the gallery to upload. If Autogeek let everyone upload gigantic image files a server somewhere in the world would fill up.
I resized the width to 1000 pixels wide and let the height
float. That is I let the software adjust only the width and the height will auto adjust WITHOUT DISTORTING.
Here's an article that shows the software I use every day to resize all the hundreds of photos I upload each week.

And.... water beading with 303 Graphene looks GREAT!
Thanks Mike! I appreciate it. Yeah I do not do much photo uploading. I also look at that software.
Just to be clear the water beading with 303 as a standalone was very good. When I used the McKees 37 Trademark Extender Spray Wax on top it was amplified. Also these were not created from a hose nozzle setting but rather good ole mother nature.

Monitor your finish. I think one of the features for the 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating is reduced water spotting.
Not sure if you'll get that benefit with the McKee's 37 product on it?
