Re: New Graphene product from IGL and maybe carpro?
Anyone have any updates on this?.
I've read Budgetplan1's thoughts on his website which seem good.
But both The Guz and Bolts don't seem to rate it as much, which is confusing.
Be grateful for further thoughts.
Thanks

Graphene is expensive. So expect products to not have as much within it.
Actually graphene is pretty cheap and easy to make. A little goes a LONG way. Almost all car products will use Graphene Oxide.

IGL just came out with a graphene Kenzo, received their email about it Saturday.

Yup it should ve available to installers very soon. Still not overly excited about the Graphene B.S.

Isn't this how a lot of people felt about SIO2 at first?

Re: New Graphene product from IGL and maybe carpro?
Graphene as used by the folks marketing it today is 100 percent hype. It is an additive to an existing resin-based orceramic coating. They add RGO, which is basically graphite, to the coating and call it "graphene".
Any benefit offered by the graphene coatings is independent of the added RGO.
Anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something or does not know what they are talking about. Not one chemist has revealed how their coating can use graphene's advantages, but dozens have come out to say that it is not possible to get the protection represented by the folks selling it. It's a buzzword being used in the industry right now to justify additional markup, nothing more

I have noticed two distinct characteristics of a majority of the graphene coatings I have played with.
1. Ease of use
2. Better water clearing. Beading is the same as normal coatings but the beaded water moves across the surface faster on a graphene infused coating.
A few years ago fluorine had hype like graphene and it was added to ceramics.
It also helps individuals who detail cars for client as an up sell.

Re: New Graphene product from IGL and maybe carpro?
Neither of those characteristics are due to what is basically ground up pencil lead added to the coating. They may be due to reformulation of the resins, etc in the coating. And let me tell you customers just LOVE being upsold on magic pixie dust, it really earns you a reputation as an honest businessman. Perhaps you'd like to offer to refill their blinker fluid?
