    Effect of Humidity on Ceramic/Graphene Coatings

    Greetings everyone,
    I'm considering applying a ceramic or graphene coat to my vehicles, and since I have never worked with these products, I am concerned the Colorado's low humidity (at or below 50% most of the time) may negatively impact the time available for polishing off the product. I look forward to your insight and feedback.
    Thank you

    Cris

    PS How much product will I need to coat the body of a compact crossover SUV?

    Humidity like that will have NO effect! If your talking an actual coating like those in the little glass bottles there's enough in the kit to do your rideEffect of Humidity on Ceramic/Graphene Coatings Watch videos like Apex Detailing for tips on how to do this correctly. If your not completely comfortable with an actual coating you could get something like 303 spray graphene. It's very user friendly and you'll get 4-5 months out of an application (I suggest 2x's after about 30 minutes inbetween)

    Humidity will affect the flash time of a true coating.

    Depends on how large the vehicle is. What model is it?

    Hi Guz,
    The first SUV is a 2001 Lexus RX300 and the other one is a 2019 VW Tiguan.

    I don't know what graphene coating you are planning to go with but you could easily get 2 layers from a 30 ml bottle (ie: 1 bottle for each) on just the paint. If you are planning to coat the wheels and glass then a 50-60 ml bottle will do that with a little left over for each vehicle.

    One tends to use less on the second layer if it is recommended by the manufacturer as the first layer goes into the pores and valleys of the paint.

    Re: Effect of Humidity on Ceramic/Graphene Coatings

    Gentlemen thank you for the insight. It's very helpful.

    I've yet to decide which product to use. I'm inclined towards ceramic coatings just because they've been around longer. As for which brand and product to use... ... I'm working on it

    Lots of good coatings. I've only tried carpro CQUK. It lived up to my expectations so far. Depends on your budget has well. CQUK must be one of the best bang for your buck coatings out there now since all the graphene coatings started coming out. Many are double even triple CQUK.
