SEMA 2021/2022 New Products

[BudgetPlan1]

Graphene bubble gum coating, once your done chewing a piece you place it on a new spot on your vehicle. It cures by the enzymes in your Saliva. 230 micron In thickness. Self healing in the sun and finally a coating that is rock chip resistant.

Willy Wonka would be proud!

Yeah I don’t feel graphene does much but i do look at it like this. If the come out with a better version of an old product or a really good new, good chance they add graphene for marketing.

I don’t think the 303 or the new adam’s line benefit from the graphene.

Totally agree. Most the products would stand or fall regardless of graphene in them. I'm all for going with a new product if it provides better performance or a proven advantage over others. At this point, I don't think graphene any of the graphene ones do. Not saying they won't at some point, just at this point in time I don't see a compelling reason to ditch what I'm using now. I will continue to watch with interest.

It’s interesting that Meguiars must have just skipped graphene do you think it’s because they are still behind on ceramics.

CarPro, Gyeon, Griots and others haven't gone there either. I think it's more of those companies feeling they can still deliver products which are competitive in the market with other ingredients.

I definitely planning on trying out the Griots ceramic glass cleaner. Another I think I'd like to try is the CarPro ReTyre and Spotless (I think that's what it was called). I've never tried a chemical based spot remover, other than just a vinegar and water mix. That might be handy immediately after washing. The ReTyre might replace Adam's tire & rubber that I use on really gunked up tires. Normally, P&S brake buster works well enough on the tires for me.

I saw the Adams live stream as well from the other day and the same thing was said. The discrepancy is between what is on the label and what is being said. 2 years? Sure on a garage queen. Adams also claimed 1 year on the original version and it consistently ended up around 4-6 months. I just had an Adams user reach out to me and they stated that they saw 6 months and could not get close to a year on their daily driver.

For sure....when these companies state longevity they have such a broad window to state the claim.
A claim really they can't be held accountable....2 years if it never left the garage......hey...they wouldn't be lying

I don’t forsee the Adam’s holding up a year. But if looked as a good true 6-9month LsP (read: not coating) with good water behavior i think it’s a great product.

Got back from Adam’s it has a 5 year shelf life.

Good value for the money.

It’s when it gets compared to CanCoat, Moonlight and CP lite that it becomes a not so good product.

Marketed right this would be a big win for them.

The thing that stuck out to me most was some of the CarPro options such as Spotless, at least in regards to new products. But the thing that really stuck out to me, especially seeing Gyeon come out with their coating reformulations and of course all of the graphene hype, is that CarPro didn’t mess with their coatings. I know they released SiC last year but that is pretty much saying they are happy with UK 3.0 or at least content with the current sales. Or they’re still working on the next version. So it may just be saying they haven’t got the next version out but based on the market, I’d say CarPro is in a pretty good spot with respect to their current coating lineup.
