SEMA 2021/2022 New Products

[Coatingsarecrack]

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.

UK is fairly new compared to the gyeon products so make sense with no change. Also probably one of the best aelling consumer coatings.

Lastly 3.0 is an awesome product. Might bechard to improve on without stepping on their pro applied coatings toes.

I definitely planning on trying out the Griots ceramic glass cleaner.

Agreed, this one seems a little intriguing.

I regularly use PA Diver on my windshields instead of a dedicated glass coating. It’s just easy to do and imho gets me the same results if I do it once every 4-6 weeks or so. The downside is it’s expensive, but you also don’t need much.

If the new Griots is similar it could be a much better value.

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.

I have a great marketing idea...put some graphene in a body wash. And boom ill shed water like a duck and now only have to shower once a week! Lol

But seriously i have not tried any graphene product as im not sure its any more than a marketing scheme. That word is being beat down so much just as ceramic did. I say enough already lol. All it does is make it harder for me to weed out the half assed products with the true good ones

haven't heard it talked about much here (came out a few months ago IIRC), worth a mention.. an addition to the 3D ACA (500/520) Line...

Adam’s came out with a gold label advanced Graphene spray coat. Twice the resin as the regular stuff.



18-24 months protection. With the regular one getting 6-8 months this one probably 9-12 real life? Would be great product for that price due to the shelf life.

Read in there forum it will last a few years if stored right. CanCoat i’ve read 8-14. Mine lasted 12 then turned to jelly.

CanCoat is definitely the better product. More Coating like. Better longevity, beading and water behavior.

Spray coating is more like a sio2 spray on steroids.

My only issue with CanCoat is if your not maintaining several vehicles your going to wast half the bottle or more. The Adam’s i feel is more versatile.

Will continue to use both. Ideally CanCoat maintained with the Adams every 6 months.

I'm curious to see how well the Adam's GCC holds up against Griots 3 in 1.

If your talking about the Adam’s in 2 months it definitely held up better. Beading wise anyways. Not sure on looks.

I feel the Adam’s is more stout than any sio2 spray sealant but less stout than any coating lite.

The only problem I see is application. Not hard at all and no high spots. You just have to let it set for 1-2 minutes.

Spray sealants are mostly easy to use and most can be used as a drying aid.

CanCoat can be wiped right away so both would be quicker.

I would buy this just to use on headlights.
