Graphene vs. Ceramic?

[RockDoc]

Just had the OB Bronco graphene coated and compared to the ceramic one on my Maserati, seems to bead the same - looks similar but supposed to last longer?

My take is Graphine is added to ceramic formula to increase water beading to battle ceramics big con, water spots and etching.

I used Adam’s graphine advanced 7yr. It’s still like the day it was applied on my 22 f150 with spraying a boost every 6 months.
I am not aware of graphine helping with longevity

I’ve been using both graphene spray and paste wax. Both are great, but the paste last months longer, but a little more effort (wax on/off). Oddly enough, I’ve had great luck with TurtleWax.

I applied Graphene on mine a year ago. I have been very happy with it.

I used DuraCoating Technologies Graph-X6. 3 coats after surface prep back when my Bronco was at about 1500 miles in April '23. After I felt comfortable applying it, I did the same to our '69 Mach 1 with a jet black mirror finish.

On the Bronco it has held up everywhere except for the painted fender flare / wheel arch finishers. On the Mach 1, the only place it has struggled is under the gas cap since they don't seal very well.

It's hard to gauge without turning it into an engineering study, but I really do feel like the graphene was worth it vs traditional ceramic. I do still get water spotting since I live in SC and everyone mows their dirt 3 times a week. The tiniest bit of condensation grabs clay dust and turns it into glue. But with the graphene, a quick wash is all it takes. We have one vehicle that isn't coated yet and I have to do a polish once a year to get rid of clay spotting.
